Compared to last year, this looks very bland and uninspired imo
To be fair last year’s lineup was absurdly good. Biggest rock band - Biggest pop star(s) - Biggest rapper all with Bon Iver and Hans Zimmer and a ton of other amazing artists. I remember being disappointed when the 2016 headliners leaked and then the undercard more than made up for it
Last year had pretty much every touring artist I wanted to see in 2017 on the lineup.
I doubt Jamiroquai will be all that hard to catch either. They've already played everywhere else, US tour dates seem imminent.
If you have your heart set at seeing them in a festival setting maybe.
They don't play the U.S. because they don't have a fanbase here to support their asking price or egos.
Probably the only way they play the U.S. is a fest like Coachella for Day for Night throwing them a bunch of money, putting them high on the poster, and being cool when not a ton of people show up. Maybe they play a handful of shows in NY, SF, and Chicago around it, but it's not like they're going to be at 20 fests and touring for six months.
Let's not start discrediting great bookings before they even happen lol

This rumor/leak season has been pretty slow, but in a way it makes it more exciting if the lineup comes out with a bunch of awesome acts that weren't widely known beforehand. The last time something like that happened for Coachella was 2013 IIRC.

I don't disagree with any of that. I like Jamiroquai a lot. Stoked to finally cross them off the list. I don't think I will have to go to Coachella in order to do that. I am sure you'll have a great time if you are though.

Eh, I think it's going to end up being fairly anti-climactic but I could be wrong. Headliners of Beyonce, The Weeknd, and [Rock Band X who seemed obvious in retrospect]. I'm thinking 6-8 second line rock/indie acts of which message board rumors are saying Fleet Foxes and QOTSA are in and HAIM, Grizzly Bear, and War on Drugs look fairly likely... so let's say we get one surprise (Jamiroquai actually happening, D'Angelo, Judas Priest, etc.), and maybe 1-2 more of the following (Arctic Monkeys, Alabama Shakes, National, St. Vincent, YYYs, etc.).
Round out the second line with EDM and the R&B/hip hop stuff that seems likely (Tyler, Miguel, Khalid, etc.) and there's the top ~15-20 acts.
I would be satisfied if that all comes true but not too surprised - we will see though, just setting expectations low.
Soulwax just makes sense given their history with this fest and because they played all over Europe already. It would just be weird for them to not have played on this album cycle.

Good points all around. I'm expecting a lot of who you mentioned, but also hoping for some more off-the-wall bookings like Hans Zimmer and some good electronic music.

Orbital
I hope so. They'd make the most sense given their new material.

That was such a great lineup. Definitely my favorite of the years I've been
