No Leno. Rolling Stone just happens to be the most widely read of the Kanye hype machine. And they cast him as Jesus on the cover of their magazine.
I lost a lot of respect for Rolling Stone when they called Eddie Vedder out years ago and said he made up all of this childhood that he tells the media...he wiped his ass with the magazine for a different reason though..lol
sorry if they've already been mentioned....could rage against the machine be the unmentioned headliner? slightly lower expectations, but big enough for sure
Rush has pretty much been ruled out because of their tour schedule. They consistantly have shows one day apart in their whole tour. So it's possible, but pretty unlikely, because they would have to play 3 nights in a row if they were to play 'roo and continue with their normal tour.
Not only was I at Bonnaroo 2008 for Kanye, I was also at his Sasquatch 05 show. They were two entirely different shows: one on time, very energetic and passionate, and totally won over the crowd; the other, not so much.
They were different shows.
2005 sasquatch was a regular concert.
2008 bonnaroo was a storyline-filled show that was choreographed and more like a play.
I would expect them to be different.
Kanye did a completely normal show when he headlined Lolla in '08.

Hey I was at that show! Seriously one of the funniest things I've ever seen. EdVed is everything that's right and good about music IMO
I don't know why it couldn't be Wilco. They have been at Roo numerous times, but I'd like somebody new personally. I guess Insider is busy living her life, right? Damn lol
i agree. INSIDER did say earlier today that the pre-headliner for sat night hasnt been mentioned yet (idk how many pages in the thread she read).. im sure Wilco has been talked about on here plenty, maybe not recently..
If The Rolling Stones or Neil Young headlines Saturday night idc who pre-headlines

I couldn't wait to get home and catch up with this thread, but looking at all the pages now... fuck that
Quick thought though (sorry if this has already been thorougly discussed). Robyn was confirmed. Shes big, playing arenas everywhere. She's apparently a big draw There wasnt alot of talk about her except yelling at CoS for posting a rumor based on nothing. Insider said no one was talking about the sat pre-headliner Ladies and gentlemen, I believe Robyn will be the sat preheadliner

I've been thinking all day of a big name that could conceivably headline that hadn't been mentioned here and the only one I could come up with is Justin Timberlake. He's been to Roo before. He's maybe borderline hip hop. Is that too crazy?
What are the chances that Insider is toying with us with the "lower your expectations thing". Now, she could be a real straight-shooter, but as she does seem to work for Superfly or someone else high up and in the know, it's not outrageous to think that she is priming us for a huge pleasant surprise of the likes of a Daft Punk. I sincerely doubt that'd she come out and lie (i.e. you can count Radiohead IN), but why not just go ahead and shoot down debatably the biggest band anyone has gotten super excited about just to put us out of our misery.
This is all speculation (what isn't at this point), but it just surprises me that every year this insider who clearly still works for or is dating/married to someone who still works for the organizers could get away with this every year. As Superfly does have a good relationship with inforoo, why not have her as part of the system to fix the anomaly of inforoo and the over-obsessed among us.
What I'm saying is, she's The One.
I was thinking the same thing. Pretty sure she's just part of the whole marketing plan to keep the hype up and get people excited without releasing everything. It makes a lot of sense, otherwise she probably would have been shut down by now.
I'm sticking with my guess with Wilco subbing. I just bought tix to see them on May 7 after their Jazz Fest performance, so they do have plans of touring this summer.

I just remembered AC/DC. They would be the biggest band on the bill and would fit the classic headliner mode. Somebody tell me they have been ruled out.

I've got a good feeling Wilco will be there. Probably on What 6pm-8pm. That doesn't answer the Saturday headliner or hip-hop/rap headliner.
She is throughout florida. I see in some markets shes doing house of blues though. and most other places im not familiar with the venue size. sooo yeah

Agreed. The only feasible rap headliner at the moment is Kanye West. I highly doubt Dre would be prepared to perform a headlining set by June and Kanye is the only rapper other than Eminem (who I just don't see happening) who has a big enough production currently to hold that spot.
Of course unless there will be a late night set by Drake or Lil' Wayne and Rolling Stones just take over headlining Saturday.
