Hudson Mohawke. With that addition to Pitchfork it makes him a little more likely. I've wanted to see him since 2009. If he shows up on Roo's lineup it would save me $60, so that would be nice.
Might be an add-on this year that was originally going to be in the top half or even top third of the lineup - talks kind of went long from what I heard.

Oh good.
Maybe an artist in the top half or top third of the line-up. You mean like Empire of the Sun or the Rap Superjam in 2013 and Rodrigo y Gabriela and Cuba 2012?
Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.

Got a name?
"I really don't want to get my sources in trouble"
"The band trusts me so I don't want to betray them"
"I don't want to get your hopes up if it falls through"

Not saying that this is legit, but Consequence of Sound / Forever Bonnaroo got this pretty dead on compared to what I'd been hearing:
That link ended up being mostly wrong.

Take this as you will, this is what I've heard from my old workmates doing content for BLAM as of about a week ago. I'm certain that the lineup will look very close to this, probably about 90% so.
Locked: Sir Elton - Kanye - Jack White Phoenix - Vampire Weekend - Arctic Monkeys - Avett Bros - NMH AVIICI - Foster The People - Motorhead - HAIM - CHVRCHES Girl Talk - Sleigh Bells - Fitz and the Tantrums - Cage the Elephant - Flaming Lips / Ben Folds
Lips and Folds may be taking over the full superjam from Jack White, who may have not had enough time, but he will still be there. Their BLAM superjam was meant as a small introductory rehearsal just in case.
Probably: Gaga - Louis CK - Cake - Earth, Wind & Fire Also either Flight of the Conchords or Portlandia - Bookers wanted another comedy / music act to fill Weird Al's well received late night slot from last year.
Half of those locked were already confirmed by real insiders, and most of the rest aren't there. After the first two lines, we didn't get any of the bands besides churches, fitz, cage, flaming lips. (hint: all of those were already confirmed/semi-confimed)
And the only one in the probably list that showed up is Cake, who was also pseudo-confirmed.
Can we stop humoring this person?
The most damning thing should be that they just took the CoS route and named a bunch we already sorta expected to be there and said they "heard from friends" they were on the lineup.

For sure. I legit couldn't remember if they got anything remotely right and didn't want to go through their posts. As far as I know the only legit insiders who got multiple things right are insider and infinitypass.
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting and reminding me

Jungle are playing their first ever U.S. dates in a couple of weeks (they've only played a handful of shows period), and I'm incredibly stoked to see what their live arrangement looks like and sounds like. Their debut EP The Heat was among my most played records, and I was lucky enough to score a 10" of the EP before it sold out and started going for a mint on resell markets.The videos below don't actually depict anyone in the band, but you have to imagine there will be some sort of dance element to their stage shows. They're headed back to England in April and May, but they've announced nothing for June so far. I have to imagine they're a shoo-in for Glastonbury this year, though.
I have to remind myself in times like these that correlation does not a confirmation make, but Jungle has a tour gap between playing Seattle the 10th and Minneapolis the 13th. Manchester isn't exactly in between those two cities, but them being a smaller band makes a Thursday slot seem at the very least a possibility. Figuring this stuff out always seems like a crapshoot until bands are confirmed, but additions are always exciting, if not titillating.

I feel like despite Kanye headlining, hip hop is sorely underrepresented this year so I really hope they add some more. Wiz Khalifa really shouldn't be the second billed rapper, but I doubt they'll add anyone that could supersede him like Drake or maybe Schoolboy Q. I'd really like to see some more mid tier acts like Le1f, Kool A.D., or Young Thug. Hell, I'd even take a Riff Raff late night set.

I agree that Rap is a bit less this year, but it was a huge portion of the line-up last year. It would be hard to sustain that number or rap acts every year. I wouldn't be surprised for an addition to include rap. People here have mentioned Childish Gambino, Schoolboy Q, Run the Jewels, etc. Still, Roo tried for Outkast and couldn't get them, so that's a big one that got away.
But Kanye, Danny Brown and Pusha T released three of the best rap albums of last year and A$AP Ferg's wasn't bad either. Plus Lauryn Hill and Ice Cube as 90s legends make Wiz Khalifa an after thought. Bonnaroo got quality over quantity this year in hip-hop.
Edit: Totally forgot Chance the Rapper. I'm not a huge fan, but people swear by him.

Edit: Die Antwoord and Omar Souleyman would also qualify as rap in a way but... yeah.

Sure, there's not a ton of acts towards the very top but the lineup has some good choices. I bet we see a few more with additions, too. Ice Cube holds down the "middle of the lineup, veteran rap act" slot while we get newer up-and-comers like Danny Brown, Chance the Rapper, and A$AP Ferg. Also can't forget Pusha T and Frank Ocean (even though Frank isn't really hip hop....it may have some guests and spots that fans of hip hop will enjoy.

Besides Cube I've seen them all at least once, twice with Chance and three times with Danny, but I just feel like that group is really all we got. Like last year we had Wu Tang, a rap superjam, Kendrick, Nas, A$AP Rocky, Action Bronson, Killer Mike, Big K.R.I.T. and a few others I'm struggling to remember. I guess last year rap seemed more high profile and this year we just have Kanye and the cluster in the middle that you mentioned. Don't get me wrong, I'm pumped for all of those shows. I just wouldn't mind a few more because hip hop is a genre I like seeing live.
Edit: I'm gonna go ahead and say Frank Ocean and Omar Souleyman are definitely not rap. Frank raps but I wouldn't expect him to break out his Oldie verse just for fun.

I think the quality this year is concentrated into the Kanye, Cube, Lauryn, Pusha combo. Those are gonna be four great shows I bet. Well, as long as Lauryn is sane at the time.
I'm also only counting 10 hip-hop shows last year (including jam) and 8 this year. Maybe one add but I don't know if its necessary.

Could last year's rap be this year's EDM? (Forgive me if I'm not depicting the genre correctly). Last year there were more rap acts and a hip hop superjam. This year, there's a high number of quality electronic artists (skrillex, zedd, kaskade, disclosure, chvrches, glitch mob, Robert Delong, Classixx, Sam Smith, rudimental*, chromeo*, washed out*, cut copy*, etc.) and a skrillex superjam. See the pattern perhaps?
*debatable due to their live performances if they'd fall into "EDM" or whatever kids call it these days.

And ya, IMO quality>quantity this year. Hard to complain about the selection tho And unless you hate Wiz with a passion, he did do a decent afternoon What Stage performance. I'm most curious about where/when they are going to send him this year.

no Gibbs... I wanted Jarren Benton and in looking realized they are on tour.. My favorite hip hop adds would be Bliss n Eso from Australia, The Uncluded w/Aesop Rock, or Run The Jewels, but I'm seeing them at counterpoint so I dont care..

Sam Smith is not EDM. Not even close. I wouldn't really classify Chromeo or CHVRCHES as EDM either, but those could be debated I suppose.
Childish Gambino is announcing additional concert dates this Tuesday via Twitter. Expecting Bonnaroo to announce additions Tuesday as well so it could be a good sign.
