[jburke]

So they came out with clue video....

a few things that come to mind initially are Nas, Animal Collective, and Wolf Parade.
What does everyone else think?

I also think Haim and Lotus.... Friend of mine said he heard Decemberists too but I don't see anything in the video....

It's a hard pass for me.

I will be putting my money and time off of work at Hinterland.

I'd say that 80/35 has about run it's course.

Wut? Run the Jewels was enough for me last year to say this festival can go ahead and stick around.

I hate these clue things they put out. Have they said when they will actually announce the lineup?

I think April 6th, but I don't know if they'll announce the full lineup all at once or **** around and release the lineup a few acts at a time.

Probably only release a few acts. Seems like in past years they haven't had all the acts booked at once.

That was the rumor two years ago; I think the full lineup then wasn't set until late May or early June. IIRC last year they had the full lineup announced by mid April.

I think since they moved it back a week and started partnering with Basilica Block Party on headliners.

Small amounts of optimism come over me as the Summerfest announcement comes out...
Ryan Adams - Plays 7/10 in Milwaukee
Garbage - 7/6 in Milwaukee
Decemberists - 7/7
St. Paul and the Broken Bones(I know they were at Hinterland last year but they ruled!!) - 7/8
Violent Femmes - 7/7
311 - 7/10
Milky Chance - 7/6
Brian Fallon - 7/1

So I have come around to Nas being an act this year. Lyrically one of the smoothest rappers of all time. Wednesday is the lineup announcement, I hope for good surprises, but am prepared to be disappointed. Always a good time either way.

Illmatic is an amazing album.

Illmatic is an amazing album.

Really hard to believe that came out 22 years ago.... Definitely agree, I did some sample listening to other tracks on newer albums, tremendously under appreciated artist imo...

Also forgot about the collabo album with Damian Marley, that is soo good!!!

 

[jburke]

Today is the announcement, any last minute guesses?

 

[Al_4_State]

That first post gave me no interest in this year's line up at all. Especially considering Hinterland's line up.

But I wouldn't say 80/35 has run it's course. Last year was awesome.

 

[jhutch1990]

Nas and The Decemberists to headline. I don't think I've heard of anyone on this lineup past the first line :/
