Firefly 2017: Now Serving Water

I'm ready for year 3 of kings of Leon.

If you say Kings of Leon 3 times fast, they magically appear on FF lineups.  so don't do it.  

Has TOP mentioned any interest in touring this summer? Their tour is supposed to end in Australia in April.

i would imagine they at least tour into late spring, but they have to get into the recording studio for blurryface's followup sometime soon. 

RHCP - LCD soundsystem- TOP

Just spitballing. Don't think LCD is particularly likely.

This is interesting. I think Pearl Jam is a very high likelihood of being there. Just seems like the year.

Stevie Wonder - meh. If they have Pearl Jam they don't need to use that much $$ to draw in the older crowd. I'd use it to build a solid undercard while getting a band like Strokes or Vampire Weekend to fill the headline spot.

Is Incubus really Top 5 at a major festival? I think of them more as a 4 or 5pm nostalgia act like Third Eye Blind.

take my money. This would be GREAT (and not totally unrealistic budget wise)

Pearl Jam isn't playing.

I'd be all over this, but is Muse even touring this year?

I don't see the need for a headliner not in the alt-rock/radio rock genre since they've been selling 80k+ tickets the last 2 years.

RHCP/The Strokes/TOP/Skrillex

I don't think we're going get anything special headliner-wise this year.

i see no info on a Muse tour other than a random site speculating they are working on a new album and could tour in late 2017. Only PJ info for 2017 is a rumor of them and Foo possibly touring in early 2017 in Europe

Again, they will be touring.

They have shamelessly hinted that they will be doing shows. There are rumors of a new album, and if you check their touring history, they don't stop playing festivals. The only "off" year was 2014 when they played Coachella and a random show in Dallas. At this point they are on the same level as Foo Fighters, the Killers or Coldplay. They might take short breaks, but they are always good for at least some festival shows a year (obviously Foo's being an exception this year, Coldplay did an off year in 2013).

Btw, another band to consider that might fill the TOP spot, and fits this festivals demographic is 30 Seconds to Mars. They have a new album in 2017 and Jared Leto has a pretty high profile these days. Could be a cheap butt rock headliner.

edit: Also possibly the most underrated as far as a headliner or sub is Alt-J. This assumes that the coachella and new album rumor are true.  

Hmm maybe I should do this instead of GovBall or Panorama. If they book Muse and an undercard on par with this year I'm down. I've wanted to go to Firefly for a couple years now but chose bigger festivals instead.
