I think you're all crazy.
It's either Mumford & Sons or Kings of Leon
MUMFORD -Rising Son of Man = rising band, Mumford & SONS -Future was uncertain = they took a while to release second album, didn't know whether they were going to be a fad; and/or the song "I Will Wait" -Human contact is gone = "Little LION Man"
KINGS OF LEON -Rising son of man = KINGS of LEON, Leon is the grandfather of the majority of the members -Future was uncertain = the band has been on an indefinite hiatus since the cancellation of their last tour, but they're working on a new album. Human contact is gone = the band has been pretty silent about their future. -BONUS CLUE = the background picture on the clue. Their last album was called "Come Around Sundown"
MUMFORD -Rising Son of Man = rising band, Mumford & SONS -Future was uncertain = they took a while to release second album, didn't know whether they were going to be a fad; and/or the song "I Will Wait" -Human contact is gone = "Little LION Man"
KINGS OF LEON -Rising son of man = KINGS of LEON, Leon is the grandfather of the majority of the members -Future was uncertain = the band has been on an indefinite hiatus since the cancellation of their last tour, but they're working on a new album. Human contact is gone = the band has been pretty silent about their future. -BONUS CLUE = the background picture on the clue. Their last album was called "Come Around Sundown"

Not sure if serious.
If serious, yea, WE'RE definitely the crazy ones.
Meh. I was serious on the guesses, not so much on the calling you all crazy part. Although to my credit, I think I made an okay connection without the use of constellations or hyperbolic allusions to the role of technology in society. If I'm Tracy Morgan, you're all Gary Busey.
At the risk of contradicting myself and sounding even crazier, if you don't believe me now, Mumford's latest album is called "Babel." Ever heard the story behind the Tower of Babel? Read through the second paragraph of the Wiki. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel
If you really want to get specific, you could satisfy all three parts of the clue with Mumford's Babel album title alone
Rising son of man = the collective human race seeking higher ground after the flood, built a tower. Future was uncertain = future of their race in question. Human contact is gone = God spread them across earth and confused their languages.
Btw, if we are crazy.. why do you have multiple guesses?
Because I was joking when I called you all crazy. I thought it was widely accepted that this whole clue scheme is crazy and in some ways makes everyone act crazy with rabid speculation. I should use smileys more often.
With that said, if having multiple ideas isn't consistent with being sane, I'm willing to do away with my KOL guess. I'm sticking by Mumford & Sons, though. I think this is the answer.

Kings of Leon will be in Europe during Bonnaroo.
Major oversight on my part, but all the more reason for me to do away with my KOL guess and stick with Mumford & Sons, who are conveniently free all summer.

No argument Mumfords going to be on the farm this year say about 90% of us agree but you can mold these clues to fit anything if you try.

Right. But I'm not just throwing out the name of an obvious band to be some kind of pseudo-Nostradamus. My point is just that Mumford requires much less "molding" than many other guesses presented. Their most recent album is entitled Babel, and the clues match the key components of the story of the Tower of Babel, and they do so in the correct order.

I really wanted to avoid it, but I think I'm ready for people to come up with reasons I'm wrong.
Lets, just for a second, entertain the thought that this is David Bowie. Please keep the dream alive before you guffaw me out of here.
Sure, he's not had new stuff in a decade. Sure, he's not played a show since '06. This morning it was announced he'd have a new album coming out in March.
Also the stanzas line out the plot to Space Oddity.
Or: Ziggy Stardust could be the rising son of man. Future was less certain - will he ever tour again? Human contact is gone - hasn't done so in the better part of a decade.
The Jesus and Mary Chain If the connections are from a theological perspective,
Rising son of man, (Jesus, though son of God (who is a man i.e. male), rose from the dead
the future was less certain, (Note the past tense "was" when referring to the future. How can the future be the past/or already exist? The future is in the Book of Revelations, which is incredibly obscure--less certain. Also Jesus and Mary Chain can be interpreted as Jesus and Mary offspring, which no one is certain from a historical perspective existed, so the future of the family would be uncertain, and in the past tense)
Human contact is gone (Jesus and Mary are dead, though you can supposedly contact them when you're dead. This also alludes to the "Chain")

It's a stretch. Tell me why I'm wrong.
I don't want to tell you you're wrong, because I really hope you're right. Especially now that I live in TN now, so it will make this show a lot easier to get to.

I can't say that the people who wrote this clue know anything more about biblical interpretation than you do, but "son of man" is ~generally~ said about Adam, and hasn't ever been said (in the bible, clearly) about Jesus.
(edit: when it's used to refer to someone specific at all. usually it's just a way to refer to mankind itself)
I'll take a stab in the dark...not that I'm a fan, but this is what came to mind... Rising son of man= Adam (lambert) / Adam (young) Future was less certain= American idol... / break from owl city Human contact is gone= Freddie mercury being dead...hasnt Adam been touring with queen lead singing? / owl in owl city Again, just a couple possibilities to add to the endless others
It's not gonna be Japandroids when the first two words of the clue are "rising son".
Does anyone else read the first line like a combination thing? "Rising s(u)n" + "Son of Man", meaning Japanese + Jesus or some other thinking along this line. It's a classic "Before and After" style setup, that first line.

Tom Petty (who has already been predicted to play) 1. Rose from his abusive alcoholic father 2. When he sued the record label for the "Damn the Torpedoes" album, no one knew if he would make it out of that and become succesfull again 3. After "DTT", he had "The Las DJ" album talking about about how the people (humans) don't control the radio or music anymore, its the music industry exects and he says, "There goes the last human voice"
Bonnaroo is supposed to be all about the people and the music they want to hear. I think its a good fit

This could very easily be Petty, Bowie, or Japandroids.... OR ALL THREE
Definitely Japandroids. There are a couple of quotes on the band's Wiki that hammer home line two referring to them.
"by the fall of 2008, King and Prowse had become convinced that the band was going nowhere, and mutually decided to call it quits at the end of the year."
"Frustrated by label interest only after they had decided to break-up, King and Prowse reluctantly agreed to continue Japandroids temporarily, and began performing live again"
It also seems like the first line of each haiku is directly referring to the band's name, as it was for the Animal Collective and Tame Impala clues.
Probably not, but these could all be referring to David Bowie...
Rising Son of Man: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust - the human manifestation of an alien that came to earth from mars to deliver a message of peace, love and hope. This persona also launched bowie's career.
Future was less certain: Diamond Dogs - the product of two distinct ideas: a musical based on a wild future in a post-apocalyptic city, and setting George Orwell's 1984 to music.
Human contact is gone: Major Tom - an fictional astronaut who cuts off contact with Ground Control and slips the bonds of the world to journey beyond the stars.
Urban dictionary rising son & you'll find military poetry & Wu-Tang Clan's name in there.
Future is less certain deals with the large number of members & their solo projects, etc & the chances of them getting back together in the future are slim due to the individual success of all the members.
Human contact is gone deals with the death of ODB.
