All of this waiting has driven me to a lot of unnecessary analysis.
Per Disney Food Blogs and assuming Fuel's website is just posting the beginning day because them performing one day makes no sense. I am guessing there are 9-10 bands/artists left to place in the schedule. I determined this from assuming bands perform either 2 or 3 days. So the unscheduled blocks are the following:
9/21 - 9/23 - 3 Day Performer
9/29 - 9/30 - 2 Day Performer
10/5 - 10/6 - 2 Day Performer
10/14 - 10/16 - 3 Day Performer
10/24 - 11/3 - 11 Days - Either 3/3/3/2 or 3/2/2/2/2
11/7 - 11/9 - 3 Day Performer
Given Facts:
Per Twitter from the TIW Food and Wine Festival preview event there will be 8 new performers. We know 6 of those performers already: Wang Chung (scheduled), Plain White T's (scheduled), Toad the Wet Sprocket (Scheduled), Delta Rae (Scheduled), BoDeans (NOT Scheduled), Living Colour (Not Scheduled). That gives two other new performers. According to Disboard poster Accident, one of those new performers could be a boy band (Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, O-Town, or New Kids On The Block). The last new artist/band remains a mystery. So that is 4 of the 9 or 10 not scheduled performers.
Confirmed Per The Preview Pamphlet: Boyz II Men and Hanson and I believe a poster mentioned Hanson playing around the time that you wear masks aka Halloween (Not
MNSSHP b/c you can't wear masks cue the lol) 2 of the 9 or 10.
Possible From Disboard poster Accident: Tiffany and Blues Traveler. 2 of the 9 or 10.
With these given facts we are at 8 of the 9 or 10 remaining artists.
My Opinion For Other Artist/Bands:
Given Eat To The Beat recent history, Smash Mouth and Pointer Sisters have performed in a lot of consecutive ETTB concert series since basically 2012.
Other potential returning artists: Rick Springfield, Everclear, Night Ranger, or Gin Blossoms. However, Night Ranger and Gin Blossoms have been performing at the Flower and Garden concert series.
Survivor may be another potential returning artist because they were scheduled per Disney Food Blogs for a little bit.
However, there is only 1 - 2 slots remaining so my money is on 1) Smash Mouth then 2) Pointer Sisters
My predicted schedules:
9 Artist Schedule
9/21 - 9/23 - New Artist
9/29 - 9/30 - Tiffany / Living Colour
10/5 - 10/6 - Tiffany / Living Colour
10/14 - 10/16 - BoDeans
10/24 - 10/26 - Smash Mouth
10/27 - 10/29 - Boy Band
10/30 - 11/1 - Hanson
11/2 - 11/3 - Blues Traveler
11/7 - 11/9 - Boys II Men
10 Artist Schedule
