Happy New Year! Our Last Festival Predictions of 2015...

[Updated 1/4]

One more update as we head into 2016. We are quite confident in many of the predictions below, moreso for most of the earlier festivals than many of the later ones. We have added several festivals, and shaken up our predictions for the big NYC festivals, dropping the planned Panorama Festival in NYC, which is on the rocks and possibly canceled, and restoring to our list the Governors Ball, though our headliner predictions for that one are particularly shaky.

Watch this space over the next week for a much fuller Coachella lineup prediction, as well as a preview of some big non-festival gigs we anticipate in 2016...
