I really don't see a scenario where I'll be able to watch Tears For Fears and it's killing me. Maybe if they play after/during Deadmau5?
Also, no way Florence plays the Which.
The White Stripes, The Strokes, Mumford, Phoenix, Wu-Tang Clan and Wiz Khalifa, among others, have all played the Which. Florence + the Machine could definitely be on the Which.
I'd honestly put it at about 60-40 chance of What Pre-HL or Which closer.

Nope.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Since Bonnaroo is known for never making any scheduling blunders or anything...

So do you think there's a 40/60 chance Kendrick could close out the Which too?
No because we've known all along that he was a headliner. Also, may I revise that to more like 75-25 because I honestly forgot that Flo + and the Machine was billed 5th. Forgot how weak the top of the lineup is. Let me also say that they only reason I say they could close the Which is because they are on Sunday, and Roo does weird things on Sunday.
Just saying that something like Plant > Joel on the What, Florence on the Which, and Caribou, 21 Pilots, and the Bluegrass SJ as the tent closers doesn't sound that far-fetched to me. Roo always seems to make the Sunday pre-HL conflict an absolute mammoth.

GODDAMNIT SO MUCH!~ STS9 - Brown Sabbath - FlyLo - King Gizzard all on Friday. So that right there, I'm confident, means major fucking conflicts. King Gizzard is disappointing because I think this means they will be an afternoon show, but mother of fuckers if we have STS9 - FlyLo & Brown Sabbath all playing at the same time late night.

Yeah Friday looks like its going to be the worst for me as well. But luckily I will be able to kill a few of those with local shows. The schedule will make or break that day for sure, at least they have screens now so splitting sets won't be so bad.

I think your assumptions are correct. Hopefully Brown Sabbath gets a nice early night spot and we can all go to FlyLo after. Catch STS9 till the sun comes up. King Gizz I can see in a tent spot midday as well.

I'm counting on a FlyLo/STS9 conflict. If it doesn't happen I'll just be pleasantly surprised.

FlyLo > STS9 would be dope as hell.
Yeah I too was predicting that FlyLo would be up against STS9 a la 2012 Flylo vs. Umph & it would be on Friday. I was hoping that Slayer would play a Midnight show followed by Brown Sabbath into early Sunday morning. *sigh* I really wanted to end one of my nights dancing my ass off and drunkenly belting out Sabbath covers. Right now Brown Sabbath is my most anticipated show, I think it's gonna epic!
I can't see Robert Plant playing Which Stage at all and see it almost as a given that he'll open for Billy Joel. I'd also definitely wager that it'll be Florence and The Machine closing the Which Stage. Will it be crowded? Yes, but not nearly as people are implying if they play while Caribou, 21 Pilots, and the Bluegrass Superjam all close tents around the same time. I put Flo+The Machine right on the same level of popularity as The Strokes, The Shins, and Wiz. Spoon is a little bit behind those groups and, even though I love them, I don't think they're big enough to close Which. Having them open for Flo or Robert Plant makes the most sense for them.

I think you're underestimating how popular Florence is. She has nearly 2 million followers on Spotify. Also, why can't Robert Plant close the Which? David Byrne has done it before.
Looking at the numbers of Spotify followers, Florence and the Machine is very comparable to Wiz Khalifa (who had a Number One album release in August last year). Closing Which Stage is a big show, arguably the biggest of the festival outside of headlining. Granted, the new Florence album is looking like it might put them on a higher level than they've ever been before and they're 5 spots or so higher on the lineup than Wiz was. I just can't see the show being that overcrowded if she's playing at the same time as Robert Plant, Caribou, 21 Pilots, and The Bluegrass Superjam, and I don't see that as a reason to not book them there.

Her crowd in 2011 is the reason she won't be on the which. Nothing else is relevant. i have a feeling you weren't there for it. She was a rookie, it was 4 years ago, she's huge. Plant doesn't need to take a spot from her, it's pointless in 2015.
