Yeah, Cake snuck in under the radar.
That one was kind've weird cuz i'm 99% sure they weren't in the scavenger hunt list,
but when Deluna readded the lineup to the mainpage, they were mysteriously on it.

That list still says "MANY MORE TO BE ANNOUNCE SOON"
and in the tweets it said, "complete lineup to be announced in next 2 to 3 weeks".

DeLuna Fest fans want Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Tom Petty

In looking at the results of GoPensacola.com's informal "who should DeLuna Fest get?" poll, one thing is clear: the overall strategy of focusing the lineup on indie and alternative rock acts is a good one, but the audience definitely wants to see more "star power."

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the two acts receiving far and away the most votes -- Red Hit Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam -- are alt-rock icons. They're followed by a music legend, Tom Petty, whose influence on alt-rock is indelible. (Don't believe us? Ask the Foo Fighters why they chose to cover "Breakdown" at the Hangout Fest a few weeks ago.)

The remainder of the Top 10 vote-getters, with the exception of crossover country stars the Zac Brown Band, reads like a litany of the most successful and buzzworthy alternative and indie acts of the past two decades.

The poll results:

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers: 55%

2. Pearl Jam: 49%

3. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers: 47%

4. Incubus: 36%

5. The Killers: 34%

6. Zac Brown Band: 33%

7. Cake: 26%

8. Modest Mouse: 26%

9. Mumford & Sons: 26%

10. 311: 26%

11. Duran Duran: 23%

12. Queens of the Stone Age: 22%

13. Arcade Fire: 21%

14. Miranda Lambert: 20%

15. The Strokes: 18%

16. Florence + the Machine: 18%

17. Ben Harper: 18%

18. Michael Franti & Spearhead: 15%

19. Franz Ferdinand: 13%

20. The Decemberists: 13%

21. Neon Trees: 13%

22. The Shins: 11%

23. Girl Talk: 10%

24. Moby: 10%

25. Bassnectar: 9%

26. Deadmau5: 9%

27. Wiz Khalifa: 9%

28. Interpol: 7%

29. Sleigh Bells: 7%

30. Skrillex: 4%

31. A-Trak: 1%

Note that respondents were allowed to choose more than one act, and even had the opportunity to vote for ALL of the listed acts. Among the listed acts were several artists that were presented to GoPensacola.com by festival organizers as real possibilities for the October bill, but we cannot tell you which acts those are.

Other acts suggested by fans on GoPensacola.com and on GoPensacola.com's Facebook page included Wu Tang Clan, Beck, the Avett Brothers, 30 Seconds to Mars, the Black Keys, the String Cheese Incident, STS9, Widespread Panic, Phish, Further, Cage the Elephant, 3OH!3, Eminem, Kid Rock, They Might Be Giants, Dinosaur Jr., Coldplay, Stevie Nicks, REO Speedwagon, Peter Frampton, Elton John, AC/DC, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Keller Williams, ABB, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, the Flaming Lips, Yo La Tengo, Woods, Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes.

While alt- and indie-rock dominated the possible poll responses, offerings in country, jam band, hip-hop, electronic and other genres received far less enthusiastic responses and were not frequent suggestions among those volunteering their favorite acts.

PS - REALLY sad that Duran Duran garners 23% of the vote and Miranda Lambert 20%, and yet the pioneers of Alt-Rock, THE PIXIES are pathetically absent.
