The rest of the lineup is a mix of modern rock hot properties and favorites, alt-country stars and classic names.
The hot names include The xx, Phoenix, Avett Brothers, Regina Spektor, Ingrid Michaelson, She & Him, Damian Marley & Nas, Black Keys, Dead Weather, Clutch, Manchestra Orchestra, Rise Against, the National, Kid Cudi, Dr. Dog, Wale and Chromeo with Daryl Hall.
