Overall it's a solid lineup, and I won't miss 2 nights of back-to-back Panic much, but Bob Weir a headliner? Personally I'm just not a fan, but a set of camp fire songs doesn't really seem like a "closer" to me. He'd fit in better at the Mushroom stage after dark. Dark Star is slightly more interesting to see on the bill, but between Trey, DSO, Panic, and Weir, this is definitely the Jammiest headlining group Wanee has featured, and that's saying something for an ABB-born festival.
Still, should be another great Wanee overall. The rest of the lineup looks great.

I think it's a really good lineup. I know some folks don't like Bob Weir but I do. Panic I and can take or leave. The vocals kind of get to me after a while.
But Govt Mule, JJ Grey, Les Bres, Jaimoe, Blackberry Smoke? Yep.
And I'd like to see Bobby Lee Rodgers live.

Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.
I will personally watch
Thursday Night Widespread Panic (they are in ATL Fri & Sat)
Jaimoe's Jassz Band
Les Bres
Blackberry Smoke
JJ Grey
Leftover Salmon doing Neil Young
Marcus King Band
Dark Star Orchestra
Govt Mule (not my favorite format for Warren....I loved Ashes & Dust Band last year)
I assume that Trey will headline one night and I'll watch that. He was entertaining a couple of years ago as the second to last act of the day on the Peach Stage.
Sure wish we had the Oteil & Friends Band from last year. They were great!
Plus there is always 1-2 bands who knock my socks off that I was not expecting.
Just don't see the same type Fri & Sat headliner, but that could make for some extended camp fire jams!
Also I wonder if the Brothers & Sisters Band is that Mule NYE lineup from a couple of years ago: Warren + Pearson + Leavell + Paul Riddle. THAT would be great.

Hiya Tim
I think it could be this band
Solid initial lineup. I'm sure more bands will be announced.
Looks like I'll be making another trip to Florida........ 
It wasn't officially released... that will be next week... someone on the website messed up and this was briefly up and people grabbed it... not sure it's final.. just fyi... Looks good to me... the no Gregg is understood but sad.

Still room to add more bands
and Gregg could always sit in with Les Brers . . . wishful thinking, fingers crossed and all that !

Ahhhhh..... Thank goodness Wanee is coming and the lineup looks amazing. I didn't know about the brothers and sisters band. That makes it even sweeter. The more jack Pearson the better.
Official lineup announced!
Big additions to the previously announced lineup are Dr. John (woo hoo!) and Butch Trucks on Weds night.
Can't wait!
Brothers and Sisters
