If my source is accurate about even half the lineup they gave me, they won't need to push single-day tickets. I can second that if what I've been told this morning is true. Before I give out this info, I want to reiterate that things change every often and these last few weeks before the lineup are a whirlwind of add/drops. I only have info on the headliners right now, absolutely no clue about any under cards and I am still NOT buying a ticket until I see that finalized poster on January 30th. DO NOT buying a early ticket based on this info as it's possible that things can change.With that being said...I got info from my source just a bit ago...and they are about 99% sure that these are the headliners that have been locked in: -My Chemical Romance -Marshmello -Billie Eilish I really don't buy that Billie Eilish comes to Cincinnati for a night right between a show in Chile and a show in Colombia. As for Marshmello... I realize he's a big name, but that would be a letdown for me. It seems like the EDM acts really stick out like a sore thumb on the lineup every time they're here. |

She’s playing in Chile Friday and Colombia Sunday, so I guess she would be Saturday If she’s coming. Seems like a lot Of travel, but we’ll see. |

Coming through big time... Don't know much about Marshmello other than traveling to Red Rocks in Denver to see Ween last year we stayed in the same hotel with a bunch of fans who were in town for a Marshmello show. They were..... different... Not sure if that is a sampling of his fans in general but they definitely stuck out to me. My wife really likes Billie Eilish. I can take her or leave her but it may be the thing that pushes me to buy tickets this year. My Chemical Romance is what they is, so to speak. Pretty good get all in all. |

Based on tour dates that would mean: Friday: MCR Saturday: Billie Eilish Sunday: Marshmello I agree that Billie Eilish flying all the way back to Cincy for one night doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but definitely still possible I guess |

Wondering if Steve is willing to confirm whether this is the same info she was given now that it's out there?

Yeah I 100% find it really hard to believe the Billie Eilish card with her having to travel between Chile and Columbia. However, she had a massive tour and hit literally every state EXCEPT Ohio. As far as Marshmello, I really don't know anything about EDM but a few friends said he's fairly popular and accessible for the general public. |

We also have Marshmello playing in Romania on Friday night. Definitely not out of the realm of possibility, but does Bunbury really have enough pull to get several artists to fly across the world just to be here? Just seems sort of unlikely to me.

I also questioned Billie since she's in South America that weekend but it's not impossible. |

My source told me they spent literally four times as much as last year on booking. I'd spend 24 hours on a plane for a million+ dollars. |

And Billie Eilish is playing in South America the 5th and 7th, so that seems unlikely. Don't forget though, We had counted out The 1975 and Run the Jewels for similar reasons last year. |

Both working for 2 different companies and this is the lineup we were given. I definitely think the travel aspect is curious...but I guess we will see |

Well that sells my bonnaroo ticket for me. Sorry for anyone I confused with the false information I was given. I personally think those 3 are a huge letdown for Bunbury, though I understand it’s probably opinion as I don’t care for any of the 3. Good for them on getting MCR though, should move some sales.

Makes me wonder if they could've gotten similar caliber acts for much cheaper if they didn't have to fly from halfway across the world haha but I'm not in the industry, so I don't really know much on the subject. |

Didn't The Chainsmokers play Bunbury and Las Vegas in the same night a couple years ago? or did that not end up happening? I can't remember for sure.
But I'm guessing if they can pull that off, Marshello can pull off flying from Romania to play two days later.

Yeah so I was under the impression it’d be MCR, Lizzo, and The Smashing Pumpkins. Maybe they can fit the Pumpkins under MCR and Lizzo under Billie and I wasn’t completely lied to, but I was told they were headlining so take the names at all with a grain of salt.

Objectivity, it's a way better lineup than last year. I'm indifferent to both Marshmello and Billie - haven't heard anything good about Billie's live performance but her music is interesting if not my taste. I'm really hoping the undercard doesn't suffer due to spending a ton on headliners. However, I absolutely do not care about who else is on the lineup because MCR seals it for me. That band and their music have been a lifeline for me more than once, and basically all of the important people in my life, I met through Fall Out Boy or MCR because we were fans. Between last year and this year, I've gotten the chance to have reunions with so many people I care about. I'll have a house full of visitors again in June. |

I hope and assume you’ll have the time of your life out there then! Your MCR would have to be my Tame Impala in this case. My top 5 on Spotify of 2019 is playing Roo and those 3 had no streaming time from me so, you can see why the decision for me is easy. |

Honestly though, if they really spent 4x on booking like Steve said, adding Lizzo and Pumpkins to the lineup to round out the "top 5" makes sense to me I'd love to see Lizzo. She's definitely got the fanbase here, as we saw at her US Bank Arena show. There was a ton of criticism about Bonnaroo billing her that high on basically 2 hit songs, just to have a female up there, so top-5 billing makes sense. And MCR, especially their lead singer, are huge Smashing Pumpkins fans and it seems to be mutual so they'd probably be down to play the same festival if they knew anything about the rest of the lineup. |

I remember initially being a little disappointed that the headliners weren't as big as years past, then the more I looked at the rest of the lineup, the more excited I got. |

Seeing Lizzo and Billie on top five would be a huge victory on a more gender-balanced lineup. |

I just want these damn hive hints to come out to see if we can lock any of these leaks down! I think it really depends on when Lizzo was booked. Remember this last year she was originally booked for cheap at Madison Theater before catapulting to fame and moving to US Bank, and if I remember correctly, Whitney's source said Bunbury started hustling early to get this year booked. Could be similar to Bunbury grabbing Post Malone right before he took off. My source said nothing about TSP or Lizzo, to be clear. Only undercard he confirmed was our yearly 90s nostalgia rock act. |
