I totally expect MJ Lenderman to be on the bike stage, not sure why that would be an issue. Using that Spotify metric he would have been the 3rd or 4th highest listens artist on the bike stage last year.

i mean putting aside how silly of a statement this is (don't think a single one of those bike stage ppl had the acclaim that MJ Lenderman's last two records received), the simple fact that Wednesday plays in South Carolina the next day means they're almost certainly playing early in the day and then leaving immediately since that's about a 16 hour trip
anything is possible i guess but this seems pretty outside the realm of reasonableness

I mean showing up on Friday doesn’t really seem to be pushing the limits of reasonableness considering they have zero other shows that week?

huh? Wednesday is playing NFF on Friday. They have a show the very next day in South Carolina. That means they're probably playing early in the day on Friday and then leaving - i.e., MJ Lenderman isn't going to have the whole band sit around for a few hours so he can do a Bike Stage set at 4:00 p.m. or whatever. Again it's technically possible, just doesn't seem probable. (For a number of reasons.)

I misread the dates and thought they were playing Saturday, but it still doesn't seem unreasonable for a Bike stage set. Pretty sure they started at 10:30 am last year. He can find the time if he wants. Also seems like a pretty decent chance they're flying in and out based on their schedule, which could easily happen Saturday morning. But time will tell.

It just feels like Jay likes to put fuzzy rock sets early in the day in a tent. I could be wrong but isn’t the bike stage typically solo acoustic acts with very minimal set up? It’s more of a logistical issue to me than it is a “Spotify streamer count” issue

It definitely wouldn’t be the full band. I didn’t realize how rare his solo acoustic shows are, but he definitely has played solo and done duo shows with Karly from Wednesday as well. Probably not what people want but still cool.
What are we thinking/hoping for the last announcement?
I've jumped on the Fiona hope-train, but fully expecting another underwhelming announcement in her place. At this point, I'm thoroughly disappointed, a little annoyed and quite frankly confused. Serious questions: (1) who is this festival for these days and (2) why aren't more legit bands champing at the bit to be part of it (and don't cite the money excuse because that didn't stop them from putting together stellar lineups in the not-so-distant past)? It seems like tons of people are pumped for this lineup, but I just find it...boring. If it wasn't NFF, I would've put my tickets back on Dice a while ago.

I don’t know, I kind of think it’s the Avett Brothers. They have a convenient spot, and they have a musical coming out? I want the Flaming Lips, but they don’t feel like a Sunday closer at all.

The Avett Brothers or Black Keys make sense to me. I would be underwhelmed by both - more so Avett's since they've played multiple times in the last decade but that seems to be the theme this year. My hope for Fiona died with today's announcement.
Upcoming Shows: August 7: Green Day/Smashing Pumpkins/Rancid/The Linda Lindas August 30: Waxahatchee/Snail Mail/Tim Heidecker September 17: Pearl Jam/Glen Hansard September 24: Idles/English Teacher

For question 2, I think bands are getting sick of festivals, and the rich history of Newport only goes so far. The pitch of "come play this festival that (historic thing happened at) pitch worked for a long time but it only works for so long. I think the well is running a little dry, the pandemic re-shaped the music industry, and Jay's magic might have worn off a bit. It's fine, we can say "I was there when..." and also hold out for the comeback!
Here's what I got for Friday, putting 5 acts on the Fort stage
Fort: Medicine Singers – Sir Woman – Allison Russell – Black Pumas - Hozier Quad: Buck Meek -- Petey – Wednesday – MUNA – Molly Tuttle - Adrianne Lenker Harbor: Steve Poltz – Billie Marten – William Prince - Erin, Mat & Paul – Shovels & Rope - Guster
I could see Molly Tuttle close out Harbor or Quad. A day or two after Newport announced her they posted a cryptic story that may have hinted at a surprise attached to her set.

Illiterate Light plays the bike stage (I think at least, it is theirs) and they’re a little “fuzzy,” no?

I’m going to throw a Hail Mary here…
Beck w/ Orchestra
Although I’m not sure he’d two back-to-back nights on this tour, especially if he needs to rehearse with the orchestra. Plus there’s already a Mass date.

Yeah, and VA to RI then NY is a weird move. But it could be cool!

Okay, so are we thinking the Sunday closer will be announced tomorrow, or on Friday with No Ultra’s replacement tomorrow? Doesn’t ending on a Thursday seem weird? They could have, say, transitioned from 2 to 3 a week later to have it end on a Friday. That said, they couldn’t have known she’d drop out…?

Bike stage tomorrow and problem solved. If it needs to perfectly end on a Friday. I don’t feel like it needs to though.

Or bike stage tomorrow and announce the replacement Friday and keep Sunday a big mystery too..

If playing with a local symphony or orchestra, wouldn’t be too hard for just Beck to get to Newport.

Kind of, but it’s a 2 piece band. I think the idea of MJ and Karly playing an acoustic set is possible
