Of course they put out a clue right after I complained haha! I'm telling you guys, something is going on regarding the lineup over at Promowest. Once whatever is happening blows over, I should be able to get details from my source. Still radio silence from them so far. I'm really getting the impression that MCR was booked and backed out. And I'm really hoping that's not the case. But as rough that would be to deal with, Promowest has dealt with last minute changes and even last minute headliner changes before. It's bizarre to me that they're on lockdown about it. Something else must be going on. |

Based on what I've been told in the past, the lineup changes A LOT before it's finally announced. |

I still had loads of fun last year. 🤷🏻♂️
Those headliners >> the possibility of Eyelash, Marshmallough, and surpriseguest.

Does anyone think we'll get more frequent hive hints this week to make up for the odd gap, or are those just skipped and it'll still be every other day?
I'm guessing we just get fewer hints this year, personally.

No idea who "The Growlers" are, but they just announced a stop in Columbus on June 9th. Could possibly have them at Bunbury??

Still radio silence from them so far. This festival can't seriously be having booking issues again. I am still hopeful for the best, but man it seems like there is potential for some serious booking issues. With people speculating MCR backing out and the Billie Eilish scheduling issue, if one or both of these fall through it has to be a nightmare for Promowest. The release party is 8 days away, radio silence from sources, and hive hints being much more sporadic/scarce than previous years. It makes me think something is up or they are scrambling to sure things up. Not that I am in love with any of the rumored headliners, but it would seem like another big letdown if these were in fact the headliners and one backed out/was not replaced in time for the release. |

I honestly think there's a decent chance we'll see an admat with one top-five artist "covered up" to be announced later. |

In 2016 it looked like we had the lineup with a much lesser 3rd headliner and then they announced Deamau5 a little bit later. My guess is the same type of thing happened and they just played it off like a really big addition to the lineup instead of a fill in. |

After we were given the same acts from different sources, Whitney and I were both told things are weird at Promowest and the speculation might not be accurate. I was tipped off that they might be leaking fake info to find whoever was leaking stuff. We're speculating but both got the feeling at least one headliner, probably MCR, dropped. |

Yeah what Steve said. Both of us have been getting radio silence and my source directly told me that things are weird at Promowest and they're going to lay low for a while until things blow over. I was not told what it was directly related to, but we speculate something is going on with the lineup/leak. |

Quick update: It's been 8 days since my source told me they were gonna stay quiet after something is going on at Promowest right now. I messaged my source again last night and still haven't gotten a response on anything. They were supposed to be with my group when we watched the jackets game last night but they had to work late. Working late is unusual for them, so I still hold tight to thinking there's been a lineup change they're working on settling.

I’m just nervous as hell we’re going to see zero rock on the top two lines. I’ll be very tempted to scalp my VIP ticket and cancel my BnB if so.

If it's anything like the past few years, we should get a pretty strong tip about 1-2 days before the official announcement. That put's us at about 6 days until we have a pretty solid grasp on what we have. Patience young grasshopper! |
