Okay – I'm looking at OBH 2015's music schedule and what we know for 2017, specifically:
One Big Holiday will feature:
- My Morning Jacket: THREE shows
- Gary Clark Jr.
- The Head and the Heart
- Kurt Vile & The Violators
- Preservation Hall Jazz Band: TWO shows
- Deer Tick: TWO shows (acoustic sunset show + late night show)
- Lucius
- Carl Broemel: Sunset show
- Tune-Yards (DJ Set): Late night DJ Set by Merrill Garbus
So I tried to plot out where each band will play, based on 2015's schedule (I kept MMJ & Pres Hall's sets where there sets were). I get this:
Sat Feb 4
Opening Toast
Opener: Kurt Vile
MMJ Night 1
Late Night: Lucius
Sun Feb 5
One Big Football Party
Opener: Pres Hall (so good after the Super Bowl)
MMJ Night 2
Late Night: Deer Tick
Mon Feb 6
Afternoon Sunset Set: Carl Broemel New time slot not there in 2015
Opener: The Head & The Heart
Headliner: Gary Clark Jr
Late Night: Pres Hall
Tuesday Feb 7
Afternoon Sunset Set: Deer Tick
Opener: ?????????
MMJ Night 3
Late Night: Tune Yards DJ set
So from my point of view, there's still an open time slot.
Now, I have absolutely zero inside info on any of this, I'm basing my slotting of bands on what has been posted and how the bands were scheduled in 2015.
Okay internet folks, what say you on this?
And now, back to the real world.
I expect Lucius will be an opener for one of the MMJ nights.
Thought the same thing myself. I would like to see a Jim James solo set but that seems unlikely. The regions of light release concert was lots of fun.
Very possible Lucius will be an opener. I put them there because I saw some similarity to Sylvan Esso in their music (even though I'm pretty much a newbie to both bands).
So maybe there's one less late night set then?
i sure hope lucius isn't relegated to just a late night set. those are waaaay past my bedtime.
maybe patrick and dave givan will do their late-night dj thing again.

That's what I was missing! Thank you slappymoe!
So now, maybe something like this:
Sat Feb 4
Opening Toast
Opener: Kurt Vile
MMJ Night 1
Late Night: Deer Tick
Sun Feb 5
One Big Football Party
Opener: Pres Hall (so good after the Super Bowl)
MMJ Night 2
Late Night: Patrick Hallahan & Dave Givan DJ set
Mon Feb 6
Afternoon Sunset Set: Carl Broemel New time slot not there in 2015
Opener: The Head & The Heart
Headliner: Gary Clark Jr
Late Night: Pres Hall
Tuesday Feb 7
Afternoon Sunset Set: Deer Tick
Opener: Lucius
MMJ Night 3
Late Night: Tune Yards DJ set
that looks right to me
