North Coast Music Festival just announced the bulk of its 2017 lineup, and it includes an interesting mix of EDM, hip-hop, jam bands and, um, WEEN. This year's festival takes place in Union Park from Sept. 1 to 3.

The headliners this year includes Deadmau5, who is teaming up with Eric Prydz, and Gucci Mane on Friday; Damian Marley, and Sound Tribe Sector 9 on Saturday; and WEEN, and a mystery act on Saturday. Other notables on the bill are Outkast's Big Boi, jam-funkateers Lettuce, grime artist Skepta, and Chicago's The Cool Kids.

UPDATE, MAY 31: Primus has been added to the bill as a headliner, ahead of the release of their 9th studio album later this year. The addition of this iconic trio that has long mixed funk, punk and virtuosic prog together into a blend that is 100% their own is truly a surprise.

Ganja White, Bob Moses, and Chicago live house trio Autograf have also been added to the lineup.
