And I'm guessing they're being shady and making it sound like there's more options when they're actually taking away the really late night centeroo sets... ok I can understand the issue now
I've been saying it since I had my first kid but this really may be the year that I stop going to Bonnaroo. Despite all of the amazing memories, it seems more and more like they are working harder and harder to make the festival less special and less worth all of the work that goes into attending.
I don't know, I left centeroo late night 2012 and wandered into pod 2 where super tall Paul was playing. That was like my 2nd greatest bonnaroo experience. If there's more of these random late night performances in random plazas spaced out among the campgrounds I can live with it... as long as centeroo stays open late and doesn't close at like 1 or 2 am
Honestly, if its done right, it has a ton of drakeing potential
So a lot of us have basically assumed that these new "plazas" they are building are basically there to replace late night shows. But wouldn't it be much cheaper to allow artists to play past 3am? I just don't understand the logic in doing this. I also don't know how I feel about people leaving Centeroo late in the night to go party in the campgrounds.
More security, medics, volunteers, and eyes on the campgrounds....
I wonder if they struggle to find acts that actually want to play a 2-4 or 3-5AM time-slot? Doesn't seem ideal to me if I'm on a long tour.
Umphrey's got cut off at 3am when they definitely would have played for longer.

Young kids are tough to coordinate around, but it gets easier once they are 4+
I like the idea of additional offerings in the pods but i dislike the idea of an extra police presence in the campgrounds.
If Bonnaroo isnt smart about the police... that could be a problem they cant shake
The police presence was pretty awful this year. I usually just hear stories and never witness anything myself but this year was different. When I was working pre-show one of my neighbors got busted in their campsite by some cops in a red pickup truck who were driving by. They just happened to have their bowl out in the open and ended up getting searched. This was before Bonnaroo even started, there were like 500 of us camped out, I don't even know what those cops were doing there. Then on Wednesday I was chilling with TRANTER INDUSTRIES and one of his neighbors got busted. The cop ended up taking the dude's car. I didn't see anything after that so maybe once Bonnaroo really gets started it's not as bad.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Logic. His lyrics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the lines will go over a typical listener’s head. There's also Logic’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realize that they're not just bangers- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Logic truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the meaning in Logic’s existencial hit song “1-800-273-8255“, which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Logic’s genius unfolds itself on their loudspeakers. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Logic tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
What is the story behind the cut and paste Rick and Morty"meme"anyway?

Luckily for me, my wife understands my Bonnaroo addiction. We met there, though she lost interest in the endeavor long ago. We were able to make it work with our first, who is turning four next month, but with another one on the way this Spring it would be tough. Add to it the festival rapidly increasing in cost, decreasing in quality and remaining fourteen(ish) hours away and that's some tough math to work out. My streak may end at fourteen.

i just don't see the plazas being a replacement for actual late night shows. yes i know late nights have been truncated in the past couple years but i can't see them ending before 3 (or after). 3 seems to be the time they're going for to me and will stick with that as far as stuff in centeroo goes

There's a pretty consistent pattern to how the police approach Bonnaroo on the drug front, but I prefer not to break it down on a public forum....
I actually don't think it's changed much in the past ~4 years that I've been going. Same kinds of stories each and every year... people need to realize that there is a stark contrast in what you can do in and out of Centeroo. If you are at your campsite doing something with illegal substances, you need to be in your tent pretending the police are looking for you.
But this is what worries me about the Plazas... one drug bust at a Plaza at 3am and the entire concept is dead along with a story that will shake a lot of future roovians from attending. I honestly wonder if Bonnaroo has thought about this as I believe police have more or less free rein in the campgrounds.

I'm in the same boat, just add another hour of travel since I live in Rochester. I have a 16 month old and we're planning for number two to come sometime in 2019. My wife just cant justify using our vacation days and yearly sitter allowance (is that a thing?) on Bonnaroo. But, I do have the ability of attending without her. It would have to be a killer lineup and something that I can sell fairly easily.

Newborn in the spring is definitely tough.... I'm out of the woods on the newborn front... and it's pretty interesting because we're now talking about what will we do when the kids are old enough to go to Bonnaroo.... I hope we don't raise Other Stage kids, lol
I wonder if they struggle to find acts that actually want to play a 2-4 or 3-5AM time-slot? Doesn't seem ideal to me if I'm on a long tour.
True for some acts. If I'm Alice Cooper and I'm playing a casino in Biloxi at 8pm the next night maybe I don't want to take the stage at Bonnaroo at 2am.
But a late night slot shouldn't be unusual for most DJs, plenty of EDM or electronic focused festivals go until the morning, with the headlining slots often starting at 4am.

I would actually do presale if we had real confirmations on Fleetwood Mac and Jay. I just have a feeling that Jay will be the rumor that ends up wrong and we end up with something like FM, Chainsmokers, Killers, LDR, Future, Odesza

We are very similar. mrs. snowman loved it a few years ago, only LCD got her back in '15. Last year our oldest was four, and we added another in april. the lineup just didn't make the logistics worth it. and I even had a free ticket.
