Do we know what location this festival is supposed to be at? I don't believe so. I've looked around on Reddit too to see if anyone's started a thread or had info on it and haven't found a single thing yet.

Purely speculation based on the info we have and the availability of bands, but here's my stab at the WonderBus top line
Nathaniel Rateliff-The Head and the Heart-Foals-Grouplove
Something like that

Prediction as of now:
Khalid, Sabrina Carpenter, Mac Demarco, Chromeo, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Hozier.
That's just based off new releases last week, touring schedules and trying to keep expectations low lol

I've let myself be letdown by these festivals way too much in the past few years haha. Note: i'd also like to add Robert Delong to my predictions earlier.

Any more details on this bad boy yet? Shockingly no one on reddit even made note of it, to any capacity. I don't think we have many Cleveland contacts in here do we? Figured maybe someone up there knows a little more about this production company outside of the fact they put on Laurelive.

Although admittedly out of the days they had it that was the one that least interested us. I remember the complaints about the "load your cash on the wristband" thing and the stage set up but also thinking it was more positive than what FMMF had been getting. In terms of a location, I feel like they'd be better suited to do something like this in Franklinton and spread out the stages around COSI and some of the streets and stuff where all of the other local festivals have their things. Obviously to a bigger scale, but that would be a cool place to do something like this maybe? I hope they get creative with it though and not the same thing everyone else has already been trying to do.

I have to imagine if someone could make a music festival that had a huge presence of Columbus local breweries and distilleries, pair it with tons of local art, and tons of local food truck, then pair it was big name artists it would sell out instantly as long as the location was large enough to easily hold people and in a location that isn't impossible to get to.

Lineup and location will both be revealed Tuesday, followed by an earlybird discounted ticket sale immediately following the release, not including VIP.

I checked their Instagram and they haven't followed any artists or anything like that yet. Not a lot of clues to anything thus far. I saw them respond and said vendor applications will be accepted shortly after the lineup comes out.
Edit: CD 102.5 follows them in Twitter, which is probably a good sign that it'll be the type of music that's on their station (and fingers crossed for no DJ Kahlid or something like that).

That's definitely a good sign. I think based on the genres they've given and based on what Laurelive offers, we can be optimistic in that regard. I think Bunbury's awkward mix of 90s rock, various hip hop artists that don't fit together and three incredibly random and underwhelming headliners, definitely opened up a window for a festival to put together a real alternative/indie lineup. It doesn't have to have the biggest names, as long as its delivers solid, well respected bands and the lineup is cohesive (unlike Bunbury) it will do well.

I asked my source about this the other day and they had not heard of it until about a week ago so I unfortunately have no details to give. I assume this means that no promowest venues will be used which does not comes as a surprise as no one was expecting them to.

I'm curious as to how much, if anything, the WonderBus camp knew about Bunbury's direction this year. I'd assume they started this project well before Bunbury's lineup dropped, but it may have just been in an exploratory phase then and they pulled the trigger when they saw what Bunbury dropped and the incredibly poor response it received. I don't know how long it takes festivals to book a full lineup but I would have to think they started earlier. However, 26 acts is far less than what Bunbury has.

So they probably started exploring this idea about this time last year.Same with Railbird. It was announced that Sloss would not return back in October so that's probably when they officially decided to move forward with Railbird instead.

They just dropped a clue on instagram and said they would keep dropping them until the lineup on Tuesday. The first one is what looks like upside down flowers, which would definitely seem to indicate Andrew McMahon and the Wilderness. If thats the case then we are off to a really good start!
Looks like he has a show that Friday in Michigan and nothing else that weekend so he would definitely be able to make it.

New clue: four leaf clover or flower and money. Someone on instagram guessed Flora Cash which definitely feels like a good guess!
They are playing woodstock that weekend so proximity lines up and they are touring with lovely the band, which I would think makes them a possibility as well for Wonderbus

Just saw these posts. If those clues are on point, than this is a very promising start. I dig Flora Cash and Andrew McMahon is a great festival staple that puts on such a great show. Lovelytheband would be a great pickup as well. Still holding out hope for Grouplove. They'd seem to fit with the clues so far

There is still an “alt nation” festival void, we thought Bunbury was trending towards (but now clearly isnt) and Forecastle is kind of now covering, that ppl would definitly gravitate towards

If this festival looks anything like what Bunbury did last year (not TOO similar hopefully) I'll be in. I think that sort of lineup will draw exceptionally well. Hell, Bunbury sold out with it last year and I think the strong, alt rock undercard had a lot to do with it

These clues so far are making me very happy. Mostly because they are very consistent. Slight differences in genre, yes, but they all fit together and they are giving a clear picture of what the lineup will (hopefully) look like. Bunbury's clues were ALL OVER the maps this year, going from PPP, to Poppy, to MGK, to Clutch....We really couldn't get a feel for what to expect and the clues honestly gave us more questions than answers.
This festival looks like it could be one that will sell itself from the bottom up. I genuinely like all three of these acts, a few more good ones and I'm in, regardless of the headliners.

I’ve noticed the second and third clue eluded to the name of the band while the first one theoretically didn’t. So I hope we aren’t wrong about Andrew McMahon, but still feels like the absolute best answer for what the clue is!
