Beastie Boys? 
Rage?
Dave Matthews Band? Fuck that. The reason I didn't go to Vegoose 2006 was mostly due to the mass amounts of fucking terrible jam bands apart of the line-up. I swear to God, if that trend continues this year, count me out.

Further, at these types of fests, it's always the smaller bands I'm interested in. The best Vegoose shows I've seen were by Built to Spill, Guster, the Raconteurs, the Decemberists and Ween (though Beck was a headliner and fucking awesome). All of those were in the middle of the day. I don't care who headlines (though RATM rules). Anything that keeps this fest going gets my support. I blame Tom Petty for almost single handedly killing it last year...so excited to see him and he churned out the most God awful half-assed performance possible.

No Arcade Fire, No Sale.
I live in Vegas, and I travel to attend festivals all the time, but if these hacks can't get Arcade Fire to play [and they failed to at 'Roo (these are the same organizers)], even though AF is open to playing every festival on the face of the earth, then I'm not going.

Other rumored headliners I've heard:
The Beastie Boys
Radiohead
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Radiohead's the only one I'm interested in. The Beastie Boys are far past their glory days, and RHCP has been absolutely wretched for the past 10 or more years.

"Not sure that Superfly has the clout to convince them to cancel an entire European tour to play Vegoose."
The fact of the matter is that the UK tour was barely just announced. Superfly could've easily booked them PRIOR to them announcing the UK dates.

So the downhill trend continues with Vegoose. The Bonnaroo lineup gets weaker every year too.
There are a few good bands like Gogol Bordello and Cypress Hill but their festivals are going downhill and getting bands closer to Coachella.
Beastie Boys would be nice especially if they play a little of all their material. Interesting choice if they do come since they did start out as a jam band and then moved to rap.
