Icing on the cake. I'm so into this lineup it's not even funny.
As usual I don't know most of it.
I'd start with Art Ensemble of Chicago, Harold Budd, Mercury Rev, Nik Bärtsch: RONIN, and like KPO says, Lonnie Hollie ( and LH + The Messthetics). This is on top of what has been announced.

BTW - for the record I was 100% correct on my single line-up prediction: Nief-Norf. I’ll never reveal the secret formula for my successful call. Never.

I need to study the other names in the lineup. Any suggestions are welcomed!

At least 20 names I'm familiar with, and haven't seen (mostly). I'm 80% in.

The first thing that jumps at me is DeJohnette Coltrane Garrison. Jack DeJohnette played on Bitches Brew (if I'm not mistaken) and the Coltrane is Ravi.
Harold Budd (recommendations: the paviion of dreams and the plateaux of mirrors)
If you enjoy The Comet is Coming from the initial lineup drops, Sons of Kemet is in a similar vein.
I guess this was a logical connection for me to make, as according to Wikipedia the saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings is a member of both groups. The more you know!
Also, I made a (possibly incomplete) playlist with one song from each performer if there's others out there who want to dig deeper on the lineup:

There's a lot of heavy hitters here, on the experimental jazz front, but one group I want to bring attention to is "Schlippenbach Trio." Alexander von Schlippenbach is an absolute monster pianist, and has been releasing brilliant free jazz albums since the late 60s. For me, this is one of the biggest adds to the festival this year... I'm floored that I'm finally going to be able to see him live.
