The more these lineups come out, the more I like this. I doubt I can swing FL in March with doing Atlanta in April but if I can find a couple cheap tickets.....
Based on that mock: Friday: Rainbow Kitten Surprise >> Bling Boys of Alabama >> Revivalists >> Sturgil >> Lumineers >> Lewis Del Mar >> Vulfpeck Saturday: Allen Stone >> Moon Taxi >> Escort >> George Clinton/Floozies >> Galactic >> Usher and the Roots >> Mac DeMarco > Pow Wow Sunday: Funky Dawgs Brass Band >> The Growlers >> Con Brio >> Bleachers >> Young the Giant >> Wiz >> Joywave >> KOL
Friday and Saturday would be pretty nice. Sunday pretty weak for my tastes.
I Made a mock that's as close as possible to last year's. Tried to follow last year as a template. Only has the 3 main stages.
Thanks for putting that together. Sunday going from Growlers>Bleachers>12th Planet>Young the Giant>Porter Robinson>Pretty Lights would be dope.
Edit:
I'll give Okeechobee some credit again. While the headliners are ass there is some really awesome diversity in everything below that. I truly think they did a great job getting some diverse styles and such. It is going to be a fun weekend.

I really hope the Powwow is up against Bassnectar. I'd be most upset if it was against Pretty Lights, if it was against Flume that wouldn't be awful.

With me spending 3 days a week in West Palm for work, this definitely comes into play, I'd only really have to take one day off of work (Friday) and no flights involved...nice!

Thanks for making this! With it all laid out, Okeechobee has proven to have one of the strongest lineups this year. If the headliners read Radiohead-Kings of Leon-Usher and the Roots- Bassnectar------wouldn't we all agree that this lineup was better than bonnaroo?
Friday - Rainbow Kitten > FKJ > Coldwar kids > Sturgill > badbadnotgood > Lewis Del Mar > Bassnectar > Vulfpeck Saturday - Moon Taxi > Sleigh Bells > Anderson Paak > George Clinton > Galactic > Usher and the Roots > Mac Demarco > Flume Sunday - Con Brio > Bleachers > Logic > Young the Giant > Porter Robinson > Pretty Lights > Kings of Leon

Friday- Rainbow Kitten> Cold War Kids > Sturgill Simpson > Griz > Lumineers > Lewis Del Mar > Nectar > Vulpeck or SOJA
Saturday- Jacuzzi Boys > Moon Taxi > Sleigh Bells >Anderson Paak > George Clinton > Snails > Usher and Roots > Mac Demarco >POWWOW
Sunday- Growlers > Bleachers > 12th planet > Young the Giant > Porter Robinson > Pretty Lights > KoL
Damn I'd be pretty busy too. There are a lot more conflicts that I thought there'd be. Badbadnotgood against Griz is rough, plus I still want to check The Lumineers playing the new album. Oh and if Cold War Kids and Sturgill Simpson go back to back, I am going as close to the front as I can for that shit. Unfortunately in this mock it's the Nectar day so that would test my patience.

It's too bad the top line of this is so questionable (outside of Usher and the Roots, which sounds great but not #2 great), because the rest of the lineup turned out pretty decent.

Yea and it's unfortunate because it's not like you would have needed to increase the budget to fix it. It was just bad booking. The talent buyer is apparently doing an AMA at 9PM EST on Thursday BTW, for anyone that wants to yell at him for booking Kings of Leon or re-booking Bassnectar.

I would assume there was an element of having to take what you can get. It's a second year festival trying to compete with all that AEG and LiveNation money.

That's true. They very well could have just been backed into a corner with KoL being the only real option. Didn't someone say they did indeed try for Arcade Fire and it just didn't work out?
After all is said and done, this festival is only 2 hours away from me and I'd be silly not to go. The weather is beautiful this time of year in Florida, the lineup is pretty great, besides the top line, and Bonnaroo which is 12 hours away from me has a pretty shitty lineup in comparison. So Okee has my money.
i think they just didnt blow the budget on the headliners and got 5-6 non getter acts. I prefer festivals that do this. i don't care for headliners normally

For me, that top line is ridiculous for the sole reason that Bassnectar was booked for a second year in a row as a second year fest. KOL headlines anywhere and Usher and the Roots is a cool act. Can fault them for those.

Agreed. Bring Bassnectar back and bill him higher than the first year? It's like how Adam Sandler doesn't even try to come up with plots for his movies anymore. He knows he can dupe enough people to go see it, so why bother? It's an easy sell.
Do you think they'll feature more craft beer this year? I heard that the beer was heavy on the corona side last year, and that's unfortunate because there's so many great breweries in the area like Cigar City, Funky Buddah and Swamp Head. They should have something for local breweries, kind of like the Brooers fest at Roo.
They likely billed Bassnectar as a headliner because the festival attendees treat him as one.
True on the billing, but who brings a highly billed act back that quickly, especially for a festival that is in it's second year? Either this is a Basnectar festival for now and going forward or they did a shitzy booking job.

His name guarantees tickets selling, so that's why.
Nice! What day confirmations do you know of? I know Tauk is Thursday, CWK are Friday, and Sleight Bells are Saturday.
Flume - Looks to be Friday The Lumineers - Sunday Young the Giant - Friday Anderson .Paak - Sat/Sun Cold War Kids - Friday Soja - Sunday Snails - Saturday D.R.A.M. - Sunday Sleigh Bells - Saturday Louis the Child - Friday The Growlers - Sunday The Floozies - Saturday The Knocks - Sunday Badbadnotgood - Friday Allen Stone - Fri/Sat George Clinton - Saturday FKJ - Friday The Japanese House - Fri/Sat Lewis Del Mar - Friday Bipolar Sunshine - Sunday Ganja White Night - Saturday Khruangbin - Sat/Sun
Some of those may not be 100% correct, but that's what dates for those acts look like.
