If WSP is seriously headlining, let alone 2 or 3 sets, I will be beyond pissed off. They just headlined in 2011! Not to mention that even fans of the jam scene aren't even that fond of WSP...I mean seriously, who really likes them?

YMSB is 8th billed at Waka, which is a smaller festival than Hangout with a heavier jam focus. They would be a 10-15 act at Hangout.
I personally don't think they would give any band two sets over two nights. If they give a jam band 2 sets on the same day (like SCI last year), it's probably because there isn't a jam headliner in the top 3, or the third billed headliner is a bit soft. It's a way to assure the jam band fans that someone like TAB or Phil Lesh isn't getting shoved into a 1.5hr slot, and it basically adds a 4th name to the top line.

Yeah they sell out shows in the south all the time, they are pretty popular. Plus the new light set up looks pretty damn sweet.
Does any other fest not post their lineup on Tue? Pulling for Noon.
Coachella's came out on Thursday this year.
And similar to this year's Coachella, it sounds like they are just waiting on a signature. The radio stations are saying Wednesday. Don't get your hopes up for anything before that.
It's kind of irritating that Hangout has kept us so in the dark this year. All we've gotten is one video posted to their FB page last week stating that the lineup was coming "next week". Well we're well into "next week" and haven't heard a thing officially. They haven't even sent out any official emails regarding the lineup yet...at least none that I have received. Seems to me like they are really in bad shape scrambling...I hope this doesn't end up being a dud year. My anticipation level is through the roof for this year since I missed last year. 2011 was a damn blast.

YMSB is awesome but the best show of theirs I ever went to was at an old theater that was packed out with about 250 people they are good but not Headliner material IMO.

All you WSP haters can suck one! They have been touring for over 25yrs now and hold the record for sell outs at both Red Rocks Amphitheater in CO and the Fox Theater in Atlanta. They get down and so do the people that follow them. While they are great songwriters they are the greatest cover band of all time and Jimmy Hearing alone is one of the greatest guitar player of all time.

The longer they make us wait, the more people will begin to feel like you. Communication is vital, and the lack of it is concerning.

To be honest Im really not all that upset McCartney isn't going to be there maybe without him they have the money to bring in multiple good bands to fill the void. I guess I'm one of those weird ones who judges a lineup bases on the whole thing from top to bottom not just the first two lines although they are important. I want to be able to get down to some good tunes all day not just the last act of the night.
Also I have been streaming 92zew online last night and this morning and they sure have been playing a noticeable amount of Pearl Jam and trust me they stick out when every other song they play is Adele, Cake, or some pop artist
i saw PJ this past september at Music Midtown; literally the most depressing, sad, politically charged, bogus, abrasive concert ive been to. if they do get booked, you will find me at another stage

Gophish - I agree that both moe. and YMSB have big followings but that doesn't mean they are headliner material. Someone above made a good point that they are billed 8th at Waka. I also don't think its fair to compare YMSB to SCI. SCI is a way bigger band with a much larger following, not to mention a much more talented band IMO. They kind of play similar music but not really. SCI's catalog is way more diverse incorporating elements of funk, jazz, reggae, trance along with the bluegrass that billy brings to the table.

You can bad mouth me, you can bad mouth my mother, but no one bad mouths WSP!

Pearl Jam is a no-go since Matt Cameron will be touring with Soundgarden at the time. This has been stated time and time again. Eddie Vedder with his ukelele may be a possibility though.
