Have you seen anything on the lineup before, and thought they were terrific or terrible? Share it with the rest of us. I'll start:
The Tallest Man on Earth: Saw him at last year's Lolla. A bit of a quiet act for a festival, but he still drags a big crowd and rocks harder than you might think. Definitely will see him again
Mumford & Sons: Saw them at Roo '11. Sound was terrible, couldn't hear a thing, but it seemed to be going well for the people up front. Might catch them again, depending on the schedule.
Passion Pit: Saw them at a festival in Mexico last november. They're definitely a lot of fun, even though I wasn't a fan of them back then. Will see them again
Grizzly Bear: Saw them in Mexico City about two weeks ago. Nothing short of amazing, hope they get a long set at Roo, otherwise it might be a bit hard to get into their show if it lasts less than an hour. Must see
Of Monsters and Men: Saw them at last year's Lolla. It was seriously packed and the crowd was crazy. It's a fun act, but not sure I'll see them again, unless there's nothing else going on at that time.
Edward Sharpe: Saw him about two years ago in a mexican festival. Crazy show, great tunes and the frontman goes nuts on stage. Their new album isn't that great though. I think I'll see them
Portugal. The Man: I've seen them about 3 times, first one was at Roo '11, then at Lolla '11, and last time was in a mexican festival last november. They've all been great, especially the last one. Their new lineup might be even better than the original one. They're a must see for everyone.
Foals: Saw them in Mexico City two years ago. One of the craziest shows I've been to. New album's great, as well. Will be catching them at the farm.
Local Natives: Seen them twice, at a mexican festival in 2011 and at that same year's Lolla. First time they were amazing, but at Lolla they were a little bland. New album's great, though, so I will definitely catch them at Roo
Walk The Moon: Seen them twice, at Roo '11 and at Lolla '11. They're a lot of fun, although their cheerful synth-pop might not suit everyone. Will see them again for sure
The Vaccines & Django Django: I saw them both a festival in Spain last July, although I was a bit too tipsy to remember their shows well. They were fun for sure, might see them again

Great idea for a thread! Starting from the Top of the lineup as it appears on bonnaroo.com
The National - I saw them open for Arcade Fire on the Neon Bible tour. I thought they were boring as hell but allot of people like them. I'll probably pass. ZZ Top - Saw them a couple years ago, they were fantastic fun. A do-not-miss on my list. Weird Al - Saw him back in 84(?) on the In 3D tour, w/ Harry Anderson (judge from night court) opening doing magic tricks and stand up. Awesome! Barring a horrible conflict I'll be there. Govt Mule - Saw them a couple of times here in Atlanta, awesome, Warren is a monster and they rock the Quack out. Barring a horrible conflict I'll be there. John McLaughlin - Saw him here in Atlanta like 10 years ago. This man is LEGEND. Though I suspect some people who do not appreciate Jazz may not enjoy it. A do-not-miss on my list. Preservation Hall Jazz Band - Saw em in New Orleans about a year ago, crazy good, very upbeat and fun show. Another Do-not-miss. Calexico - Saw then in Atlanta in 2013 & 2012, Austin in 2011, Roo 2010. They are always awesome, their music can't help but conjure images desert landscapes and tumbleweeds on the lone prairie. A HUGE do-not-miss. Futurebirds - Saw them at Boomslang in KY in 2012. I thuroughly enjoyed it though some in my party thought they were kinda boring. Southern blues rock with allot of soul. Barring a horrible conflict etc.
And I guess that's it...damn I need to get out more.
