To answer an earlier question that was posted some pages back, their biggest lineup was ~63 bands, so they have room for about 12 more if they were to match it. It seems a lot like that year's lineup too, more bands, but weaker undercard imo. Last year there was barely an undercard, but only ~51 bands.
And those are just the ones I haven't seen! The Shins, Bassnectar, The Roots, Passion Pit, Galactic, Grouplove, Moon Taxi, and twenty one pilots are all bands that I know bring it live too. I wouldn't mind seeing Tom Petty too, but since he's gonna be at Roo too, I might skip him. They have others on during HL'ers right? Hopefully they put Bassnectar on at the same time. I'm gonna try to get some friends to go, volunteer, and get a cheap hotel. College kids can only afford so many fests.
They only had an act on another stage during Jack White (STS9) and RHCP (Shpongle) last year. DMB (the sunday headliner which is what Petty will most likely be) went unopposed.
My guess is that Bassnectar will play Friday night opposing Kings of Leon with Petty playing Saturday night opposing somebody nobody's ever heard of.

Tom Petty is probably closing this biitch out unopposed, babe. And on a technicality KoL qualifies as the saturday rock headliner. None of the other big EDM acts have opposed the headliners the previous two years, but it could happen. I think Kendrick Lamar will oppose one of the headliners. He seems perfect to close that da xborx tent.
I'm just hoping the 3rd headliner comes way out of left field and surprises everyone. Fck Mumford n Sons, GNR. There are very select few names that could really save this fest, Further, Outkast, Incubus to name some. Personally i wouldnt mind the Black Keys one bit
lol @ Incubus. Black Keys ain't happening for like the 10th time. Jazzfest don't like to share their headliners.
After absorbing the lineup, it's pretty solid and well-rounded. Nice to see some quality rap acts for a change. The EDM looks solid and not overwhelming, which is a good thing. Jim James! Some pretty interesting acts such as Bloc Party, Dirty Projectors, and Lissie. The bottom four lines are filled with bands that seem talented from a quick listen. Brassft Punk has potential to be good. There is that big turd sitting at the top middle of the lineup but I've never seen Petty, so I like that. The lineup looks pretty navigable with my kids, too.

There's still nothing to suggest that righteousfront knows a damn thing. Here's what he wrote:
An act from Vermont, an act from Britain, a surprise revival of an early-mid 90's "rock" band who none of y'all have mentioned yet, a famous offspring of a famous Caribbean islander, and a lead singerless lead guitarless rebranding of a classic mainstay in psychedelia.
The last one is obviously Furthur, who isn't on the lineup. But we also don't have a "surprise revival of an early-mid 90's" band, either. The Black Crowes are hardly a surprise, since they've reunited before and even played Hangout in 2010. Not to mention the fact that they've had dates scheduled for a long time, and they were mentioned in this thread already.
Who's the famous offspring? Who's the act from Britain...Ellie Goulding, all the way down on the 4th line? The only one that came true was TAB, and he was probably suggesting Phish anyway.
That guy was just guessing. Don't read anything into it.
Staying at Island Winds West, which is about 20 yards from the front gate, going west into Gulf Shores. It was super convienent last year. And if we got tired, we could hear the main stage fine from our balcony.

We're staying at the Island Sunrise, which I guess is also pretty close. It's on the opposite side of the fest from some of the other condos, from maps I've seen. I'm hoping it's a money spot.

We stayed in Island Sunrise 565 in 2011. You'll have a great time. We're in Island Shores this year; pretty much the same building, I don't really understand the difference.
merkaba, when you hit the quote button, you can start typing shiz underneath all that text instead of making two posts every time you quote a sumbitch up in here.
^^^ Says the person with 4 posts lol. Nah, no hate, just reminds me of Blacklily or the 'Guys With A Bus'.
Excuse me? I'm not following you.
He's insinuating that you might try to do something terrible to me and that I shouldn't share a beer with you because you're new here. Blacklily or the 'Guys With A Bus' threads were pretty hilarious and fucked up threads that you should search for and read when you have a couple of hours to kill. Here's the blacklily one: inforoo.com/thread/29329/blacklily-shonda-lorraine-rose-young not sure where the Guys With A Bus one is

Thanks for the explanation! The thread should be entertaining... brb
Anyone have any knowledge on who the 3rd headliner is?
wiiiiiiidespreeeehd paaaaaaanick is in the bag, babe. Didn't you see my post a few pages back? a friend of a friend clearly has inside info and we're getting Outkast'd'd'd'd.
I think Ginus already touched on this, but regarding the EDM acts during headliners, I think it is unlikely we get big name EDM artists playing during the headliners. As much as I would really, really like this to happen, I don't think it will. I think you are looking at Bassnectar in the Kaskade slot, up against TAB or something like that, maybe Steve Aoki in a similar position. I think the very best we could hope for is someone like Porter Robinson, but I think even he is too big. You have to look at past opposing acts for reference, acts like STS9 or Sphongle, all good stuff, but these are HOB NOLA type bands, they play small venues.
Bassnectar or Aoki during Kings of Leon would be so awesome though. Just don't think its going to happen.
