Promoter Seth Hurwitz described the headliners as "blockbuster" bands and explained how the rest of the line-up is shaping up. "We only have 12 slots a day on two big stages, and our concept is to fill our slots with the absolute best talent available. We don't book any 'favor' spots", he told Billboard.
