So which band does not belong in that illustrious company? If you guessed Opeth you'd be right. I mean who is going to, out of that whole group of music stew, be there to see Opeth? My favorite Swedes must be there just for the experience. Because really...when the promoters have this as a quote:

The lineup you've all been waiting for is here! No, not the Gathering of the Juggalos - although we're looking forward to that, too.
How can you really take them seriously. So if you're in Tennessee from June 9-12 head on over to the festival. Personally I'd rather go to Dollywood.
