Pretty sure that will be Friday closer and Avetts will be Sunday closer then.

Avetts closing Sunday is a really depressing thought for me.

I dont know anything. Just looks lik a logical conclusion. I think we sleuther out Avetts are in Cincinnati on Saturday, so ' had them slotted as either Friday or Sunday closer

Perhaps the Sunday closer would not be as "big" as the next-to-closer, since a large amount of the crowd is leaving at that time (disillusioned souls and half-steppers, all). Might sell more tickets that way esp. VIP's.

The Lockn announcement says they have "one more reveal up their sleeves" for tomorrow. I think that means there is maybe a headliner announced, possibly another collaboration. No more undercard. Hopefully the announcement isn't a "CCR Incident" but surely they are planning something big if the Bobby announcement wasn't last.

2013--first timers

2014--as the ABB played, the promoters watched a long string of tail lights heading down the road.

2015--as Plant played, his second performance and the temps dropped into the 40's, the promoters watched a long string of tail lights heading down the road

2016--Phish because Phish (ie change of direction)

2017--A BIG Band>Avetts--return to 2015 (ie change back in direction)

But it wouldn't be a return to 2015.

Furthur is bigger than WSP
ABB is/was bigger than WSP
Robert Plant is bigger than WSP

At that point do they really care about the inevitable long string of tail lights. Last year there was a long string of tail lights as Phish played the last set. People leave before the end of every fest. The ticket and camping have already been paid for, the vendors are winding down, all the money has already been sucked out of the by now whooped crowd.

wait--are we speculating on the announcement thread? I'm complaining!

Anyway I think WSP is bigger than Plant, especially his second show (ticket sales). And while I understand "the show is over" I'm thinking this way: a fan with bucks and a day job is going to be thinking about leaving earlier Sunday than the last call of the last show. He'll come if he can see the next-to-last show but might not if he has to miss his favorite show. And possibly the same thinking as the guy who has a Monday job he can't miss.

But it's a small point and just guessing. I find the business side interesting and will try to remember to ask my guy about it.
