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!!
Dude, Farm Aid is not held in the same place every year. I can assure you there is a reason why Willie Nelson was at this year's Bonnaroo and it wasn't just so he could perform at 'Roo. Superfly has been courting Farm Aid for some time. They haven't been able to actually land the event, but they have landed a couple of their organizers--Dave Matthews and Willie Nelson being the two that I know of.
Just in case you are interested, here is a link to where every past Farm Aid was held:
Dude, I guess I am just an idiot then. Using your convoluted logic, I suppose that Led Zeppelin is playing next year, never mind that one of the ex members "scouted it out" last year. I suppose there is going to be a gigantic bluegrass fest because Allison Krauss has scouted, country fest cause Emyllou Harris scouted, Full House reunion cause the Olsens were there, Rap fest because Cypress Hill, Kanye, De La Soul, J5 etc... has scouted.
Oh, the theme park rumour MUST be true because they had a ferris wheel for the last two years.
Duh, what was I thinking.
Cook me up some eggs while you are at it.
Aside from all the sarcastic "your wrong I am right" BS, I think what is most important here, and what you failed to mention, Bob, is that you made the comment "Why would they move Farm Aid" when all along Farm Aid has moved every year to different location.
No sarcastic answers for that one, huh? Yeah, you were wrong about something for once......
And BTW: the Farm Aid rumor I heard was recently. Not along with the same batch of rumor BS we have been getting every year since year one. Ya know, being at the very first roo does not make you special. Alot of people were there, including myself, yet we arent constantly telling everyone about it!

^^^^^^roof, what you are saying DOES make sense, but do you really think they would move Fan Fair/CMA fest out of Nashville??? It would be a Country Music travesty. It would be nice to see more fests come to GSP and they WILL but I can't imagine the CMA fest moving

Good lord, chill out. I didn't know that they moved Farm Aid every year. Now I know; furthermore I didn't dispute it. The Farm Aid thing is oooooold.
YOU as a local should know that this is among the oldest of rumours. Maybe it will happen, and that would be cool but there is no law against being skeptical.
Going to every every Bonnaroo doesn't make me special. Being involved, though in no great way, with every one does give me and you and a rare handful of others, a unique perspective on the fest and a broader view of it's evolution.
I won't dumb myself down for you or anyone else and it doesn't make me a know-it-all.

Bob,
Farm Aid may be the oldest rumor, but that's only because everyone knows that Superfly has been killing to get Willie Nelson to 'Roo since Year 1 and has been seriously courting Farm Aid now even moreso since acquiring the property. Other events was something Superfly had in their master plan when they bought Sam McAllister's property.
The thing that makes the Farm Aid issue more plausible than what you've heard before is because Farm Aid is the kind of event that Manchester can identify with. Everyone knew Six Flags was a completely bogus rumor. Manchester is a town of less than 10,000 residents. Six Flags does not build themeparks in towns that small. Everyone knew how outlandish that claim was.
Farm Aid is not only believable, but a very real possibility where what you may have heard in the past regarding the 'Roo property was not.
Also, I agree about the CMA's. There's no way the Country Music Festival moves from the birth city of country music.
