Then why is there so much anguish? If everyone knew the top 3 I feel as if it would have been clearly leaked by now
I don't know. Why did the firefly thread turn into a 400 page dumpster fire on here a few years back, when everyone had known about McCartney,Killers,and KoL for months too? I suppose people are impatient and want instant gratification.

A lot of ppl here know 3 out of the top 4 and have known for months. We don't know the last name because several acts turned it down, and the company is/was having trouble filling the slot.
Any insight into why so many turned it down? Contractual obligations? Timing just didn't line up?
Why haven't we given any consideration to Hologram Tupac? Clearly he's been sitting in a storage unit somewhere outside Indio since 2012. Goldenvoice has an inside track to booking him and it would check the "exclusive US festival appearance" box.

Well it's not easy booking Beyonce, and when that doesn't go through there are only so many options to fill that kind of void.
Been to every Firefly since 2012, and there aren't many combinations that would make me totally bail, but if we get something like the below I'm packing up and driving 16 hours to 'roo instead:
The Weeknd ~ Twenty One Pilots ~ Chance the Rapper ~ The Chainsmokers ~ The Lumineers
Am I missing something? I thought Launchpad said only 2 of 21P, Chance, and The Lumineers were right.
I assumed he meant headlining.
Gotcha. He didn't specify headlining vs. playing; hence the confusion. I think Chance is preferable to Childish Gambino for the 4th spot, but I would still be somewhat surprised considering that he's headlining Gov Ball.
Think you'd have to have Twenty One Pilots on Sunday. How many TOP fans would stick around all day Sunday for Pearl Jam?
Nah I think 21P will absolutely play Saturday. I'd look at it the other way and say those that don't like 21P would absolutely not stay for them on Sunday, whereas I think there would be more 21P fans that also would see Pearl Jam.

true, but you gotta remember PJ has almost always been the #1 requested HLer in the survey. they'll be extremely well received if they are on the lineup.
I would say they go to that format, since Chance opening up for Pearl Jam or Muse doesn't make any sense.
Someone on here mentioned that with Childish/Chance and TOP they could promote that night as a "graduation" night since all were deep in the undercard in past years. That idea makes sense.
Only thing holding that idea back is if they want to keep promoting an EDM act on the Main Stage as a headliner, but I those acts work better post headliner on the backyard stage. Let a true 4th headliner play late night main stage.
Although usually the #1 headliner, which in this case is Pearl Jam, plays Friday.

Fair points about Pearl Jam vs TOP. I just don't see the point in paying that much for Pearl Jam and then having them on Sunday. Maybe I just underestimate the TOP crowd.
