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!!
I know next to nothing about this festival. I just got a notification on Songkick with a line up and the name of the fest. First batch of bands announced are as follows: The Jesus and Mary Chain Explosion in the Sky Swans Divine Fits Joel Plasket Emergency Mac Demarco Colin Stetson The Jon quacking Spencer Blues Explosion' Metz Tim Hecker Thee Oh Sees
I haven't been living in Alberta all that long, and I live 7 hours north of Calgary, but that's no excuse for me never getting wind of this.
I'll post more details as I read about what exactly it is, but it seems to be a SXSW kinda deal, all club shows in the downtown area? Either way, I know what I'm doing after Bonnaroo!
Lol, I'm ashamed I'm only learning of it now. I've been so clouded by Roo in June the past 2 years. 200 musical acts in 30 venues. $299 for the "plus" pass. I've been looking for an excuse to go visit Calgary. And to make it better. I have 15 days off work, starting June 12th.... Best Friday morning in a long ass time!!!
That gives you an idea of past performers. I've never been to Calgary but I've always wanted to knock it off my list. I've also never peeped a schedule. Could be a wrist-slicing inducing train-wreck for all I know.

At a glance, it looks like some acts play 2-3 sets throughout the 4 days. There's a couple clubs that have 2 or 3 must see acts in a row. The whole think looks like a shit load of fun, and I feel like if this schedule is indicative of how they generally schedule for the fest, I'd easly see 90% of what I wanted to see, and leave some room for discovery of new stuff too. I've never done a fest like this before, but there's 0 chance of me missing this. Already got the approval my girlfriend. This will be the greatest 2 weeks of my music listening life!
Inquired about how soon tickets sell out, and received a tweet informing me that ticket prices go up April 2nd. Just in case there's anyone else out there who may be hitting this.
In the off chance someone who is going to this, I'll bump it a few times this week. Booking a room for 3 nights at Hotel Arts. 109$ a night, hoping to split. They don't have an inforoo for sled island unfortunately.
Just bought my plus pass, and booked my hotel. Flying solo. Last time I went to any show by myself was QOTSA in 2007. 4 days of this is more than I can begin to comprehend. Which is exactly why It needs to happen. There will be no Bonnaroo hangover for this guy.

So what, you live in a tar sand pit?
Sure the location isn't great, but we got a great deal!
Edit, I rent, but here's an idea of the housing market up here.www.listfortmcmurray.com/listing/50504390-129-balsam-way-fort-mcmurray-ab-t9k-0g3/ That's a large mini home, for $554,900.00, and is bet they will get atleast $540,000 for it, at the very minimum. Keeping in mind, this is a town with 1 Walmart, 1canadian Tire, 2 Tim Hortons, 1 Starbucks(inside a grocery store), A population of roughly 75,000, and 4.5 hours away from the nearest city,
And we call it the Oil sands, not tar sands. And it's not so much an open pit as it is a mine, an enormous gaping mine that has no boundaries and will continue to grow until it consumes us all.
