I don't really get the headliner situation at all. Who is going last on Friday? The Chainsmokers or Blink-182? I would think Blink since they repeatedly sell out 20K seat venues themselves. And what the hell is Incubus doing as a headliner? I can only hope that means they're going to add a closer for Saturday. Yeah the whole incubus headliner on Saturday really threw me off. Looking at their past tours, they've played large Ohio venues in the recent past...maybe they're bigger than we give them credit for? 2017 Blossom Riverbend 2015 Riverbend Jacobs Pavilion (smaller) 2012 Riverbend Rock on the Range

I saw Incubus at Riverbed several years ago, and they fucking rocked it. I think they will be a good headliner, even if it was unexpected.

Portugal. The Man are in Columbus at Express Live on May 20th and Pittsburgh (Stage AE) on May 22nd, both of which are affiliated with Promowest. Then they have no concerts listed from May 26th to June 14th on their webstite? Just my 2 cents but that seems like it might be a good pick given that they would fit the schedule and "theme" for Saturday. Lets see if they pull off another surprise like deadmau5?

Incubus is big but not headliner big but also who hasn't seen either Blink/Incubus/3EB/Chain within the last year? these were all big tours last year so I have a hard time justifying the amount for a 3 day when this is such a lineup of yesteryear. bring in someone exciting plz....

They would be a great addition, but I just can't see why they wouldn't have been announced with the rest of the lineup. Schedule is open. Like you said, already have Promowest shows lined up and announced. It just seems like it would be an easy lock up. Usually late additions are caused by ironing out the contract or waiting for the artist to announce something before the festival announces.

Either way, I'm seeing P.TM. Already got my tickets. Same, I don't see why people care to see bands at fests that are already touring? Fest are cool and unique but Bunbury has outrageously ridiculous set times so is it really where you want to see PTM and all these other bands on tour you can see literally anywhere else with a much better set? I'm more excited for artists like Allan Rayman, Two Feet (even though I just saw him on tour lol), Sir Sly, Manchester Orchestra, Gang Of Youths, Bishop Briggs, etc. I hate that fest are just several tour all merged together. BORING!

BORING! Because there is only so much time and money available for concerts. I've got an Events Calendar I keep up to date of things I'm interested in that is currently number in the 20s. And for the most part that's all in the next six months. I have to pick and choose which ones I want to go to. If I can cross one of those bands off my list by seeing them at a festival that I'm already planning on going to, then that opens the door for another show I want to see.

BORING! Seems like most of the guests recently are just belligerent, but here are the main reasons I go to a festival: 1) Spend a weekend outside relaxing and hanging out with friends in a new place 2) Drinking before noon 3) Getting to see a lot of bands I have never heard of 4) Getting to see bands that I listen to but don't necessarily want to go to a tour show (i.e. Magic Giant, Bishop Briggs, Dropkick Murphys, Coheed and Cambria, Sir Sly) 5) Relive some of my favorite artists in a smaller set (Andrew McMahon, Manchester Orchestra, Third Eye Blind, Front Bottoms) after I have already seen them in a whole performance aspect. Even in 2017, I had a blast at Bunbury even though I did not know any of the artists playing Saturday. People are losing their damn minds acting like Promowest is out to ruin their lives because one artist is/isn't there. No one is forcing you to attend

has nothing to do with "the guests" it's the basics that people like you go to chill and hangout and drink when at the expense of audiences who like real live music and concerts. like go away such children! festivals are all about money now and increasingly less about booking good acts. compare any american lineup to europe lineup NOT EVEN COMPARABLE. this is attributed 100% to people who have extra money laying around that want to "drink before noon" and catch some free shows you wouldn't normally bother paying for. ridiculous. go to the carnival plz and leave music where it belongs.

Sounds like you should fly to Europe to hang out with these credible festival goers and leave us plebs in the states alone to our own ruination. Without casual festival attendees, these festivals would fold and your precious music scene would become even more sparse. Also, drinking before noon is a wonderful reason for any event. I'm very much looking forward to this years's festival, even though I have little interest in any of the headliners.

Why would someone seek out msg boards strictly to take a dump all over the main subject of the board? And if you are doing so, why not take the time to create an account since you are so interested in the subject matter?

To summarize a Chuck Klosterman essay from the book "Sex, Drugs, And Cocoa Puffs", The internet was invented for porn and every breakthrough in internet technology has been to make porn easier, faster, more clear, and more accessible. Everything else we've gotten is just a happy byproduct of man's yearning to see boobs.

I think it's really weird that in their Facebook promos the Saturday headliner is listed 5th. I don't want to get my hopes up that they will have a late add like they did with Deadmau5 a few years ago, but it really seems odd to have your Saturday night main act listed 5th.

I'm not getting my hopes up at all because I feel like it would have already happened but it does seem odd they chose the act that far on the list to be a the Saturday Headliner. But maybe something changed schedule wise. I think it's weird the Chainsmokers have a Friday and Sunday show in Vegas that weekend and chose to play at Bunbury before hightailing it to Vegas to do another show there instead of coming in on Saturday and headlining that day then flying back to Vegas to do the show on Sunday.

How do they honestly expect to play two shows in one day? Their Friday show in Vegas starts at 10:30pm Pacific Time. If they were to play Bunbury at 9-10pm Eastern, this would mean they have to get to the airport, fly to vegas, get to next show within 3 hours and 30 minutes. Regardless of equipment, just physically getting there seems next to impossible

And i believe those sets usually go to 11. The logistics of this seem pretty terrible.

It really just looks odd that that band is also incubus. Just looking at the daily lineup poster that name standing alone looks really strange. I think bunbury has always been pretty weak on saturday for whatever reason.

The average in air time for a flight from Cincinnati to Las Vegas is 3 hours and 16 minutes per the site Travelmath.
It really does seem impossible. Even if they ended as early as 10:00. I'm sure they would have a private jet to ensure that they got there.
Also seeing that they play this night club so often, they may have different equipment that they leave there so they don't have to pack up and reset up everything.
I can see ways to make it work, but it just seems like so much trouble and so many things could go wrong. I looked and XS Nightclub is still selling tickets for them though.

I would imagine they make Bunbury provide them with the proper set up or they have a traveling rig that they use. The nightclub is just a straight up DJ set so I'm sure they just use everything they have there. The logistics are horrible to the point that one of their main headliners will go on before the actual headlining set most likely and there is certainly a possibility they could absolutely mail it in too if they are staying to a strict time and need to run off the stage to an airport and get back to Vegas. I have no idea why anyone would ever book that schedule honestly. (I say that from an artist/manager standpoint)

Why would an artist/manager every agree to play two shows the same night on opposite sides of the country? I kinda of have a feeling that it'll go down like this 7-8:30 : Chainsmokers - Main Stage 8:30-9:30 : Young The Giant / Royal Blood - Sawyer Point Stage 9:30-11 : Blink-182 - Main Stage

I was about to have a big long post about how big of a swing and a miss it would be for them to have a headliner perform in an opener slot. But now thinking about it. That's exactly why they put Blink and the Chainsmokers on Friday night and Saturday looks weak. They know Chainsmokers need to leave early so they put them on the mainstage and then say there are 2 that night and have Blink play after them but they are both billed as headliners. Obviously not ideal at all because it makes Saturday look weird but that's probably what they are stuck with.

It's almost like they listed it like that to have an easy cop out if one of the artist bails. Just a thought?
