The "World's Largest Music Festival" maintains its reputation for diversity with this year's crop of grounds stage headliners. The lineup includes pop chart-topper Jason Derulo; "Tonight Show" house band the Roots; Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Joan Jett; recent Grammys showstopper Andra Day; indie-rock darlings Death Cab for Cutie and the Decemberists; respected singer-songwriters Ryan Adams and Ray LaMontagne; rising country stars Randy Houser and Hunter Hayes; and master musical satirist "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Four of Wisconsin's most popular musical exports — Garbage, the Violent Femmes, the BoDeans and Skillet — also will be at this year's Big Gig.

As for Depp, he'll be performing in the new rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires featuring two other stars, Alice Cooper and Aerosmith's Joe Perry.
