WTF is Zoogma? These guys have played the main fest in years past at the restaurant stage and a pretty common around the SE as someone else has said. If you read the fine print about the Beach House it states those artist are playing all weekend. I don't think I've seen a weaker single day line-up as this steaming pile of shit they're trotting out for Sunday. Maybe they'll do something like bring back the stage in the VIP grove or something. I'm certainly not in the camp for giving Goldenvoice/AEG a pass for this years line-up because they were the principal booker for last year too. So in year two they shit the bed bigger than they have on any of their other festival bookings. Trying to decide on which t-shirt to have printed "HOF 2016 HUKA > AEG" or "HOF 2016 & AEG the premature ejaculator." I'm sure we'll get something more offensive and clever in the next week.
How is anyone ripping on Sunday with Florence, Grimes, HAIM, Run The Jewels, Courtney Barnett, Wailers, Raury, Judah & The Lion, Health, and Muddy Magnolias all that day. Friday is the one that doesn't do much for me. It'll be the worst closing situation with Weeknd and Chainsmokers and the rest of it are all bands I'm cool with seeing but not exactly pumped to see.
Also: Who the hell is playing the tent Saturday lol? There are no big rap/EDM acts that day at all. I guess Miike Snow could close it possibly but nothing else pops out as a closer or even a sub closer for the tent.

Sunday looks like itll be the most conflict heavy.

It's 90% Chainsmokers with a small chance for 3LAU or Alison. Chainsmokers are sucktackular or at least the few seconds I could stand when I've tried to listen to them a few times. Weeknd vs Chainsmokers is bad.

What. You don't like the selfie song? (sarcasm smiley: I don't know how to do it on the mobile version)
Why is Summer Fest in Milwaukee not discussed here at all? Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Nelly, Mike D, Umph, Fitz, Roots, Weezer/Panic collab, Kool n the gang, Sir mix a lot, Weird al, prez hall, young the Giant.
$90 gets you all of that plus 800 bands. (versus this bullshit from Hangout)
"Summerfest is an annual music festival held at the 75-acre (30-hectare) Henry Maier Festival Park along the lakefront in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The festival lasts for 11 days, is made up of 11 stages with performances from over 700 bands, and since the mid-1970s has run from late June through early July, usually including the 4th of July holiday.[1] Summerfest attracts between 800,000 and 1,000,000 people each year, promoting itself as "The World's Largest Music Festival", a title certified by the Guinness World Records since 1999.[2][3]"
So here's where I'm at with the by day acts I would see...
FRIDAY

- Big Grams
- Moon Taxi
- Silversun Pickups
- Borns
- The Struts
- Vince Staples

- Zoogma (like what I've heard from the limited listening)
SATURDAY

- Cage The Elephant
- Miike Snow
- Foals
- Portugal. The Man

There's plenty I like on Saturday and Sunday but Friday the biggest issues are the bands I would see are not high up on the lineup. Just gonna be a very anti-climactic end to the night.
You mentioning me cuz I asked if it was possible that Calvin close Sunday? Did you take internet offense to that? lol, you were right, I was just playing devil's advocate buddy. Anyways..
Winter is coming, Hangout, and I'm a busy little bee. Buzzz! Buzzz!
A little surprised by the back-to-back Taxi nights, but meh, whatevs. Also why are all the ladies Sunday? Meh. Saturday looks to blow a bit, but it's all good. Glad everyone was right about Flo closing - we'll get some actual instruments woot woot!
By my count we are still 4 short one being reach for the beach. Friday and Sunday each lack 2 acts. For all the trolls out there it will be Arcade Fire with Prez Hall, Pearl Jam, GNR and Milli Vanilli...
They have to be switching up the schedule/stages big time. Maybe this is what is taking so long. It may not run logistically the same as past years. We already know they're trying to put the BMI stage in the sand so who knows what else they're messing with.
My breakdown: (bold=highest on the list). Not a stacked fest lineup, but enough there to be fun and a laid back hang with good friends, just like the beach should be.
Friday: Alabama Shakes Chainsmokers Jason Isbell Big Grams Moon Taxi SSPU Struts Vince Staples Givers Bully Pepper Zoogma
Saturday: Calvin Harris Cage The Elephant Leon Bridges Miike Snow Foals Neighborhood PTM Bear Hands Atlas Genius Snails Griswolds Record Company
Sunday: Florence Kravitz Haim RTJ Fetty Courtney Barnett Bro Safari Judah and the Lion Bass Drum of Death
someone told me in the past that the Thursday night pre-party is just on the non-beach stages. With BMI on the beach this year I wonder if that changes...probably not since that still leaves Boom Boom and Palladia.

BMI was never used for pre-party. They use the Hangout restaurant stage.
Gonna suck having to leave a rail spot to catch Run The Jewels... I was hoping they'd go HAIM into Florence on the Hangout Stage which looks likely but Run The Jewels will probably close either Palladia that night or be a sub at Surf stage on the complete opposite side of the beach. Unless they wanna just get gangsta with it and put RTJ on the main at like 3:30, Haim at 6, and then Florence at 9. That'd be a sick way to end the weekend.

pretty close for me as well. Include Pepper, royal concept, roots of rebellion & subtract big grams for me on Friday. Koa, record company, stick figure and remove snails Saturday. Lenny, strangers you know, coasts and remove nothing Sunday. I'm pretty musically flexible for the most part though.
Wonder if that means no online stream throughout the day. Usually when AXS does their streams u obviously only get access to one band at a time and they don't show full shows either so that kind of sucks.

Great find. Seems to me that MTV isn't a sponsor anymore

They do have a killer lineup. However, I have heard this "fest" is the biggest shiz show to ever exist in the music world. Soooooo many people have told me that it barely feels like a festival at all and it is just an awful experience. Just what I have heard from the grape vine, many many grape vines.
I'm not familiar with the majority of the non headliners. Could someone tell me which bands and artists are edm. Bands I would find at Tomorrowland. Thanks.
