According to my 2015 Poster the Headliners were Foo Fighters, Sam Smith, ZBB and Beck...if headliners are performers on top of lineup poster. Skrilly was first performer on second row. Close enough not to squabble over.
Hmm the poster I have framed on my wall clearly shows Jack-u as the second name after foo fighters.
Diplo, Skrillex, Jack U, Beck, Foo, ZBB all headlined our little 3 day fest!!!
nvm, that makes no sense.
Where the fuck have Weezer and 311 been? Getting a little ridic after 6 years...
Pearl Jam | Arcade Fire | Drake | Florence + The Machine Calvin Harris | Ellie Goulding | Weezer | Tame Impala Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds | STS9 | Dillon Francis | Ryan Adams (1989 Tour) Chris Cornell | Cage the Elephant | The Kills | X Ambassadors Run the Jewels | Diplo | Sliento | NERO
I know this has nothing to do with recent conversations but Shell decided to join us tonight for Dead and Co. in Buffalo so moten34 is about to experience "his" first Dead show. Proud to-be dad.
Nice. Both of my little rocks experienced Panic NYE from the womb.....and i've got dead&co next week!
I'd be surprised if we got DMB again. Especially if they keep up the 2-set thing they've done the last couple years. They haven't played any US fests during this span and that format doesn't really work for a headlining fest setting.
To be fair, this guy is wrong just about as often as hes right in regards to Dead related stuff. He also mentions headlining Coachella which we know isnt happening. I could maybe see Roo and then the hippie circuit of Lock'n, Vibes, etc as a more relaistic option.

...Was the show any better or worse than the last one Moten?
If I had to rank the three it would be Philly, Albany then Buffalo. A lot of that is because the lot scene was terrible in Buffalo. The band was great all three stops and musically Buffalo was better than first set of Albany. Four new songs played last night. The crowd was into it. It was a fun night and I dont think youll be disappointed no matter where you see them.

Fingers crossed Dead & Co play Hangout or I probably wont get to see them and should have put them at the top of my wish list. I would not count out a repeat of DMB as they admittedly had voice, health or some sort of sound issue last time. Not all, but most musicians talk and take some sense of pride in their performances. If you don't you end up like Kanye. TAB is sort of Dead-ish in my opinion and they had fit in well at Hangout so that would be a pleasant surprise vice Drake. Not beating up on Drake, but prefer other headliners. I would rather see Drake close the Chevy stage as I rarely walk to the other end of the Hangout site for those closers. Exception TAB and MMJ.
Wow...139! I really hope we see a better lineup than some of the mocks (from my perspective). I like Zen's this morning. I would swap Flo and Drake Friday. Saturday I would swap Tame Impala and Chris Cornell and move those two (legends) to Sunday and Arcade Fire to Saturday night to kinda keep to the legends thing on Sunday night.

I guess it really depends on how people define "headliner." Like someone mentioned yesterday, some people refer to the Surf Stage closers as headliners too, so when they say Dead & Co. may "headline" Coachella he may not necessarily mean Top 3.

No one thinks that way except for a couple of folks on this board. It's something that a guy said one time in an article to sell tickets to the festival he was putting together. If you think My Morning Jacket headlined Hangout last year, I don't know what "to" tell you.
There are a few festivals that have "competing" headliners, but Hangout isn't one of them and neither is Coachella.

To be fair Sam Smith was billed 2nd on the lineup last year and was going to be a surf stage closer but he was definitely still considered a headliner. His replacement Jack U (billed #2 on poster) actually did play at the same time as the Foo Fighters who were billed first on the lineup. I'd consider that "competing." I recognize its not a common thing for this festival but it has happened.

Counterpoint of that thougb is that Jack U would not have been top two lines had Sam Smith not dropped out.

I remember reading in some reputable source that Coachella did make a serious effort to get the full Dead reunion last year, as did Bonnaroo. That said, I think that article boils down to "Dead & Co are doing the festival circuit next year. Here are some examples of of festivals."
Drake and the Dead would look pretty funny on this poster though.

It wouldn't surprise me, given the violence that comes with hip-hop artists like Drake.

Lol, you guys crack me up. This is what happened... Hangout booked Sam Smith. They didn't know that they had booked the golden goose, though, until he won fifty Grammys. They announced him the day after the Grammys and moved his name way up the poster, where he will reside for some time now (though his stock could already be falling slightly). When they booked him, he was not a "headliner."
Jacku was a replacement for Sam Smith. They had to move around the schedule after Smith canceled, so there was no plan of competing headliners going in to the fest and there were no other instances of this happening.

If I remember correctly Roo offered The Grateful Dead plus Trey like $4 mil or something to headline and they turned it down. So I'd say Dead & Co. are more likely for Roo now than anything,

Ehh... Not so sure about that. They're billed third in front of Mumford & Sons in all of the Lollapalooza South America lineups.

Is ACL one? bc hey had skrillex vs eminem so that seals that.

Yeah, but that's Jack U now, after they've released a few of the biggest singles of 2015. When they were booked/announced in January 2015, they weren't nearly as big.

I still think Sonny & Diplo crack the 2nd line above the likes of Paramore & FTP. They already had mainstream success in May.
