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!!
Well I'm surprised no one else is talking about this one, yet. I tried searching through the forums but couldn't find a subject on this one for this year. This is one of my must go festivals this year. For one I have a few friends who are going already that would be nice to meet up with. Also I have never been to this festival and I heard a LOT of good things! So no matter the lineup I am going. I want to get to see that Sherwood forest! Early bird tickets are also already sold out so for the other people who are already planning on going you might want to jump on the next tier of tickets.

I almost made a thread for this last week. Loyalty, Early Bird, And Electric Entry Tickets are sold out already. I have a couple of friends that volunteered here last year and they had a blast. I wish it was closer. I'd have to kill way too many vacation days to make that drive.

I thought of making this thread earlier too, lol...
Part of me is considering going if I volunteer with WET, but that's an even longer drive than going to Bonnaroo (from the DC suburbs). Probably 13 hours... Love the venue though!

I also thought about making this thread when early birds were announced but the general dislike for any mention of it here kept me from it.
I already bought my tickets. Roo and eff are pretty much a given for me each year. 3 nights of cheese in that setting is worth the price alone for my tastes. Really hoping we get more house/trance this year and a little less dubstep. 30k is max for attendance this year.

Please don't worry about that ever. If there is any fest were multiple inforooers would like to attend, I strongly encourage a thread to be created for logistics on meeting up or whatever. Who cares if a weenie stops in to drop a snarky remark. It's the internet. It pretty much always happens. And sometimes it's hilarious.

I would absolutely love to go to Electric Forest one year. Unfortunately the location is a logistic nightmare for flying to.
Fly into Chicago Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. I'll pick you up and you can ride with my group to EF. I'll take you back Monday. Sound good?

The list below is artists who have definitely been contacted by the festival, but the only confirmations are those artists from SCI, Madison House, and Pretty Lights Music(marked with an asterisk). It’s being said that SCI(String Cheese Incident) may be on their final tour of Electric Forest, and that they’re looking to hand the hosting baton to PL Music. The original idea was to give it to Lorin(Bassnectar), but after the mess his bassheads caused last year they decided to keep it in the CO family.

Bassnectar was headlining late night after SCI, and apparently his bassheads went pushing and shoving to the front to grab their spots before SCI had finished. It created quite a scene along the front rows, and SCI commented later about their distaste towards the crowd. It totally disrupted the entire end of their set.

Not good and another reason I do not like bassnectar.

Bassnectar is probably my favorite DJ. He more or less got me into the EDM scene, and he's absolutely brilliant. I have never encountered an unfriendly crowd at one of his shows, and I certainly know he was as disappointed as SCI to hear of what happened. Don't judge an entire crowd on one experience.

under half...i'll take it :p
don't get me wrong...the EDM scene(and the dubstep scene in particular) has drawn a mass of inexperienced teens to festivals and shows, and they can be downright rude and annoying at times. but the scene as a whole is meant for positivity and good vibes. we were all n00bs once...maybe not so green at the beginning...but i think the best thing we can do as vets is lead by example
I WILL however totally take you up on that offer next year.
