I've gathered everything in the OP. I figured I'd post it here, so maybe people won't have to suffer through the disaster of that last page. Let me know if I missed anything or if something should be added/omitted.
Let's try to reach a consensus. It seems Dale JR. JR. has the most "likes" and vocal support so far.
Dale Earnhardt JR. JR.:
-- The octopus has 8 tentacles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove #8, and the radio clue was "race car." " -- Little Drummer Boy could be hinting towards Jr. -- From Detroit, the motor city.
Deadmau5:
-- Joel is a huge car fanatic, participated in Gumball3000 this year. He also sponsors a F1 driver. -- Has a large Cthulhu tatoo on his upper arm. -- Lovecraft inspired songs: "Chtulha Sleeps" and "Rlyeh's Lament." -- Him and his fiance planned a Cthulhu themed "underwater" wedding. Inspired by HP Lovecraft. -- Has a new setup and tour coming next year but it was pointed out that it's 360 -- "Turbo Cartpig Racer" features race car samples.
Dopapod:
-- Their name seems to be a play on the word octopod. -- L-Dopa (L-dihydroxyphenylalanine) is used as a substrate in ink production and serves other functions for Octopi. -- Band name is a palindrome. -- All of their studio album names are palindromes. -- Their live album "I Saw Live Dopapod Evil was I" is a palindrome. -- The album "Never Odd or Even(2014)" has a track called "Sleeping Giant" with several possible Cthulhu reverences. -- That same album's cover has a Lovecraftian like creature emerging out of the side of a mountain, into the sea. The monster is wrapped in it's own tentacles. Raising from it's sleep in a lost city like Cthulhu? Cover pic below...
-- Mark's trademark Octopus design on his bass. (It's also his company logo and on shirt designs.) -- Two members were in a side project called Box Car Racer. -- The little drummer boy could refer to Travis.
Ringo Starr:
-- Wrote and sang Octopus' Garden. -- Could tie in with the Little Drummer Boy music. Being a well-known drummer, etc. -- He sold an ultra rare touring car in 2013, so he apparently owns racing cars.
They Might Be Giants:
-- Octopuses can be, and are often referred to as giant. TMBG has a song "I Palindrome I", which as pointed out, racecar is a palindrome. -- TMBG's tour ends in late May and they aren't playing Nashville or Atlanta. -- An album cover has a squid attacking a whale. Talk that a Bonnaroo intern might not know the difference.
Other guesses that could use more thought:
Modest Mouse: Album called "Sad Sappy Sucker." It includes the track, "Race Car Grin You Ain't No Landmark."
A-Ha: It's a palindrome. They are Norwegian and the kraken (Giant Octopus) is said to live off of the coast there.
Soundgarden: Band has had eight members. Has an EP with a palindrome. Octopus' garden.
Primus: "Jerry was a Race Car Driver" from the album Sailing on the Seas of Cheese. Also, Primus sucks.

Other guesses that could use more thought:
Dopapod: It's a palindrome. Fits with Octopus. Ramsey Bolton will flay me if I don't add it.

Primus: "Jerry was a Race Car Driver" from the album Sailing on the Seas of Cheese. Also, Primus sucks.
Modest Mouse: Album called "Sad Sappy Sucker." It includes the track, "Race Car Grin You Ain't No Landmark."
ABBA -- Sherlock Boner knows Swedish.
well done vän.
I think Dopapod should be in bold. It's the best guess out of them all given the clues.

OK. I was thinking a couple of the bottom ones could use some more research or just get more attention drawn their way. We have seemed to lose track of the palindrome possibility.
And now for a magic trick... I'm going to tell the future and reply to the next post before they are posted...
SilentEyedStorm I had A-Ha added to the OP. Must of erased it while moving things around. It's back!

This isn't really helping, because it's the least likely - members of ABBA are on record as saying they will never reunite.
I'm paraphrasing, but it was something like: 'when old groups get back together it's for a reunion tour because one of them is destitute and the others are willing to help. We don't have that problem; we all have gobs of money'.

I love that my whole Abba suggestion was a joke but the slow dive suggestion took some digging. The dale thing seems legit though

Dopapod:
-- Their name seems to be a play on the word octopod. -- L-Dopa (L-dihydroxyphenylalanine) is used as a substrate in ink production and serves other functions for Octopi. -- Band name is a palindrome. -- All of their studio album names are palindromes. -- Their live album "I Saw Live Dopapod Evil was I" is a palindrome. -- The album "Never Odd or Even(2014)" has a track called "Sleeping Giant" with several possible Cthulhu reverences. -- That same album's cover has a Lovecraftian like creature emerging out of the side of a mountain, into the sea. The monster is rapped in it's own tentacles. Raising from it's sleep in the lost city like Cthulhu? Pic below.
Yes, these last two are really reaching even more then the rest. Boner wanted to explore it and I was bored. I hope I'm wrong, so we can e-mail this to the band for a laugh.

I got a big image so you can see that the monster is rapped in it's own tentacles. Raising from it's sleeping lost city like Cthulha? Yes, these last two are really reaching. Boner wanted to explore it.
So since someone posted in another Roo Clue post that CoS rumored one of the clues for Modest Mouse, I am going to go ahead and state that they have this clue wrapped up as Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. based on reddit this reddit post www.reddit.com/r/bonnaroo/comments/2p9sqm/roo_clue_3/

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is the clear favorite but it has nothing to do with what CoS says. I care more about what my grandmaw thinks of the clues over those hacks.

I agree they are ridiculous but was trying to get movement on the thread (like you and Druid requested), and thought it was humorous. I am really at a loss on this clue.
Radio clue: "Racecar" Could be a hint that a palindrome is involved.
Deadmau5:
-- Joel is a huge car fanatic, participated in Gumball3000 this year. He also sponsors a F1 driver. -- Has a large Chtulla tatoo on his upper arm. -- Lovecraft inspired songs: "Chtulla Sleeps" and "Rlyeh's Lament." -- Him and his fiance planned a Cthulhu themed "underwater" wedding. Inspired by HP Lovecraft. -- Has a new setup and tour coming next year but it was pointed out that it's 360 -- "Turbo Cartpig Racer" features race car samples.

With how straightforward the clues are, I really think you guys are over-thinking this. The obvious answer is the answer. Dale Earnherdt JR. JR. Lock it up.

that's pretty weak.. he also drove 88. i'm sure it will be obvious, but not Jr Jr.

If this does end up being a slightly mistaken reference to They Might Be Giants "Apollo 18" album, part of my head will want to believe it increases our chances of getting a Fingertips performance this time around.
If this is Deadmau5 then our theory of the acts getting bigger with the clues is shot.
It made sense with the theme this year but that's not always been how it works. It usually been mixed with the back end having the majority of bigger acts.
So what is obvious here? Nothing. Given the clues I'm going for Ringo Starr. With Ringo goes his all star band which includes some notables in Rock history such as Peter Frampton and, my personal favorite, Todd Rundgren.
