I was thinking that maybe some of these bands would possibly get a latenight set:
-The Word -The Duo w/ Gordon -Yonder Mountain (wishful thinking cuz they usually get the afternoon, which I love, but they would rock a long latenight set) -Galactic's krewe de carnival -Tea Leaf Green - would absolutely love to see this
I think Particle will most likely play a post-latenight set like a couple years ago. If they allow bands that have already played latenight to do it again then I would go with STS9 and would kill for more Umphrey's latenight. I just don't see that many indie rock bands getting latenight sets. Many of them haven't been around that long and don't have the material to fill 3 to 4 hours. Also, latenights are famous for collaborations and sit-ins and I don't see much of that happening with the indie rock bands. I guess this is just wishful thinking on my part since I don't care much for the indie rock bands.
I would love to see the Duo w/ Cactus as a late-night set. They're doing late-night shows in New Orleans during JazzFest so maybe they'll do the same at Roo.
I think that I remember seeing somewhere that Umphrey's, Mars Volta, KDTU and of course Trey have all given out some kind of information indicating that they would be playing late night sets. That leaves room for several more of course if the schedule is set up like last years.
I would like to see Yonder Mountain, Secret Machines and one of the hip-hop acts in the mix.

what is up with Umphrey's not having a night show on the early grid. they are probably the band i most wana see with a night show, other than mars volta.
They made a point of mentioning their "synchronized light show" in the most recent Bonnaroo Spotlights email.
I got hooked up with VIP tix for their Baltimore show and, while the show was fine, (just... fine) the lightshow, which got a lot of press as being super cool, was sub par. They just had these 3 banks of LED lights that are somewhat synchronized, but I didn't think they were anything great.
Latenight set-wise, I'm really stoked about The Mars Volta and/or STS9 on Friday and Karl Denson and/or De La Soul on Saturday.
ziggy, Umphrey's had a latenight slot last year and I'm pretty sure they don't have bands play latenight a second time. I really wish they would let Umphrey's have a latenight set though. Best show I saw at last year's 'roo.
I'll probably go to the Mars Volta on Fri. just because I've been hearing so much crazy sh* t about them but Sat presents a dillema. KDTU or Secret Mahines? I've never seen either one live and I'm not sure where to go. Help me I'm lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen KDTU and I know they kick ass, but I'm probably going to start with Secret Machines.
When I have to choose between two acts at a festival I usually follow this path:
1) Have I seen them already? (KDTU - Yes, Secret Machines - No) 2) Are they likely to tour near me anytime soon? (KDTU - tonight @ Headliners in Louisville, Secret Machines - They just started touring, but they are a NY band, so probably not many Midwest dates)
Plus, KDTU will be playing for another two hours after Secret Machines stops. Win-Win in my book.
According to the grid that's out, Umphrey's is not playing late night. Which is ok I guess. But what really sucks is that Umphrey's and The Black Crowes overlap. I will not miss Umphrey's this year like I did last but I really want to see all of the Crowes too. Plus I know that everyone in my crew will not miss Crowes so I'll be solo.
