[Fozzie Bear]

Looks like this will be Brian Eno's installation, so he may not be there:

[tЯist♡n]

hell yeah!!

[Bikemail]

So is it worth flying down for this? Because holy shit this lineup is fantastic!

[Deleted]

Looks like I'll being going to this...

[Greg's Rad Screen Name]

Prophet Pass looking like a hell of a steal rn.

[Rothric]

Really solid lineup. I'd give a slight edge to last year, but there's still a hell of a lot I'd love to see on this.

Glad to see Nicolas Jaar is rising to headliner status at regional fests.

I'm surprised to see John Talabot billed so low at a fest like this.

I know and love Talabot, I have heard a little bit about jack master but know basically nothing about him/her/them/whatever, and no idea about the other two. Thanks!

Yep! Jackmaster is strictly a DJ, id suggest checking out his DJ Kicks album from last year for a good intro.

[tЯist♡n]

From the smaller names, serpentwithfeet, moscoman, romare, Jacques Greene, Abra, and Actress should all be sweet.

[Fore34]

Just looked up Mr. Twin Sister, loving it. Same goes for Daniel Avery and Jackmaster

[Fore34]

I would like to commend iii points on having a far higher percentage of female artists throughout their lineup. That being said, I'm not a fan of Kali Uchis or Abra. But I am absolutely digging Kelsey Lu as a change of pace from all the hip hop and electronic

[elmorejames]

I knew Kelsey Lu McJunkins through friends in NC. She's remarkably talented and I was quite taken aback to see her billed that high.

Otherwise, Fort Romeau and Romare are great gets, particularly the latter. All of his albums are GREAT, and his most recent Boiler Room set is an instant classic.

And Kaytranada... I love him, but man he asks for a lot of money these days. Folks I know through an NC festival that tried to book him said he asked for $75K. He brings them out, though.

[Fore34]

I'm conflicted on this Teklife thing because I really like dj Earl, but I can't really get into Spinn. Does anybody know how they do shows together? is it like b2b or simultaneous or what?

It's just a Footwork/ghetto house onslaught. There's little parsing the two together live unless you're a scholar.

[Phyre Fest]

Julie who were the last minute confirmations?

Jackmaster, Daniel Avery, Willow Smith

[foster]

This lineup is pretty fantastic. I might have to find a way to fit it into my budget.

[Phyre Fest]

Hey Julie can yall make the schedule where there are zero conflicts? That'd be greaaaaaaaat, thanks!

[Dad Dog]

Hoping a lot of these people are at DfN. Would love The Ship to follow Bjork Dig.

[popeonarope]

Fantastic lineup. However, since I'm a spoiled brat, will there be more additions to this? The lineup seems pretty small compared to previous years.

In terms of big acts, it's about the same. Last year's poster was full of names, but half of them were local.
