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!!
Radiohead, Phish and RHCP are our headliners. I'm not sure why this is even being debated. Be happy with the top three; it's a pretty solid cast of headliners.
I dunno man, I still think we're getting one out of this list (MAYBE two if we're lucky): David Bowie, Roger Waters, Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Outkast
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.

I think there's a good chance we'll see our first superjam headliner with all of those, plus Thom Yorke and Dre. I just feel like that's what Insider had to have meant when she said "using the term loosely"
"I mean, Led Zeppelin didn't write tunes everybody liked. They left that to the Bee Gees." "this whole situation has just turned his whole life upside down face."
2012: RHCP, Phish, Beach Boys, Aziz, The Roots, Alice Cooper, Superjam, Blackstar, The Word, Luda, Flogging Molly, Spectrum Road, Umphrey's, Black Lips, Gary Clark Jr., Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Trampled By Turtles
Madonna isn't playing, if that was even an option.

That Daft Punk image has a "paint" tab open at the bottom. 99.99999% fake.
When you do a screen grab, it opens in MS Paint. Plus, I don't think he'd be able to shop in the Daft Punk pic that nicely with MS Paint.
I agree that Daft Punk isn't playing this festival (or Bonnaroo), though. I think either the image of Daft Punk was just a placeholder for the real website or it's a publicity ploy by this festival.
I don't get why people say Drake is playing. Is it just because he is a popular mainstream rap/r&b artist?
Everyone is just guessing he will be there because he would fill the big-name hip-hop act. There's really no concrete evidence on this though, so I hope they're all wrong.

I'm hoping for some hip-hop reunion. But I don't know if there are any that could happen.

Yeah, there's nothing specifically suggesting him, but most people are expecting there to be some sort of big name hip hop act, based on previous lineups, and Drake is one the most logical choices.

Just read this..
Paul McCartney has been announced as headliner of a new 20,000 capacity FREE Diamond Jubilee Concert held at the Queen Victoria Memorial, with Buckingham Palace as the backdrop.
This event on Monday 4th June, the first bank holiday of the long Jubilee weekend, will be the centrepiece of the celebrations marking The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The BBC and Gary Barlow are bringing together some of the biggest names from the worlds of music, dance and musical theatre – including Elton John, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Jessie J, JLS, Ed Sheeran, Madness, Annie Lennox, Cliff Richard, Alfie Boe, and classical pianist Lang Lang.

This is a one off. I don't think it means there is a tour or more shows coming. Macca seems to be a very far reach at this point

Nobody's stopping you but for your sake I wouldn't count on it.
Radiohead - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Phish - Daft Punk - The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Reunion - Skrillex - Jack White - Drake - Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa - Bon Iver - The Shins
Friday: What: Skrillex -> Daft Punk Which: Drake -> Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa (LN)
Saturday: What: Red Hot Chili Peppers -> Radiohead Which: Bon Iver -> Jack White
Sunday: What: The Beach Boys -> Phish What: The Shins
It would never, ever happen, but I don't think it's all unrealistic. Also, it would be the best lineup of anything ever.
lol? you'd have at least a few thousand people wanting to skip friday. you gotta mix it up each day.

We need a Proboards Intrade. I'd be selling Drake and going way long Zac Brown Band. I'm not a fan of ZBB, but watching the size of tour he's putting together he just seems like a logical fit in the top 8 or so at Bonnaroo. People should start getting their hopes up or managing expectations accordingly.

I was talking to Geddy Lee and he said Rush was supposed to be there this year, but they would have to be listed behind RHCP so they declined.
Hahaha yeah right! No way any member of Rush believes that they are bigger than RHCP.
Rush is not only bigger, but I do not belive you can begin to compare RHCP to Rush. Rush has been not only around longer but relevant for longer. Rush has the best drummer in the world. Rush has larger loyal following than RHCP. The reason RHCP headlines over Rush at Bonnaroo is the roo crowd is more likely to favor RHCP than Rush. This does not lessen Rush's status.
Daft Punk is not going to tour until an album is made. In real Daft Punk News:
Daft Punk in Talks With Nile Rodgers for New Album Disco legend says, "Those guys are great. They're coming to my apartment and we're going to talk about making a new record together."
Chic frontman and disco-funk pioneer Nile Rodgers tells Houston's CultureMap that he's free of cancer and planning to work with Daft Punk on the duo's forthcoming record (via the Daily Swarm "Those guys are great," he told CultureMap. "They're coming to my apartment on Monday and we're going to talk about making a new record together." Rodgers, who has writing and production credits on tracks ranging from David Bowie's "Let's Dance" to Madonna's "Material Girl", is allegedly going to help tease out Daft Punk's R&B influences for their next album. Daft Punk are also working with songwriting legend Paul Williams.
