Usual suspects. Look at who other festivals booked in headlining slots and dont have dates around that time. They went with the option they thought was the biggest name.
Gorillaz?
They tried for Gorillaz regardless of The Weeknd being a dbag. It didnt work out scheduling wise.
Have to imagine Jay Z isnt one of those usual suspects. Looking at the other fests tho, seems like it was probably between The Killers, Frank Ocean, Twenty One Pilots, Mumford, and maybe Petty
I wonder why Kanye wasted time with producers like Arca, DJDS, Hudmo, and Gessafelstein? Why not just do a big track with Porter instead?
LOL You think Hudmo is "underground?" His beat was in a friggin commercial for Macbooks.
You sure only listen to the cutting edge there guy.
LOL way to ignore the entire context of what I just said
edit: It's not surprising that you would base Hudmo's popularity on an apple commercial. He joined other megapowers like Photay, TOKiMONSTA, Kwabs, Classixx, Louis the Child, Hayden James, Neon Indian, and Holy Ghost. Great point

Dont feel bad, a lot of people discover new music from hearing a song in a movie or on TV... Most of them just dont go on the internet and call it "underground" and act all superior about their garbage taste.

I get my music from apple commercials. You really nailed it. I should pretend to have super close friends in the music business and only listen to the music featured at their festivals.

I think Apple elevating someone like Hudmo out of relative obscurity and putting his music in a national ad is the exact type of thing RotoRooter is wishing C3 still did with their festival lineups.

Asking out of pure honesty, who would that refer to in previous cases?
I'll add them both to the list to check out for sure
check out the lemon twigs even if you're so so in their recorded music. They're super entertaining and surprisingly bad ass.
While The Lemon Twigs aren't a bad option, they conflict with PUP who are one of the better, younger live punk bands around now, so I would see them instead. I think this is their first appearance at a major U.S. festival (I'm just counting Coachella, 'Roo, Lolla, or ACL but don't want to start a major / mid debate...).

Looking back at 2012, for example, they had a significantly higher number of true independent artists, rather than "indie" artists with major label support like they do now. Sharon Van Etten, War on Drugs, Metric, Fidlar, Tallest Man on Earth, Bear in Heaven, Chairlift, Washed Out, being one of the first festivals to spotlight Frank Ocean, Polica, the Walkmen, Sigur Ros, Dum Dum Girls.
I'm sure you can pick apart that list and find some that had corporate support in 2012. That list was just at first blush. But pound for pound lineups from a few years ago had more "underground" acts.

Or maybe I'm just going crazy.
Psst: The number 1 name on the poster is a completely independent artist who releases most of his music on Soundcloud

He actually has a financing deal. With Apple, ironically.

Artists can get corporate support in a lot of ways, through a major label, through their management agreement, through their tour agent, or flat out have corporations financing their recording for a share of their future revenues.
If you're going to pretend only the first one counts, well you do you.

Is this the part where you act like underground music doesn't exist and Founders is the ultimate trend setter?
You still didn't answer my original question. Why doesn't Kanye make tracks with producers like Porter or Madeon instead of 'lesser known artists'?
This is the part where I tell you that you swing off the balls of a festival with an H&M clothing line. Whatever "underground" is, you sure as hell ain't into.
As far as your OG question goes, I don't know, I don't hang out with Kanye West. Stick it in a letter that he'll never read. Or just come up with some bullshit answer on your own, and pretend like its right, like I am sure you are about to do.

I will try to answer, Pad, yes.
My guess would be Kanye wants to treat his audience to fresh, newer sounds. "The sounds of tomorrow", if you will. Now there's a catch to that. There is also an audience ahead of the curve actively seeking out new sounds on their own, long before an act like Kanye exposes them to it. Personally, new music inspires me to try new things in my own songwriting. It also evokes a feeling like never before which is why these kinds of acts can be such a benefit to mainstream artists. Underground music exists and normally transitions into something bigger. Electronic music is going through it's own renaissance at the moment which is why I find myself navigating through it all more than ever.

I got to "The sounds of tomorrow" and stopped reading. I dont care.
