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'm going to this! If anyone's coming from outta town..let me know! I'd be happy to show you around, give you info on hotels and transportation, etc.
So is Lady Shonda, apparently (scroll up). You should track her down paparazzi-style.
And I think I'm going to this, so I may be hitting you up on some local inside info. The only other times I've gone to Philly was to go to sporting events (where I'm the enemy, so I won't apply those experiences to this festival) and to get belligerently drunk in Manayunk, which I think is like Philly's Hoboken, so that doesn't count either.
I saw! Don't worry she'll definitely get snubbed if I come in contact. Ugh.
But yeah, please feel free to hit me up whenever. Where are you from? Manyunk is totally Philly's Hoboken! it kinda counts. But you got belligerent in Philly (which is like the main thing we do here, I wish I was kidding) so you fit right in.
Has anyone heard any rumors on lineup additions (or even when they'll occur)?
I continue to think the The Roots are a strong possibility given the Philly, Jay-Z, D'Angelo connections, but I'm struggling to think of other names that make sense.
I was hoping for Yeasayer (or "Yeasayers" as Hova called them at Coachella) and Grizzly Bear since he supposedly likes both, but it doesn't look like either band's tours cooperate with date/location.
I'm sure the Roots will do it. If not, I can pretty much assure you there will at least be an appearance made. I would love to see Yeasayer(s) lol or Grizzly Bear!
The only thing I am PRETTY certain of as of right now, is Drake being in the second 1/2 of the lineup. Ticketmaster accidentally released a lineup preview the day before it was actually announced, and he was the only one on that who wasn't then revealed in the initial lineup.

I live in NYC, so Philly isn't far, I just don't know a lot of people that live there anymore (they mostly moved to NYC).

Forgot about Drake (not an Eminem pun). I'm not sure how Drake is received by the typical Inforoo-er, but I'd like that. It's the type of show I know I'd enjoy, but would never pay to see on its own. In my mind, performers fitting that description are the perfect festival adds.
Also, I sent you a PM for some local Philly suggestions... I apologize in advance that it's a little 20 questions-y. I hope you don't come to regret your generous offer
Feel free to backlash, but I do like Drake. AND his emo last album grew on me pretty fast. Sorry!
Say it ain't so! I had such high hopes for you.
Drake is just the epitome of everything I dislike in hip-hop, so I can't support anyone liking him. I won't knock you for it, I will just pretend I didn't read that.

Haha, well thanks for that pass! I definitely understand. Because I actually do listen to much better Hip-hop (I do promo for the Fader Mag afterall), but I gotta soft spot for cheesy shiz.
Anyway..enough of that, whose excited for Jay? I'm hoping that I don't get my expectations too high for surprise appearances bc that's what I'm expecting to happen at this point.

I'm not sure who of the announced people would perform with Jay. I'd rather not have Maybach Music "HUH!" it up on stage during part of Jay's set. To be honest, the guy is so advanced as a hip-hop performer he doesn't need guests, I like just the scaled-down Jigga performance with a band and Jay delivering his early stuff, which I know isn't going to happen.
And that's really cool you do work with Fader magazine. I actually read that, so it must be good.
I definitely agree with that. I don't want Rick Ross on the stage with him. I kinda meant more like Ye or Beyonce (since it's his fest). I've never seen Jay-Z live, so either way, I'm excited. I'm probably gonna lose my shiz over it.
And thanks! I love it. Side gig that doesn't pay the bills, but I've gotten to meet some pretty great people and do pretty cool things (work at the events at SXSW and CMJ) and go to free shows.

He exudes awesomeness at his live shows and I've never heard of someone being disappointed by one of his performances. I don't ever get my hopes up for big guests at festivals, but Jay-Z/Kanye are working on another album, and Beyonce is his wife, so I wouldn't rule them out completely. I just wouldn't get my hopes up, that's all.
Although (just to rub it in), I was at the Summerjam concert when Kanye introduce the "Diamonds" remix with Jay. I was with my 3 friends, and we all absolutely love Jay-Z, so Kanye does his first verse, and then you start to hear the "uh.....uh-huh......yup!" Jay-Z sounds. And then 2 seconds later he comes out and drops that ridiculously good verse for the first time.
But yeah, don't expect the reverse to happen or anything, not everyone is as lucky as I am. But with or without guests, shiz will be lost by many, and I'm sure you'll be among them.

That's awesome. I was at the aforementioned Coachella performance, which featured a Beyonce cameo on "Young Forever".
It was my first (and only, so far) time seeing Jigga, and it was awesome start to finish, but the one thing that has always stood out to me about that performance was that from the moment Beyonce took the stage, Jay-Z couldn't take his eyes off of her. It sounds ridiculous, and at first I thought I was just imagining things, but I confirmed with my friends: You could feel his love for Beyonce during that performance.
Even if I was just imagining that, the memory's always made me happy.
Jay Z typically likes to do it big though for his 'own shows' that he puts on. Anytime he puts together there are a ton of guests (MSG, The Home and Home w/ Eminem, so i'd have to say he'd do the same at his first festival. I want to Yankee Stadium night one and it was ridiculous- between Eminem bringing out Dr Dre and G-Unit and Jay Z bringing out Beyonce, Kanye, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Chris Martin and Drake- it was an amazing show. This will literally be my 9 or 10th time seeing Jay-Z and he never disappoints.
As far as artist additions- I'd have to assume Freeway will be there since he was at the press conference with Jay or he'll at least be a part of his set. On the Made in America facebook there was a lot of talk about Foo Fighters early on- not sure where thats coming from but I'd be pretty surprised
Bought mine during the initial pre-sale. They are still only on the 2nd tier early bird tickets. I just saw a two page ad for this in Rolling Stone Magazine.
I went and bought me an outfit today that costed a lot of money today, youknowImean?, 'cause I figured that Wu-Tang was gonna win! I don't know how y'all see it, but when it comes to the children, Wu-Tang is for the children! We teach the children! You know what I mean? Puffy is good, but Wu-Tang is the best! Okay? I want you all to know that this is ODB, and I love you all, peace!"
July 4th? I mean, "Made in America," it would make sense. I don't know..but gimme the juice!
"Hov previously explained the he’s interesting in building suspense by withholding the full lineup. “You know me — I love the show of it. I will reveal them in time and we’ll do some silly things that no one understands and they’ll figure it out,” Hov told Billboard.com’s The Juice in May."

No, that sounds ridiculous, but it's absolutely true. Say what you want about Jigga, but I have no doubt that he loves Beyonce as much as anybody loves anything. Those crazy kids.
He's like you made an über troll by taking the worst parts of me (the utter disregard for other people's opinions), Phi (cluttering up threads with memes and adding nothing to a discussion) and Jess (an apparent belief that everyone else is the problem and/or arrogance without self awareness).

From the MIA facebook people seem to have found that The Hives should be added (Pollstar) and TV on the Radio (tag on the MIA video on youtube w/ all other announced artists)

So we are 100% going to get hunger strike at the pj set which is amazing! Drake, Gary Clark, run dmc, and the hives make me happy. It's still just really weird that the roots aren't on this bill. What's up with that?
