Y'all who think U2 would suck as a HL are dumb. I helped set up one of their claw-finger shows and got to see the show (fer free sure) and it was awesome! They played mostly the hits and overall had good showmanship.
I saw that tour too, only time I've seen them. Easily a top 10 show I've ever seen. If you don't get goosebumps when they start playing that into to Where The Streets Have No Name you're dead.
I'm happy with either U2-Red Hot Chili Peppers-The Weeknd (because I think that's a good mix of headliners) or even U2-The Weeknd-Kings of Leon (because maybe there is hope for an undercard)
Also, I know it's been talked about before, but could Kings of Leon be a 4 seeing as they are not as popular as they were?
First two are bands I'd like to see at some point, so Roo would give me that chance. The Weeknd isn't my favorite, but I'd check out part of his set or prep for LN. None of them are acts I'd be wildly excited for, although U2, while I'm not a huge fan, would definitely be a pretty cool show
If RHCP were replaced with Arcade Fire I'd be a lot more interested
Does he outright headline Saturday or is he paired with someone else?
I think he would headline but be given a 90-minute set that starts a bit later (maybe 10/10:30 pm?) and isn't completely unopposed. Beck -> The Weeknd would make for a pretty solid evening on the Main Stage.

Not sure how the second part of your post is relevant. The rumor about Kings of Leon originated from someone on Inforoo
Shouldn't have used for sure. Both seem extremely probable though.
What makes them probable? I just don't remember the convo that's why I'm asking. I wouldn't mind them but I'd prefer others. They'd be a big get for Roo regardless.

Gotcha. History with the fest, current tour dates, makes sense, random Reddit rumors. No one credible piece of evidence but a lot of small ones.

No one here is saying KoL isn't happening, of course they're likely. But a mention of U2 just sparked an interesting conversation because it's the fucking headliner thread. We discuss possible headliners here. I personally don't think it will happen but it's for sure worth a conversation.
If this rumor is true, I don't see how 2017 will be any different undercard wise.
Why do you say that?
Pearl Jam-Dead and Co-LCD was really expensive.
U2 and The Weeknd are possibly more expensive, this will sell tickets for sure, but they couldn't afford Arcade Fire, Muse, or another act like that with those two acts. Kings of Leon or Killers would most likely fill that third spot(cheaper number threes). We will see how this affects the undercard, but Roo needs to sell tickets and this is a good way for them to rebound.
