I never should've capatalized Deafheaven in the confirmation thread out of excitement

I just always picture their name as the text on the cover of SUNBATHER. Just looks better to me.

I will mark the halfway point as The Wood Brothers, so:

Pusha T
Polica
Goat
MS MR
Ty Segall
Sarah Jarosz
White Denim
Cloud Nothings
King Khan & The Shrines
Banks
Caveman
Classixx
Allah-Las
Haerts
Deafheaven
St Paul & The Broken Bones

If you gave me a little guidance since I don't really know your taste in music, I could narrow that list down.

I would say the must see act of the undercard would be Cloud Nothings. They've received hype from P4K and Stereogum, but they're still a fairly small band. Their new album drops in April and I bet they'll gain some tremendous momentum going into Roo because of it. Plus they are excellent live.

Indeed. Their album last year made some really cool Best of Jazz lists last year and had some really positive write ups. Here, for example: Jon Batiste - Social Music

Seriously. It'll be the best dance party of the whole festival.

Allah-Las I was not expecting on the Roo lineup!! Their debut album is really good. Classixx is really great too! Ty Segall has sooo much music for being so young, but he can do it all.

Seun Kuti should be a lot of fun. I haven't seen him but Femi was a blast.

I don't know if Meshuggah is "lesser known" but they're farther down on the lineup than a lot of bands being listed here.

And a lot of people have already posted Sarah Jarosz, but she's worth another one because she is a goddess.

We just saw St Paul and the Broken Bones last night in Atlanta. I can honesty tell you that it was amongst the best shows I have ever seen live and we have been concert goers for 25 years now. Can't wait for them to be at Roo and hope they get treated like The Revivalists last year and have a total of three sets spread out. Amazing energy. Pure emotion in the songs. Paul Janeway bares his soul in every word he sings. He took us to church last night. And they have trumpets so, yeah.
