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 in 2013!!
I would send COS a fake lineup then develop my own version of bonnaroo clues but it would be like the top twenty acts on scrabble board with the majority of the letters removed and I like to picture my jesus with giant eagles wings singing lead vocals for lynyrd skynyrd and im in the front row and im hammered drunk
Sorry, I spent too much time reading CursedLeno posts today, obviously

I'll tell you what I WOULDN'T do: I wouldn't go around Bonnaroo message boards claiming that I have all this inside information, but then refuse to share it with anyone. I have to imagine that anyone doing that would have to be the biggest dickbag alive.
Radiohead, prince, muse, chili peppers, etc...and they are lucky if they get 1 mill, but they normally only get 500 k
then you have third tier : snoop, dre, J z...they get 100 k
then you have 4th tier : black keys, munford byoncee, Prince etcc: they get 50k

I'd create a whole new persona, called Cyber Jack....(because i Cyber Jacked your lineup) new email, and new Inforoo SN. post it. then delete everything and wipe my hard drive so there is no trace back to me.
edit:
I take all this back; and follow GOUGEaways lifestyle.

Would leak one band a day in the form of youtubes from a separate account. People wouldn't understand at first, but then next year everyone would freak out waiting for "mortimerthebonnaroolineuprevealinghedgehogjr" to post some youtube videos.

I sure would not post anything on here, especially if I was just trying to confirm the absence of a band from somebody who would know. Doubly especially not when it gets people friending you on facebook just to stalk your contacts. Some people on here are ungrateful little NBC.

So who other than Basement Jaxx did your friend tell you?

Funny thing is, until I changed jobs, I would have had a decent inside track on info for this year. The son of one of the people I used to work for is apparently one of the production, management and booking people for Superfly out of NYC, and works on Bonnaroo. I didn't find this out until late spring of last year, when my (much older) boss told me that she goes to Bonnaroo every year because her son help put it together, so she goes for free. She was very excited for Kris Kristoffersen. Ah well.

I used to be able to hit up the DJ's for our local radio station, and some others people around town but this year either they are getting it when we are, or they are not telling a soul. The guy I talked to is more involved in band and touring logistics, but I figured he had a better chance than anyone else I had left of knowing anything.
if i had inside info and i didnt share it with all the people in the forum who are going batshiz crazy over finding out the lineup, im not sure i could consider myself a member of the forum any longer because i would be doing the opposite of helping everyone else.

I would tell my Mom, then put her on an Amtrak train and have her hold a loud phone conversation with someone regarding all the line-up info. I would at the very least tell her to name drop What stage during said convo. That ought to get the ball rolling
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Encore: -Ball and Biscuit -Seven Nation Army -Screwdriver
So who other than Basement Jaxx did your friend tell you?
Only other name I've gotten from him is Street Sweeper Social Club. He's not covering the same topics he used to for the publication he works for (he used to cover tours/live events for them, so he was in contact with tons of bands/promoters/etc.), so I got next to nothing this year.

The other thing is quite honestly the hate you get for not saying anything is still less than what you would get for being wrong if peoples expectations get riled up. Ask Alex Young about that.

^^Fwiw I sent the guy a message today asked him if he was serious and if I could go on and post it. I told him I quacked up by saying I knew something and it got out out of control, if he gives me the go ahead I will post what he said. Honestly it has taken a lot of fun out of things next year I will try to remain in the dark like everyone else. Also I am not as sure about the info because of stuff everyone else is throwing around.
