Doesn't look like it would fit any of the slots this year but the more I think about it... Having Deftones as one of the headliners at some point would be a really fun nod to the tour's early days that's simultaneously relevant in the present.
I don’t know if the sizes of the black bars mean anything (they were adjusted a few times last year), but there’s a gap in front of Denm on Long Beach and Mexico City that would fit them nicely. If the sizes do make sense, I can’t wait for them to announce MxPx since they’re one of the few bands that’d fit in their slot.
There’s a small slot on the LB flyer that’s one after Allison that I keep hoping will be Allister. I know it won’t be, but I keep hoping anyway lol
Games We Play & South Arcade are being teased for Lyman's "Idobi Summer School" tour, which last year ran through Long Beach, so they're probably a lock.
the sizes of the bars do not change. Someone mentioned it early last year so I studied them. What did change was some bands dropped before announcements and their bar went away (the funeral portrait in Orlando being an example) and other bands were added that didn’t have a bar.
