Mogwai is high quality post-rock. Not as good as Sigur Ros, or Godspeed You! Black Emperor,
Why even post this then?
Just mentioning that they are currently 3rd in my personal list of awesome Post Rock bands. If someone reads this, and isn't familar with the genre, maybe it will guide them to more great music.
Basically I disagree that all those post-rock bands should be lumped together. Mogwai has a lot more in common with Slint than Godspeed or Sigur Ros.
I agree. It's always personal preference. I'm a huge Mogwai fan but just can't get into what I've heard of Sigur Ros. Am I missing something?
YES. HOLY GOD YES. Sigur Ros is amazing. Just listen to all of Agaetis Byrjun and prepare to have your brain exploded. Preferably listen to it in the dark with headphones blasting in your ears. That's one of my favorite albums of all time.
I think Canton is a loose reference to Cleveland which in close proximity and the location of the rock and roll hof. That would include RHCP and a number of others. Just a thought. This will be my first Roo so I am new to all this.

You should really read through the thread. Gary said it has nothing to do with the Hall of Fame. RHCP has also been discussed and discredited as a possible answer.

On twitter yesterday, I thought Gary said we'd get more clues this morning. Has anyone been listening to Radio Bonnaroo today?
I was listening to it yesterday until I got an important phone call and the Bonnaroo app didn't pause the music when I answered it, so I had to say "UH HOLD ON" as music blared and I scrambled to turn it off. #designfail

Mogwai! This is GREAT news ;D Tried seeing them last year and twice they had to cancel shows. Sigur Ros at Bonnaroo '08 was fantastic... I'm stoked that Roo gets some great post-rock-ish acts.
So it's official then? Good score for Roo if it is.
Given that I have already seen them a couple of times I would probably pass but they would make a great fallback plan in whatever time slot they end up getting.

Mogwai is a huge first step in the right direction for this lineup.
I listend to some Magwai last night after knowing they will be at Roo. I'm psyched. I had heard a little before but knowing they will be there and it's not some crappy band <geeksqueal>

I've never been able to get into Sigur Ros. One of my best friends would blast their untitled album just about every day that we lived together fer a few months. This could be one reason I don't like 'em all that much.
