So far I have heard rumors/pure speculation of Black Keys :thumbup:, Lady Gaga. :thumbdown:, and Lorde

From r/Bonnaroo subreddit:

"Imagine Dragons: I can't guarantee we won't play either of those festivals, [talinkg about Bonnaroo and Sasquatch] but I think it's unlikely. As for Firefly Festival, however.... I'm not saying anything, but you may want to keep that date open."

The consensus on twitter/facebook for #4 is Fitz and The Tantrum cause one of their songs is 'Fools gold'.
I'm really hoping for Foo Fighters, but I don't think they would reveal a headliner, and I don't want to be let down when it's not Foo Fighters. lol

yeah i was looking at the firefly festival message boards they said the same thing. could also be Stone Roses (they have a song called Fools Gold as well), but Fitz & The Tantrums make more sense. I said Fatboy Slim cause of 0% Fat thing )

Long shot but the UFO maybe Xoldplay (hopefully not). i think they have a song called UFO. :-S

yeah, I got my info from the same board haha

just looked up Coldplay that would be better than some bands, but definitely not ideal... the air and space museum location doesn't factor into coldplay or foo fighters tho..

Wow, wasn't expecting them to announce the line-up already. With the exceptions of outkast, foo fighters, arctic monkeys (whom I already seen like 6-7 times), band of horses and a few others kinda disappointing. Might just go to one of the days.

Definitely some solid bands but spread out over 4 days I can't really see going down for the whole thing. I'll probably just pick a day if the schedule works out. I hate how they can't just announce the days like Jazz Fest today. Now THAT is a concert I would consider flying down to. Would love to hit Bourbon St.

FrankieG

I'm pumped! Gonna be a great festival! Now just gotta hope none of the sets overlap.


FOO FIGHTERS
CAGE THE ELEPHANT
WEEZER
ARTIC MONKEYS
THIRD EYE BLIND
TWENTY ONE PILOTS
AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT
JACK JOHNSON
IMAGINE DRAGONS
LUMINEERS
BAND OF HORSES
YOUNG THE GIANT

Surprised Jack Johnson is a headliner over Arctic Monkeys. I think Outkast is definitely número uno on my list to see for the first time of these bands. I need to catch them this time around one way or another.

Sadly, I just don't think Arctic Monkeys can draw crowds like Jack Johnson. They are a great band, just not a headliner. I don't really care for Jack Johnson, but clearly he is doing something right now still be booked as a headliner for major festivals.

On a side note. I saw Outcast for the Area One tour back in 2001. They were amazing. Glad to see them touring again!

See I am pretty sure the AM are way bigger than JJ. But obviously that is just overseas... They are wildly popular across the pond and their albums are all stellar. I enjoy JJ so I don't have a problem with it, just pointing it out as it seemed surprising.

Yeah, thats because overseas embrace rock a lot more. In the states the AM aren't normally booked at large venues, they often are openers for other bands (black keys a few years back). In a few weeks they are playing at the state theatre in Portland, ME. It sold out quickly, but its capacity is only about 1500 and a venue in Boston that is around 5000. They did sell out MSG, but the large population of NYC helps out with that.

If Jack Johnson toured the US again he would probably be booked at amphitheaters similar to what Pearl Jam would play on a summer tour.

That being said I do like the AM better than Jack Johnson. New album is fantastic. They deserve to be playing bigger venue in the US.

love the arctic monkeys, saw them in philly this past sept. and they were fantastic! I can see why JJ would be a headliner but i ain't too much of a fan of him. I think i'm gonna skip it this year again.
