Other than the usual suspects, I would like Jack Pearson, Simo, and Dead & Co. I would actually prefer if Widespread passed this year. It's not that I dislike them, I would just rather have the numbers down to a more manageable size. Having said that, it sure would be nice to be on that field and hearing Jimmy.

I'd really like to see TTB headline a night, but I doubt they will play Wanee this year since they do Magnolia Fest at Suwanee Park in the Fall (and are touring abroad in March/April). I'm not a big Panic fan, though they are nicely intense as the closing show, I'd rather hear 2 different closers. Either way, can't wait to be there.

I like WSP especially since Jimmy joined, however I can't stand the majority of the fans at their shows.

Geez, I'm an old 39.

Simo is a great choice. Also The Weeks is a good newer band that would go over well there.

I'm with WarEagle on the WP fans. Too much ...of everything. And, the WP has been done to death at Wanee. I know they draw, and have a loyal fan base. I go to a lot of festival, and promote shows, seems like same old, same old when it comes to top tier acts at Wanee. Dead & Co will also draw, big time. I'm just over the rehash off all things DEAD. Best Dead stuff today is by Keller Williams.

How about Los Lobos, Wood Bros. Bring back Robert Plant, with his new band. I agree with TTB headlining one night. Hell, bring in the Flamming Lips. They've had Willie, it's time to have Merle.
My 2 cents.

Alabama Shakes and Drive By Truckers would be ok with me..........

Saw something about the initial lineup coming out on Friday.

Will be tight, but doable. TTB just announced as headlining (with Zac Brown Band) the Southern Ground Festival in Charleston, SC on April 16-17th. I suppose still possible for TTB to do April 14th and 15th at Wanee before heading ~300 miles over to Charleston.

Aquarium Rescue Unit would be ok with me.........

Derek is distancing himself from the ABB festivals so I'd be surprised to see TTB.

Hoping for

Jason Isbell & 400 Unit (Sadler Vaden on guitar!)
Sturgill Simpson (Laur Joamets on guitar!!)
Chris Stapleton

Hoping Dave Yoke is back playing guitar with someone (did Butch & Friends last year) and Benji Shanks if possible. They've both played with the Last Waltz Ensemble which would make for a great Wed/Thurs night act.

Those 4 guys are 4 of my favorite guitarist these days....bring 'em to Wanee!

Is Sipe playing with Warren's solo band? If so, you have Warren's band there, and add WSP and Dead & Co. to the mix and you've solved 95% of the scheduling issues to make it happen. I like the way you're thinking there, Sang.
