Yeah I was fine with 2019 for the most part, honestly the 1975 was my least favorite part lol. That’s why I’ve been holding out hope for MCR/Smashing Pumpkins/[Rap Headliner].
oooo i’d love MCR *and* Smashing Pumpkins. I don’t see it happening though.
Are Black Keys a possibility this year? They’re an Ohio band and had been touring. 🤷🏻♂️
Their only date so far this year though is Shaky.
The Black Keys make a lot of sense. As you said, an Ohio band that's been touring, and they were a HUGE draw in 2015. Granted, their popularity has waned since then, but they could still easily headline and check the box of alternative rock headliner. They just feel like a band Promowest would bring back.
Well, best case scenario, the leaks dried up simply because the information given to us was accurate,a nd they're trying to do damage control. If they actually did spend 4 times the amount they did last year, we can expect something good. We also have reason to be optimistic due to the lineups of Gov Ball and Wonderstruck. There are some great bands on those lineups that we know will be nearby-ish that weekend. I'm hoping there's a great undercard, more like 2018 than last year. I would have gone last year if the undercard was like 2018, but it was just...weird.
I like this attitude. I think our leak was accurate since Whitney and I got the same acts (headliners + 90s nostalgia act) but the question is, did those acts change after we were given something?
My first thought when I heard the amount they spent was, "I hope some of that went to building an undercard, not just snagging big names to headline." Having a killer undercard was what sold Bunbury to me the couple of years before 2019.

Well with just 4 days before the lineup drops, let's throw out a quick public service announcement.
We generally get a lot of new names on here for the next few days and the majority and great additions, but often get a lot of trolls looking to trash the fest. Save yourself the time an energy and just don't respond to any blatantly negative comments looking to start a fight. You're just wasting your time.
If memory serves me right, we generally see a leak about 1-2 days before the reveal and it's always come from someone working at a local Cincy radio station.
Just be careful of any new accounts claiming to have a leak and don't get your hopes up. We all remember the "mike" situation a few years back haha

Long story short, Steve and I both have separate sources that confirmed MCR, Marshmello, and Billie Eilish and then Third Eye Blind in the undercard. We since have received nothing but silence from ours sources and Promowest is said to be on lockdown. No idea what's going on there but it appears they're upset about a leak but we can't confirm it yet.
same. The hints have been blegh anyway. I’ll take the crossword.
New to Bunbury - what is this crossword and are there clues to complete it? Or is it just a tease?
Generally around lunch time on the day of the lineup reveal, they send out a word search puzzle that contains most/all of the artists on the lineup. Looks like this:

Hey guys! The silence from my source has been broken. I just asked what the hell is going on with the hive hints and my source responded back with "should be getting another one later today"

you are a god
emphasis on "should" hahahah I followed up asking if we got hints right and how many we are gonna get but got no response even though the message is marked "read".

Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks for your persistence.
Now for the real question: Will this Hive Hint actually tell us anything or will it be super ambiguous like the last few?

We will just have to wait and see! If I were the one doing the hints, I would realize that I've sent out hot garbage so far, and I would throw one out for someone in the #4 or #5 spot to really get some excitement going

If they actually got MCR (would be amazing) - Then it's probably that one. The band's been trying super hard to keep everything under wraps for a single announcement for the US, so any leaks would likely take away from the spectacle of the big reveal

I'm still really hoping it's not MCR, Marshmello, and Beanie Eyelash. I would probably enjoy MCR, but we would almost certainly be leaving early the other nights if we went. Unless the undercard blew me away, I would be buying Wonderstruck VIP minutes after that lineup announcement.
billie eilish's price definitely skyrocketed today. she won all of the top 4 grammys last night.
Yeah man, whether you like her or not, it would be cool to see her live. She is already one of the biggest names in music. Have a feeling she is going to be around a long time and possibly a generation defining artist. Would be cool to say you saw her when she was just starting out. Definitely not my ideal headliner, but I'm down for the spectacle of it lol.

I'm cool with MCR/Billie. Marshmello reminds me of the year Deadmau5 played though - I'd much, much rather them be a sub headlining the other stage and have a real headliner

Deadmau5 is an amazing show, if you like his style of music, if not I can understand why it’s not a WOW factor. But Marshmello is a totally different level and blends so many genres while putting on a crowd engaging show. I do agree though, MCR would be cool, but MCR/Marsh/Billie aren’t totally gripping me
