Flume is bigger than Disclosure at the moment. Inforoo isn't a good source of determining an artist's overall popularity for the festival.
Not sure I've ever heard Flume playing in public. Maybe I'm just not aware of the big songs, but I feel like everyone knows disclosure at least because of latch.

I genuinely had no clue who Disclocure was
IMO Disclosure is definitely the bigger of the two. Aside from hearsay in my social circles, the only evidence of the top of my head is both regional and a single event, but at the same venue in Philly, Disclosure sold out within minutes, while Flume sold out a few days in advance.
Yeah, but that doesn't matter. Last year's lineup doesn't have an effect on this year's scheduling. The fact is that Flume is 11th on the lineup shows that there is a shot for him to get LN which. Is he a guarantee for on Which? No, but he does have a chance. Nobody has said that Flume is definitely getting the LN Which, people have simply suggested that there is a logical chance that it happens.
If you think Flume is bigger than Disclosure, you're out of your mind.
If Flume doesn't get LN Which, Childish Gambino has to. Other than those two and Bassnectar, there literally aren't any artists that can hold that slot down, unless Roo makes the mistake of putting Slayer or Atmosphere on it.
With the MMJ news, I moved them from LN Which to What before Mumford (and just left a blank space on the Which stage after Deadmau5). Then all hell broke loose on my mock schedule. I moved Childish Gambino to the Kendrick Lamar 2013 Sunday slot. I moved Slayer to LN along with two others for a LN Metal tent like last year. I more or less swapped MSMW with Tears for Fears and shuffled around some other LN acts.
This thing is a work in progress. As always, thoughts/comments are welcome...

Agreed, IF Bassnectar really plays Friday, I think it'll be Flume and Childish on the Which Saturday for LN. But, if Pollstar is wrong about Bassnectar, I think no one will play LN Which Friday and Saturday will be Childish Gambino -> Bassnectar (unless they surprise us Slayer or someone like that like you said)

I'm only speaking to disclosure vs flume.
Ah, I gotcha, I was just saying that the same reason Flume is billed higher than Disclosure is the same reason Flume has a chance at LN Which even though Disclosure was in a tent

Are you aware who they are now? If not you need to listen to that record stat.

We are all house music!
I kinda know their music and it is decent, but I haven't listen to the whole album. But I doubt I'll like it if it's house because hate pretty much all house. I'll give it a shot soon though if y'all insist they're so great

I hope this is the schedule. The late nights are the ideal steez nastys
I don't think royal blood would play that early, that would be a poor scheduling move. I don't think Atomic Bomb would close, but opening a LN seems more likely. I hope Hozier plays during half of Kendrick vs Alabama Shakes in that position, I mean those are two very popular acts. Then again 2014 Friday late evening was a nightmare. I have no idea how big Belle and Sebastian are, but would they be a similar situation to NMH last year? Couldn't see Gramatik opening a tent, but closing one. I'm hoping for Tycho LN, but there's so many options that this is likely for an evening slot. Still not buying Flume on the which LN, I think Friday LN which will be vacant, and Gambino>Bassnectar on Sat seems more likely. I know Bassnectar and Deadmau5 differ, but why use your two biggest EDM acts on that day. Also, since Deadmau5 is the first EDM act to headline on What, why would they want to steal his shine and let Bassnectar one up him by doing a massive LN set? Maybe I'm overthinking, but seriously Deadmau5 and then Bassnectar shortly after, the ambulances would come by the ton: we gotta pace ourselves through the 4 day weekend!!!

Why do you think it would be a mistake to put Slayer on the Which? They wouldn't get a big enough crowd? I think Slayer -> Bassnectar on the Which is possible but I don't really know how popular Slayer are.

Slayer is a big name in metal but unfortunately metal isn't typically "arena big" anymore (except for Metallica). Slayer pretty much plays theaters. I'm a big fan but I think they'd be more appropriately placed in a tent.
Having said that, your idea of Slayer > Bassnectar on the Which is unlikely but would be a really cool pairing. I'm not a big bassnectar fan but Loren has made clear his appreciation for metal (I think he was in a death metal band before doing EDM? someone can correct me if I'm wrong).
Reminds me of watching the faces of the Outkast fans on the rail at Voodoo, waiting through Slayer for Outkast to come on. I love that metal can still horrify some people.

Gotcha. I'm just having trouble figuring out who could play LN Which this year, and I'm starting to think it'll have to be one or two artist additions. Bassnectar is a given, but who are the other possibilities? Gambino fits an Afternoon What set better. Flume and Tears For Fears seem like possibilities but maybe not big enough. Slayer and STS9 seem more likely for Tent shows. Before the lineup I would have bet that Lorde was going to get one of those spots, but nope.

Watching Slayer scare the shit outta all the Molly heads would be fantastic.

Overall, I like the Mock.. I can see switching StS9 and Flume. On the Flume/Disclosure discussion. When the schedule was made Disclosure was rising fast. Sam Smith being billed with Bonnaroo and being there to perform with them helped their draw too. Flume is Huge is Australia, but just now gaining popularity in the states in last year or so. I don't think he is big enough for Roo's which stage with the other options.
Curveball Alert! (Yes I know all about the speculations, but the headliners are not confirmed yet 100%)
FRI What- Hozier>Alabama Shakes>Billy Joel Which- Ben Harper>Bassnectar LN
SAT What- MMJ>Kendrick>Mau5 Which- Ben Folds>Florence LN
SUN What- Robert Plant>Mumford Which- Spoon
If you're easily offended or in a bad mood, please disregard.
mmj>kendrick>florence would be way to perfect for me for it to happen
I made a mock before with that MMJ > Kendrick scenario and as I worked through it, I told myself that it would be too perfect and that it could never happen, so I changed it, haha
These are the remaining acts from the top 20 that have yet to be scheduled in the confirmation thread: Florence and the Machine, My Morning Jacket, Childish Gambino, Flume, Belle & Sebastian, The War on Drugs, STS9, Superjam
Currently there are 7/2/3 of the top 20 scheduled for Fri/Sat/Sun. Last year the final breakdown was 7/8/5. (3/5/0 were late night)
That would suggest most of the above acts will play Saturday, a couple will play Sunday and possibly 1 or 2 on Friday.
Bassnectar and Slayer are obvious LN possibilities for Friday/Sat respectively. Gambino, Flume, Superjam, and STS9 also have a strong chance for LN slots on whichever day they play. Assuming one of the above plays Friday LN and the other three play Saturday LN, that makes 2/4 LN and brings us to 8/5/3 for the three days. Maybe Ben Harper, Ben Folds, Hozier, or Alabama Shakes will get a Friday LN set to bring that 2/4 number up to 3/4.
That leaves us with FloMo, MMJ, B&S, and WoD, two of which will likely be Saturday and the other two on Sunday. The first two would likely be split. B&S is booked elsewhere on Sunday, so they would be a Sat act in that scenario while WoD would be left for Sunday.
All of this is making me think this will happen with the top 20:
