So, I want to understand where people are on the stand point of another headliner. Do you really think that the keys, killers, outkast and Jack Johnson are not enough for the hangout fest? I find the idea of another headliner slim at best. Who gets bumped? Outkast- not happening. The killers- they are playing a one-off- definite headliner. The keys are billed #1- not moving.
Let's squash the another headliner shiz! The biggest add at this point is vampire weekend, beck, phoenix, foster the people and maybe a big DJ in terms of popularity. Not my personal choices- phoenix and beck hell yes please!
Let's focus on what is real! Additions of one from above with Alabama shakes, head and the heart, local natives, disclosure plus more seems like the best case scenario. Unless there has been a huge change in the schedule like true tent closers.
May Tycho May Phoenix June Rooo July MMJ and Margo Price August Queen with Adam Lambert August Roger Waters (Bucket list #1) August Spoon and Portugal the man Sept Depeche Mode Sept Pilgrimage Fest
Yeah for shits n gigs I like the headliner discussion, but I def dont think we're realistically getting anyone added on that level. They need more acts to fill out that 4-6 line area of the poster. Thats where the noticeable drop off is.
I'm with you Zaj. I would kill to see NiN again and the rest of my summer depends on what festivals Jacket goes to. can't forget about Gogol Bordello either.
But a hopeful/realistic addition for me would be Arcade Fire
Hopefully Reznor holds up his word on touring the US this year. Theyre in Europe for most of the spring and into the summer. Lolla was awesome but their Tension show was way cooler and I never got a chance to see it live. Hopefully they make their way back to Chicago.

Who says MMJ is going to any festivals this summer?

How many music festivals have you been to?
Roo, HOMF, Mountain O, and doing Shaky Knees this year
I am 100% fine with no more headliner or top 1-3 line acts. I hope they spend that money on filling out the middle. As of now, I see there being good chunks of the day where I'm going to see some acts that I'll be watching just for the hell of it, instead of seeing acts I actually want to see. They'll also probably put some of those top tier acts that I really want to see up against each other.
My 2 cents: Judging by the bill, the schedule lines up something like Friday- Flaming Lips> QOTSA> Black Keys
Saturday- Modest Mouse> Pretty Lights> Outkast
Sunday- Avetts> Jack Johnson> The Killers
I agree with the most of you. I don't expect any additions in this tier. The least of these slots (pre-headliner main stage) being Passion Pit, Black Crowes, and YYYs last year. Perhaps something rivalling Iron & Wine or Wolfmother for Thursday, but I'm tempering expectations to fit the Letting Go Stage (e.g. Alabama Shakes). Our evening slots appear appropriately lined up for the weekend. Give me damm near anything y'all have suggested, but I'm not expecting more than beefing up of midday slots/Letting Go closers (e.g. at best Edward Sharpe and associates, MGMT, Local Natives, Dawes).

I have to disagree with you in one aspect: If the Alabama Shakes play this year, they would be in that top 3 tier. They headline smaller festivals and have a huge audience right now. Plus, this is in Alabama; they'd get the bump for being local. They'd almost be flirting with Chevy headliner territory.
To be clear, as you can see, we merely made mention of the rumors. We aren't tying our selves to them in any way, nor are we saying that they are true. Didn't really figure people would go nuts with it, but should've known better.

Flip QOTSA and Lips to the later slot with the sundown (also for taking their set down) and I think you got it.
So no one really responded to this earlier, any info on 311? The fact that they haven't played this fest yet is dumbfounding to me. I know theyre not for everyone, but it'd be awesome to see them on the beach. I feel like theyd fall in that 4-5 line range too where Hangout could use a more recognizable name.
