It would be awesome if any of these were added: The Mars Volta Explosions In the Sky The Flaming Lips Pearl Jam ...And You'll Know Us By The Trail Of Dead The Arcade Fire Dredg Interpol Mogwai The Postal Service
Also, I hope the next artist additions don't push ticket sales over the edge. I'm almost there in funding, but not quite yet.
We have a dredg fan in the house! So good to see you.
I've seen them 4 or 5 times and they've been getting better each time. I think they'd do great with a good 90 minute set and they'd fit in well at bonnaroo - just the kind of fans they need to reach out to. That being said, I still find it unlikely.... so sad...
Dredg fan right here!!! *waves hands wildly in excitement* I would love for them to get a spot, but I just don't see it happening.
Also, I seen this posted on the codetalkers board: "I was talking to Bobby Lee and Tyler after the Murfreesboro show and they both mentioned,independently of each other,that they were playing Bonnaroo.In fact BLR mentioned they were doing 2 sets.A straight up CT set during the day and a late night set that would feature a bunch of guests sitting in.Havent seen anything official yet.I was wondering if anyone else has heard anything."
What happens if my tee shot lands on a bird's back and he carries it out of bounds but then is attacked by a larger bird who grabs the ball and drops it in the hole? Is that still a hole in one? 'Cause that's how I'm gonna play it.

I checked out the codetalkers board and found the info as well.... I certainly hope its true... I doubt they would ever get a 1pm main stage show though... they could possibly pull a late night slot though w/ all the guests they could bring...
an addition should certainly appease the jam community
That Codetalkers news would just make me flip out if true. I really, truly don't need anything added to this lineup but the Col. is truly one of my heroes.
Im still hoping for a Ryan Adams/ Ryan Adams & The Cardinals addition....I think either form would be a great fit for bonnaroo and im pretty sure he has played with phil lesh before among others.

I also read on that message board that the might get a main stage gig(early show) are they big enough to land a main stage slot? I only heard of them since their add to Veagoose last year...so they are fairly new to me.
Well, first and foremost the Codetalkers feature The Col. Bruce Hampton (retired):
If you aren't familiar with him, he is basically the godfather (or maybe just god) of all southern-jam-freakiness. And he used play a mean chazoid, although apparantly he's on guitar now. He has a long history of southern psychedelia. I became aware of him with Aquariam Rescue Unit in the early '90's (although I'm a huge Phishhead, they are quite possibly my favorite jamband and the one I most regret not having seen) with Oteil Burbidge and Jeff Sipe among others. He might have mystical powers.
Not least of all, he was the star of Mike Gordon's film "Outside Out":
And the Codetalkers are badass as well, basically a jamband but with bluegrass leanings (there's a banjo and an upright bass involved). The Col. wears a suit for it, so its got to be important. They killed at Bonnaroo '02. I remember feeling that I had to "get up early" to catch their 2:00 Saturday set. There was no crowd, I was right up front for the whole thing (my first and only time seeing the Col.), and it was one of the highlights of my weekend. There's a track on the "Live From Bonnaroo 2002 Vol. 2" disc called "Body in the Lake", that never leaves my mP3 player. For the last two months its been the only track by a non Roo '06 artist on my Bonnaroo playlist because it just instantly evokes Bonnaroo to me.
If they get added, they will be in my top 5 (or 6 or 7) must sees.

I thought I recognized the face; "the Col." is the guy who played Morris in Sling Blade!
