I was curious, is there even a point to bring a rain jacket? I'm thinking it would be better to indulge and get soaked.. I'm thinking with such intense heat, who'd want to wear a semi-breathable rain coat?
What are your plans to deal with the rain, if any comes?
Definitely bring a poncho, they don't take up much space and are fairly cheap. You're right that sometimes it's best to just bask in the rain and let the sun dry you off. But if it rains at night when it's cool out, the poncho will be good to have.
On a similar note, bring some trash bags to sit on if the ground in Centeroo gets soaked.

After the rain of 2004 I did break down and buy some rain gear and some boots. They have come in handy. If you own some of this and have the few inches in the car, take it.
Where is the best place to buy a pair of cheap boots?
I saw rainboots/galoshes at Wally World fairly cheap, like $15. I'll bring a pair if significant rain is in the forecast. No matter what I'll be bringing a lightweight and breathable rain jacket I got from a bike shop. It packs down to next to nothing and I just leave it in the bottom of my camelbak, just in case.
Last year, the Coleman booth gave out free, cheapo rain ponchos. I wandered by there on Thursday night and picked one up, just in case. They really don't cost more than a few dollars in the store, so you might want to pick one up beforehand (in case Coleman doesn't have them this time around, at the 'Roo). I saw that my Target stocked them, just this week.
You can pick up Coleman rain ponchos - nice and folded in a little bag - small enough to fit in a back pocket - from Wal-mart and Target for about $1.00 each
Rain or not, Tennessee is hot (like the rhyme?). I highly recommend bringing some shoes/boots that can keep your feet dry. I also advise bringing one of those cheap plastic ponchos in case it's a bit chilly outside.
However, for the most part, being out in the rain will be nice. If you're a guy, just wear some swimming trunks and boots/weatherproof shoes and you should be fine. If you're a girl, you may wanna wear a top (though as I learned from last year's Roo, that isn't always necessary). Seeing a concert, going nuts and getting soaked is a bunch of fun.
