Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.
That's a really good call. Big band. Massive popularity. Has not played Bonnaroo. Has not been discussed yet as the Saturday headliner. I believe they are working on a new album.
Those are precisely the reasons as to why I was curious if they had been ruled out or not.....
I could have swore that the last time I checked Coldplay's tour schedule that they had something scheduled during Bonnaroo, but not anymore??

yep. minus a tribe called quest because they would be in a public enemy slot. but yeah, that's everyone rounded up that we're thinking about, besides mayer.

take out coldplay and black eyed peas and im right there with ya. Coldplay? 10 yr anv sat night headliner?? hahahahaha NO WAY
Neil Young, Rolling Stones, Muse, The Who (lookin like its the Rolling Stones)
raptorman might be on to something, even if he was joking. Drake is pretty damn popular right now. Last year would have capitalized on his success more than this year, but still.
but to go from him in to a hip-hop headliner makes no sense. never say never though. i'm only ruling him out for that reason. i think someone across the pond would be harder to negotiate with so that's why i went with Muse. they stay within the realm of realism and are far enough way to take extra time to deal with. it could literally be a bunch of bands though i suppose and NY is definitely in the mix.
I don't think Superfly thinks like that. For example, last year they went from The National > Michael Franti, The Black Keys > Kid Cudi/B.o.B., The Avett Brothers > Weezer, Ween > Phoenix.
Or more famously, Pearl Jam > Kanye West in 08
Sometimes you just slot acts when you can and it doesn't make sense in terms of the crowd each act draws. That's why you counter program and provide a variety of acts across a festival.
I guess my main issue is that if difficulty of booking is a factor as to why you think it might be the Stones over Neil Young, I'm just telling you Neil Young is more notorious for being a total flake than the Stones are.
i was thinking more along the lines of JUST headliners. the way they lead in to headliners. with somewhat similar headliners. BUT, as for PJ -> Kanye, touche. touche.

also no way are The Roots, with or without John Legend the big name hip hop act on Saturday. last time they played Roo 3 years ago they were billed 18th and with John Legend theyre billed 17th at Jazz Fest, its not like theyve blown up since 2007... if theyre back at Roo again this year they're in the 10-20 range again

Nothing and no one gets love on these boards, unfortunately. Lots of haters, I'm sure you'll come to notice. However, I'm fine with Panic. They're great live. WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Kayne, whom everyone is wanting back for some reason...obviously they missed his boring ass 2008 show.
why was it boring?
Just nothing special-very mediocre, especially after all the hype about his great light/glow stick show (he had NO lights, glow sticks, etc.). He was not engaging with the crowd AT ALL (didn't say "Hey bonnaroo" "goodnight" nothing...after being 3 hours late)...sounded okay but just not much energy. I had just walked over from Ghostland Observatory, which was arguably the best show of the weekend and the energy in that tent could have made the Heaves open up.

The question is why is there a conflict.. which bands could propose a conflict.. The Stones is one but unlikely but that could be the very reason that it could be them.. it could be some type of reunion show that one of the members backed out on and they are trying to convince.. it could be an act dropped at the last minute and a scrabble to get someone which would support the 'dont get your hopes up' bc it is hard to get a real big name last minute.. the truth is no one know right now.. as for hip hop headliner, who cares.. i am perfectly find with the acts that play the tents.. they are usually better anyway
Probably. She wetted our appetite, I don't think anyone really wants the whole thing to be posted right now. Sometimes, surprises are nice. I expect the line-up next week.
This year is going to be like the past 4 years - a lot of hype only proves one thing: you can't make everybody happy.
I don't think the headliners are "over-the-top," but I'm not disappointed either. Are you all getting Daft Punk, Radiohead, Neil Young, Arcade Fire, Furthur, My Morning Jacket, Prince, and David Bowie?
No.
But bear in mind (something I've slowly come to terms with) - the people behind this festival know what we want, and they know what would make a great festival. They certainly tried to book the likes of Daft Punk/Radiohead/The Beatles, but it isn't always feasible. You can't just make a band play your festival; and for most of these guys, more money isn't going to make a difference.
One headliner might come of something as a surprise. I don't keep up on every page of this board anymore, so I can't say exactly what has or hasn't been discussed. As badly as I want to tell you we are getting a Talking Heads reunion, there just isn't a surprise of that capacity in the deck.
