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!!
Some of you may remember me as a semi-regular around here last year in the months leading up to 'roo '06. Sorry I disappeared on you for so long, but I'm back now, and I could really use a little help from my Inforoo friends
I'm trying to establish myself as the resident music festival "expert" at a new website I'm writing articles for (weHow.com). So far, the emphasis has been on Coachella, but soon I'll be turning my attention towards Bonnaroo, and you'll be seeing a lot more of me around here, digging for more info...
I just wrote an article comparing Coachella and Bonnaroo, and I'd love for you guys to read it and let me know what you think. Let me know if there's any part you disagree with or if there's anything I left out. I'd especially love to get feedback from people who have been to both 'roo and Coachella.
and while you're at it, feel free to read some of my other articles I've written. So far, they all are about Coachella, but some of the info could easily pertain to the 'roo as well... Click here to read my other articles
id say maybe make it clear that camping in the roo parking lots is on grass. parking lot gives me the image of caming at a walmart or soemthing. maybe thats just me though.
also last year bonnaroo did have music during the headliners on friday and saturday. so there was that option. i had to miss art vandalay and tishamingo to see radiohead. glad i did in the end!!!
one of the few articles ive read comparing the 2 that kept it clean and based on facts, yet still made it clear that roo was far superior!!! ;D
As someone else who has taken to a bit of writing over the past few months, I enjoyed your article and think what you're doing is great! It's difficult to discuss these two festivals without wading through all the labels, genres, and stereotypes -- I think you struck a fair balance.
Looks good man - I couldn't think of anything you left out. I did notice the "parking lots doubling a camping areas" kind of leaves it open to interpretation as to what you'd be camping on. All in all a good article - and good luck with the writing!

Good article, Kampy. From your info, it seems abundantly clear that Bonnaroo is the superior festival. You've reinforced my long-held beliefs....thank you.

as an angeleno about to go to my first bonnaroo it was good to hear about the differences in heat!! thanks for writing the article-- it gave me a good sense of the vibe and made me really stoked to go to bonnaroo!!
Hope to see you all around here more often as soon as my Coachella stuff tapers off. Tonight we're having a party at a cool wine bar in LA to promote my Coachella articles and we have open bar from 8-10pm and we're giving away a 3-day pass for Coachella. Should be crazy!!!
Great article- I always though Coachella was more of an industry showcase type thing, kinda like a SXSW for the public. Anyway, pardon my ignorance, but can you give me an example of "shoegazer"? Thanks!

Shoegazer would be bands like Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor, or Bedhead.
