Leon Bridges dates make him likely. Blink 182 seems like the best guess for a headliner at the moment since they're playing Firefly and are a huge draw in the area. Hope they book more bands this year, no festival should have Matt and Kim playing unopposed in the afternoon.
(re-posting this here because I put it in the wrong Bunbury thread) I waited in the same spot for 6 hours to see Walk the Moon front row (not entirely my decision) and inadvertently ended up missing the Tame set because it got cut short though I did manage to catch the last bit of Feels Like We Only Go Backwards which was amazing in the pouring rain.
I'm not sure if I'll end up going again in 2016 - last year was more of a one-time thing with two friends - but if the lineup is good I'll definitely look into it. The drive is 8 hours from Buffalo so it's not too bad.
2015 | Fleetwood Mac, Father John Misty, Bleachers, Wussy, Walk the Moon (x2), The Black Keys, Kacey Musgraves, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Avett Brothers, Shakey Graves, twenty one pilots (unfortunately), The Front Bottoms, Snoop Dogg, The Rolling Stones, Future Islands, alt-J, Courtney Barnett, The Gaslight Anthem, Com Truise, Girl Talk, Run the Jewels, Modest Mouse, Kendrick Lamar, Danny Brown, Broods, Brandon Flowers, Sam Smith, Goo Goo Dolls
Belle and Sebastian's set in 2013 was cut short due to weather and they weren't there these last 2 years but doesn't mean it couldn't happen especially considering it is a different festival production company than was running things before.
I just hope they learned their lesson after opening day last year. Almost 2 hours of waiting in line to get in the gates. And the area for the main stage is just too narrow. If I go back, it will be VIP so I can actually see this time.

Way too narrow. I won't be attending again and I only live 15 minutes away.

The promoters basically came out and admitted they were totally unprepared the first day. This festival averaged about 9k people the first 3 years and never made a profit. This year they sold out 20,000 tickets for the first day and many things obviously didn't go as planned. Most of the isses were addressed on Saturday and Sunday, and I'm sure they'll make a lot of changes next year. I was also upset about many things last year, but I think it's a bit premature to jump ship.

Blink-182 would make this festival for me, even without Tom. I hope to see the Saturday get something else a little less folky. Lindsey Stirling saved Saturday for me. I don't understand having a rock/rap/pop based Friday/Sunday then a bunch of folky stuff in the middle. Smaller artists I get, but not a different genre. If anything add a little electronic

I live in Hyde Park and wouldn't have to pay to park for this festival (I'd just use my work pass to park in the Banks), and I won't go if it's as big of a cluster as last year's Friday. But, Bonnaroo is a big "if" for me this year and if Forecastle isn't solid I might come back to this one for the first time since its inaugural year.

Blink headlining with Matt and Kim on the show is worth the price to me. #FingersCrossed
FYI, if anyone ends up not digging the Bunbury lineup, NMF is basically like a mini-Bonnaroo and is a fantastic festival all around and would make for a great alternative. Their full lineup usually comes around April, check out their 2015 lineup if you're curious about the kind of artists they book
Just a guess. Seems like a good fit and is rumored to be playing Governor's Ball that same weekend. We shared Black Keys with Gov Ball last year and Beck has done shows with Promowest before.
I'll make this mistake again...and hope they learned their lesson...and go VIP. That narrow patch of grass for the main stage with the sound board blocking so much of it was terrible. Plus the getting in, water issues, ATM's running out of money issues. That stuff I don't care about as much as actually getting to see the music and it's hard with that set up. By guaranteeing I can see with VIP, I'll try again.

Now if we get the Killers and M83 or Of Monsters and Men, I'd be more than happy with the crossover. Even just the Killers ???? (doubt it) Bunbury Twitter said a couple days ago that we have about a month until lineup release. I'd guess we should have it by Valentine's Day, but then again I don't know anything
