Live Nation now controls Bowery Ballroom and Mercury Lounge, wonder if any after-shows will now be at those venues.
According to Billboard, they'll be collaborating with Founders, so I'd say probably.
Also this basically separates Live Nation and AEG/Bowery by Manhattan and Brooklyn. I think T5 is the only Bowery venue in Manhattan now until Webster reopens
Good point. Strange that the flagship venue of Bowery Presents (Bowery Ballroom) is now no longer controlled by them. Also, I imagine WH won't really be back in action until late 2019/2020. Once the L train shuts down for construction, I'm guessing a lot of the shows you usually will find at BK Steel will be at WH, otherwise going to be a nightmare getting over to that place.
Not that I think the lineup is coming today, but why exactly would they have to wait on Coachella?
Came in here to say the same thing. With the festival saturation that the U.S. now has, there is literally no reason to hold off on releasing your lineup as that's a way to ensure more advance sales. With the exception of Coachella, no festival is bulletproof here.

Coachella has been rumored(?) to have clauses in contract that essentially say "we'll book you but no other fest you play can announce until we do", but only ever heard that for headliners
Facebook makes me think we may see the lineup today/tomorrow
I would not be surprised to see it announced tomorrow (I believe they've done Tuesdays in the past?).. was it just the event being made on FB that made you think that?

For some reason, I don't see GB and Coachella sharing any headliners this year. The last time they did was 2015.

The bookers of Gov Ball said as much in reddit AMA a few years ago. Coachella has until a certain embargo date to announce their lineup. If they go past the date like in 2013 when they were trying to book a final headliner then other fests can announce before Coachella.

ah that's where it's from! I wouldn't be surprised if the LN backing has allowed them to subvert that, especially if they are not sharing any headliners

Yeah... They seem to do stuff like that right before announcements. They reported the page the day before the clues
Launchy should play the numbers game insider and infinitypass used to do.
Arcade Fire Frank Ocean Pearl Jam Kendrick Lamar Vampire Weekend Lana Del Ray Green Day
I second this
My guesses (which I have absolutely zero insider information about):
Arcade Fire - Likely considering they only did one night at MSG in Sep (compared to their 3 nights at Barclays in 2014) so maybe that was an effort not to over-saturate demand though that one show didn't even sell out. Frank Ocean - Seems kind of doubtful considering he just headlined Panorama Pearl Jam - I know Founders has been going after them for years though they've played the city a number of times in recent years (2x Barclays in 2013, Global Citizen's in 2015, 2x MSG in 2016) and don't seem to have any new material cooking. Kendrick Lamar - Seems likely as well Vampire Weekend - They don't seem to be done with their record so I'd be surprised if they'd be ready to perform by June but could use it as a preview type show Lana Del Ray - Seems unlikely considering she's playing Newark in January (and it's not selling particularly well from what I gather). Green Day - As much as I would love this, seems like they won't be active in 2018 as their IG indicated their dates in Mexico were the last of the Revolution Radio tour
