Anyway, my guess is that they stay away from the crunchy shit Denver is already saturated with and toss up something for the #basics. Some cross between FF and Lolla.
Lots of smaller acts like Magic Beans, Air Dubai, Sunsquabi, Leftover Salmon, OneRepublic (I guess them and Salmon are bigger), Big Head Todd & The Monsters, India.Arie - that's all else that I have from there.

"For a point of reference, you could look to Lost Lake Festival, a brand new Superfly festival in Phoenix that would be similarly sized to the one in Denver. The Killers, Chance the Rapper, Major Lazer and ODESZA are headlining the festival’s first year."
"How much is this costing Superfly? Superfly would rent Overland Park golf course for $200,000, and pay $5,000 for every day they may need at the course over the 5-week period they’re allotted for set-up and tear-down. They’d also pay $90,000 to the Golf Enterprise Fund for landscaping work, and $25,000 to provide a golfer discount for displaced golfers to play at other city courses during the closure. Superfly would also pay for all of the city’s labor costs while it rents the park, such as rangers and maintenance staff. In exchange, the city would waive the expected expenses for police, fire and waste management, up to $200,000."
Gotta make sure Thad and Kyle and Stephen and Reginald are compensated for their missing links.
I still have never been to a music festival and had a bad time.
I ain't say I've had a bad time at festivals, but I'm looking for the extra hetty good times.
Bonnaroo 2009 vs. anything at a massive fest now just isn't gonna be the same (for me)
Voodoo 2009 vs. Voodoo 2017 is a great example. The early Hangouts vs. current ones. The lineups for today's festivals are homogenized and made to try to appeal to every possible money-spending demographic instead of having an actual identity.
That said, as I get older and grumpier I'm less willing to shell out chunks of cash for the same rehashed bullshit. I have a great time basically anywhere I go, but I'd rather go somewhere with an identity and a musical purpose i.e Day for Night. Actually felt like I was part of something cool there (same with Levitation '15) rather than corporate fests that track my comings and goings for marketing purposes and I'm hit with product placements every 50ft.

tl;dr= I hate lazy booking
Hullabalooza was lit. Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Cypress Hill (w/ Orchestra), Frampton (w/ Roger's pig), No Doubt, Homer.
I don't usually do anything in September. And I've always wanted to visit Denver. Big names, local scene which would mean trippy rock and jamtronica as well as, at least from what I've heard, a blowing up food culture... Definitely on the radar if Wakarusa doesn't come back next year.
Dead & Company - Foo Fighters - Chance the Rapper My Morning Jacket - Pretty Lights - String Cheese Incident Run the Jewels - Big Gigantic - Gramatik - Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats
Dead & Co. are a long shot, but if they want to make a splash with this festival, that'd be a pretty solid booking
Chance The Rapper - Lorde - Odesza The 1975 - Big Grizmatik - Snoop Dogg
If they're trying to get 30-40k people I don't think that'll do it.
I bet it does. Smaller city festivals have a pretty low bar because the level of commitment is low. Chance alone is probably better than a lot of these local festivals will get draw-wise. The headliners at FPSF (R.I.P.) here in Houston were Flume and Lorde. This would be better than that and that's all it really takes. I find it unlikely that they'd get more than one solid Big 4-type headliner like Dead and Foos. Maybe one. Maybe.

I was definitely shooting high, but if you compare it to this year's Boston Calling, which was about the same size in a similar-sized city, and add in that it's Superfly and that they're looking to expand it to 80k in subsequent years, it's not unreasonable to think they'd go for a couple big names.
