Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
This was inspired by Ka Mai's rankings under the Woodstock thread. My rankings are based on how much fun I had - not necessarily the quality of the music (as you can see by Coventry's high ranking).

Edit: Oh yeah I don't know if I'd call it a festival but the NAMM Convention in California was the coolest thing ever.It'd be my # 1 but like I said it's not really a festival. Rock stars just walking around checking out new gear and doing demos. Santana was just walking around looking at guitars. Stevie Wonder, Billy Corgan, I got to see Jake Cinninger demo a guitar 2 feet from me. Got invited to a private party at HoB with Ryan Shaw playing with free heineken all night. Saw moe. and Soulive play a concert a mile from my hotel, awesome weekend, maybe best ever.
"We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, movie gods, and rock stars. But we wont, and we're slowly learning that fact & we're very, very pissed off......."

haven't really been to many, but here ya go:
1. Bonnaroo 2007 2. Bonnaroo 2005 3. Austin City Limits 2006 4. Tall Stacks 2006 - some bands that played were Wilco, Tea Leaf Green, MMW, Dr. John, Buddy Guy, Ollabelle, Blind Boys of Alabama, Ralph Stanley 5. Midpoint Music Fest (last weekend in September in Cincinnati, sort of like a midwestern SXSW) 6. CincyPunk Fest (local fest started by my brother)
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
I really need to get to All Good some year. I feel it's kinda wrong that I live in WV and have never been to this festival, yet I've been to Roo 3 times.
Anyway, my top 6:
Bonnaroo 2006 - Radiohead, Oysterhead, MMJ, Tom Petty, GRAB
IT 2003 - Phish
15th Annual Bridge School Benefit 2001 - (All acoustic) Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Ben Harper, REM, Billy Idol
Lollapalooza 2007 - Just for having Modest Mouse and Pearl Jam on the one day I could go.
Bonnaroo 2007 - Ben Harper, Flaming Lips, White Stripes, Wolfmother, Tool
20th Annual Bridge School Benefit 2006 - (All acoustic) Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Trent Reznor
1. Phish NYE2000 (nothing can compare to 7 plus hours of phish) 2. bonnaroo 03 3. Phish Lemon Wheel 4.bonnaroo 04,05 5.Phish Oswago Campout- a 2nd stage with Son Seals,Del McCoury and other playing before Phish to me it was the first model for bonnaroo and I have to add The Poppy Mountain Bluegrass Festival in Ky. full of moonshine and craziness.

1. Hornings Hideout 2004--SCI, keller, Xavier Rudd, Hamsa Lila, Zilla, and STS9 2. Bonnaroo 2003--my first 'Roo and the Dead performance was mesmerizing 3. ACL 2003--was living in Arizona at the time. Came to austin for it and fell in love with Austin. 4. ACL 2004--Trey's show was one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced. 5. ACL 2005 and Bonnaroo 2004---Allmans, Mule, Black Crowes all in one day. 'Roo 2004--maybe I'll find that lost birkenstock this year. By now it should be like one of the dinosaurs in the tar pits....
