Who headlines in 2009?

primus would be best.

^^*sigh* almost like beating a dead horse^^

neither will probably happen
both would never happen......talk about a festival that gonna be 300-400 for just those 2

It doesn't mean a whole lot, but Big Hassle, the same company that does publicity for Bonnaroo and several acts who play Bonnaroo, are doing publicity for Weezer's new album. In the past, this hasn't really mattered much outside of the smaller end acts who play Roo and didn't have publicity beforehand, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

there is a new flips album dropping. supposedly in june 09............

Friday: Iron Maiden
Saturday: Beastie Boys >The Cure
Sunday: The Dead

My bet is on... Phish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews Band, Outkast, The Flaming Lips
Maybes- The Killers, REM, John Mayer, 311, maybe even Radiohead coming back
and... The Allman Brothers as not headliners

Ditto!
I so desperately want the Stripes to come back in 2009. I've been big into them since 2001, and they've been my favorite band for about six years now... and yet, I've never seen them live. It's tragic, really.
For me, The White Stripes headlining would be worth at least half the price of admission.

Unfortunately, I don't see it happening for a while. If they do return in '09, I think we'll see them as either a What Stage pre-headliner, or a Which Stage latenight.

where did you hear this???
i must know!!!

just got back from coldplay and they put on a pretty good show, very entertaining...maybe a possiblity

oh, and for our sake, no more widespread panic! can they at least pick a band that doesnt bore you to death?

DMB should be back in 09. dave and friends in 04, dmb in 05. they haven't played the farm that much when you think about it - two years with a dave presence, out of a possible 7. thats a long time without dave in any form at roo.

love him, like him or hate him, the dmb has one of the most successful tours year in and year out, for the past like 10+ years, they've been compared to a modern day grateful dead, i know their music isn't like the dead and their following isn't exactly the same, but i think we can all understand why they draw that comparison a little bit.

we need them back at bonnaroo, but since leroi's passing, god rest his soul, this will not be the same band. so i'm not sure what the touring schedule will look like next year. they're taking their "sweet time" (as dave said) on the next studio album, so when summer rolls around next year, they still might be working on the album. they're trying to gather up all of the parts leroi recorded so they can use them on the next album. on weeklydavespeak, a tracklist from the new album has surfaced, but who knows about the future of this band for sure.

HEADLINERS:
from the 70's - THE BOSS
from the 80's - PHISH
from the 90's - DMB

not me, that'd be like a dream come true

That I would be down with, in fact bring everyone and have a talking Headliner

^^but not gonna happen haha
