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!!
You'll also have to consider that either Wu-Tang and/or A Tribe Called Quest is expected to be there.
Please explain.
Wu-Tang just because of 20th anniversary and Primavera most likely, and the only defense for Tribe would be the random fest they're doing in Sweden. However, I don't see Tribe being there and Wu-Tang could easily be on What stage. So, not sure if this will end up making any difference as far as Which stage performances are concerned.

Tackitt pretty much covered my reasoning for Wu-Tang and Tribe Called Quest. It began when I had seen a month or so back in the headliner thread that a higher billed rap act was possibly expected and these were the two names most had agreed upon.
As for AC's top albums list, I just meant that the favorite albums from 2012 of the company that put's on Bonnaroo is a good indication that they'll likely target those particular acts for this year's festival.

It would be cool to see some rap shows in smaller areas like the cafes. K'naan is the only show that I remember being like that. It would obviously have to be a smaller/more underground artist (maybe Shad?), or something like that. But it would be cool to have an intimate show that is more like an acoustic show, just about the lyrics and flow, and not so much about production and stage show. I love big productions like most rap shows are, but this would be cool too.
It would be, somewhat, random to have guest appearances from OF members. There is always the possibility some of the guys fly in with Earl or Frank if they are there, but its not like Coachella, where they are already in the neighborhood and can stop by for the day.

When I caught the Odd Future show in Chicago in 2012 we saw Frank and Earl getting out from the van onto the bus and they didn't perform that night, so that led me to believe they may travel around together just in general haha

Ya schoolboy Q is refreshing....Good chance he's there as well....
Any real basis for this other than hopeful speculation? Sorry, new to the thread. I'd surely be down for Kendrick, but it's Q I really want to see. Can't wait to see if all the Wu-Tang talk is BS or if we are actually getting them, too.
The hip-hop lineup has been decent the last three years, the only three I've gone, but it could be a little fuller. I loved seeing Childish Gambino a couple times, as well as GZA and Blackstar last year. A friend convinced me to see Danny Brown, which I would not have on my own (glad I had no conflict then), and I was really impressed with J Cole after randomly walking by just as he was about to start (had no idea who he was before that). Big Boi was pretty lame though, and the only M&M I care about has a peanut in the middle. The more hip-hop the better though.

So MF Doom is doing Soundwave Festival in Europe in July. I haven't been vigilant about keeping up with the direct confirmation so he could be ruled out already, but I would love more than anything to get Doom on the farm in just about any form. Absurdly unlikely, but I'll dream whilst I can.
