Steve headliners arn't gonna be "original" as they have to be what will attract the most people, the BIG bands. I'm sure they'll have unique bands as well on other stages, I'm hoping for animal collective, tv on the radio and bon iver myself. But wouldn't turn down KOL or Radiohead as headliners!! OH AND WEEZER :):)

Not to bothered about them, but it's just one act for now. I hope they pull someone huge out the bag like AC/DC or Radiohead. Also Kings of Leon are a must!
