The odds of Refused being there seem slim to me, no? Any indication they're going to keep touring?
And I didn't realize Ceremony is qualified as punk. I quite like them.
Refused is a long shot. It seems like they are having a blast doing this again. I really haven't heard what's up after this is over. They keep adding dates. I would have a problem placing them on the schedule, honestly. I feel like a tent show would be a clusterf*ck but instead a Which Stage closer (and that's a BIG stretch).
In my definition of punk, Ceremony fits. Not so much in sound but ethics.

FYI I think Dead Kennedys are touring without Jello. I would not be interested in that.
the return of operation ivy... but i'll take rancid.
and i know some don't consider it punk, but i wouldn't be surprised to see the offspring on the line up. maybe like where weezer was in '10. also, bad religion, larry & his flask, the briggs, big d & the kids table, the transplants, no use for a name, authority zero, bouncing souls, would be neat. and green day will headline friday one year. maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but some year. book it.
Going to see nofx descendants rise against and less than jake in Sep, and it's being put on the shitty alternative station in Dallas no less!!! It's been soo long since I've seen rancid and would love them to be on the farm. Bad brains was a lot of fun!

Operation Ivy would be the shizzz but you lost me with Weezer and green day. I really really hope it doesn't come to green day, the maturity level of roo would drop significantly. The offspring is less bad, I enjoy some of their stuff. I'm the jerk who always challenges people's definitions of punk. But maybe y'all will agree. Punk is definitely NOT about playin three chords fast with a whiny voice or even shouting. It is an ethic that is most manifested in the pit. As the frontman for Anti Flag said at a show a couple years ago: if someone falls you pick them up! This was definitely apparent at the flogging molly show. It's a no bull shiz attitude and a community focused ethos. Some of the most punk bands ever that sound nothing like the pop of Green day are Patty Smith, the pogues, the Andrew Jackson jihad, the violent femmes. (all of them still playing) heck I generally agree with argument that punk was born with the Stones ( Rolling Stones that is) or even Hank Williams. I definitely think we need to be promoting punk bands that cultivate the punk ethos (which is an ethos that compliments the ethos of roo) rather than pop bands that play an allegedly punk sound.

bad religion would probably be the one that would work the best. they are amazing, they still melt faces, and one in every 5 people at least knows one br song.
hey what about me first and the gimme gimmes. now there's a band everyone could get down with.

ha i'm not saying weezer is punk. i'm saying i could see the offspring (who could be argued as punk) playing the same slot that weezer played in '10. weezer's not punk. no way.
but that's what all "punks" say at all punk shows though. that's just common sense/ courtesy to look out for your peeps. AND anti-flag is all against cooperate bs and stuff right... then why are the playing warped tour (the most cooperate cess pool of shit in the country) and makin all these major deals and crap. to me, that's not punk. at least a band like green day that's cashin in on the sound aren't a bunch of hipocrits. i understand the hate they get (i guess). but think about it from back when they blew up. they're a type of music made for and by slackers. their lyrics deal with slacker-related themes and i think punk is a about (among other things) an "i don't give a fuck" attitude- the same attitude that was felt throughout the mid-early 90s with grunge going around. this is just a slightly brighter version of those ideals. green day was just a bunch of slackers (with an ear for pop) that got lucky. if it wasn't for them and their popularity do you really think bands like rancid, the bouncing souls, social d, even flogging molly would still be around? hell no. green day squeezed the sound in the "mainstream" minds and made a niche for others to cash in on. have you seen a show? they played for 2 hours and 45 mins last time i saw em and kept the crowd in the palm of the hands the whole time. they've progressed to a helleva rock outfit.
the definition of punk is always a fuzzy thing. nobody knows. they're really just angrier hippies. but to me i need some energy in the tunes. the bands you listed all sound good, but it sounds like folk to me. ccr is more "punk" than this, but you could consider bob dylan punk too and still be right. weird, huh?
just curious. what do you think of the clash? or ramones?

Violent Femmes are not going at it presently, as far as I know. They split after the Wendy's scuffle and the Crazy cover.
(1) Damon Albarn (2) Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (3) King Khan & His Shrines (4) Ty Segall (5) Ms Lauryn Hill (6) Darkside (7) Kanye (8) Janelle Monae (9) Goat (10) Meshuggah.
