hell yes.
Highly Likely:
- at least 2/3 if not all 3 of SCI/D&C/WSP. We know they tried for these this year and it didn't come to fruition. I believe WSP was on board until the date change. ShapFrey obviously felt the heat from the veterans about the "change in direction" so I think they'll go for a "return to roots" vibe for the 5 year anniversary. I think D&C and WSP are the most likely for two nights. I have a feeling SCI was pissed about the storm cancellations (why else play a show in Lockn's backyard for a promoter with whom you have no relationship when you knew Lockn would come calling).
-the Umph for two nights. They've played three years in a row and are now staples. They love the festival circuit. Their Lockn sets have always been well received, I think they've earned the right to two nights. Give me a second headliner Thursday or Friday and Saturday late night.
-Warren in some capacity (same reasons as above)
-Keller
-TTB
-Moe. One of the few big 'jam' bands they have yet to book, Frey said they wanted them for 2017
-Phil
Less likely but possibility's
-Neil Young (return to Roots)
-some alternative rock band, they've sort of been trending in this direction and I think it continues. Bands that could fit this niche: Flaming Lips, Tame Impala, Alabama Shakes, Primus. Hell they'd have to give them a headliner slot but I think Pearl Jam at Lockn would be awesome.
-Trey band or Mike Gordon band to reel the Phans back in after this year
-Allman Bros, a lot of buzz about them reuniting next year if Gregg's health holds up. I think they do because Gregg's clock is ticking and this may be the last chance. If they do reunite they may keep it to Wanee, Peach and a residency or two but if they are available Lockn will make a strong play for them.
-Blues Traveler, seems odd they've never played given their relationship with Frey. I think this is the year.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

I'm not a huge Pearl Jam guy, but Lockn would definitely be the perfect place for me to finally catch them.
I know this other one I'm going to say might not be popular with you guys and I'm not even saying that I would personally want it to happen...but Dave Matthews is going to play this fest eventually and when he does he will be either the Friday or Saturday night headliner.

The set will be entitled "Dave Matthews goes Phishing off a Poop Ship Destoyer" where he does all Phish and Ween covers. That is the least controversial act possible and will bring everyone together. Yes he will. And he will put on a show that will rock all but the most ardent haters.

I hope you're right, its as much my dream line up as it is speculative. Note I posted Ratdog in the 'yeah right' section before I saw they randomly reunited at Sweetwater last night so I guess that moves them up into the 2nd category. I'd love to see Pearl Jam live again, not a band I listen to regularly but their headlining set at Bonnaroo '08 was one of my watershed concert experiences. I think that is exactly what will happen.hell yes.

And I'm sorry but Fuck DMB (are we allowed to curse here?) I think that would be a total sell out move, and talk about bringing the wrong crowd to the fest. Would they have beer pong/flip cup tables and competitions for the best fraternity letter shirt and chants? Would they not be able to book Dead and Co. because they'd need to break the bank on alcohol compliance officers to bust all the high schoolers trying to get drunk? I fully recognize that I'm being a condescending jerk right now and I don't mean to insult you good people that may enjoy DMB, just not what I want at Lockn. This year showed I could go into a fest with doubts and leave with none, however DMB would be a much larger hurdle. No Thanks.

Jeff Tweedy....was gonna say Wilco, but folks don't seem to like them much in this scene and the have there own fest Solid Sound this year. Which by the way is my favorite fest to attend.

Big classic name headliners - Neil Young Makeup Show, Stevie Wonder, The Who, Paul McCartney (don't really think lockn can afford the last two)
Expecting Dead & Co to be there, Please make P&F be the Q or something cohesive - too many cooks in the kitchen for the stringdusters set (could have just dropped the stringdusters and it would have been a really interesting lineup where Anders and Page got to show off more).
Mule x3 please, UM x2 or x3 please, I'm sure SCI and WSP will be there, but I am more concerned about UM and Mule getting an appropriate number of sets. CRB late night again would be cool.
Would much rather see JRAD than PhilRAD unfortunately their PhilRAD shows didn't have the same tempo and quick changes as normal JRAD does - don't see JRAD being on the main stage to show up the dead acts with original members or given the late night slot again - that being said bring back Bustle for the main stage (or late night) please.
For never played lockn before, Pink Talking Phish in the Woods would be pretty cool, Moe would be a welcome addition, Mike Gordon Band, The Metermen w/ Page (or w/ John Gros), George Porter Jr. & Runnin Pardners, Original Meters lineup and other new NOLA funk, Jason Isbell please, New MasterSounds, Soulive, Orgone, etc. The Word really needs to be there, MMW, just so many different options now that I think about it.
Welcome Back Anders Osborne, Jimmy Cliff, The London Souls, Turkuaz, Karl Denson
- I'll just continue to edit this list over the coming weeks / months and hopefully Pete or Dave will see the wisdom in my suggestions eventually

I hated on DMB as hard as anyone for years. Then I actually saw them perform...and proceeded to see them several times thereafter. The stereotype of Dave fans keeps a lot of people away I think (feel like Phish suffers from that a little too although obviously a very different crowd).Yes he will. And he will put on a show that will rock all but the most ardent haters.Sept 1, 2016 11:34:36 GMT -5 @stoutmonster said:I'm not a huge Pearl Jam guy, but Lockn would definitely be the perfect place for me to finally catch them.

I am anticipating greatness. Have you ever been there? For those of you who don't know it's one of Shapiro's places. Most of the artists who play at Lockn come through either before or after the Fest. We joke that it must be part of the contract.
