^^^ It's after the ad break and before the track listing. It's not on Bonnaroo's site, just this guy's blurb. Take it for what it's worth.
It's not exactly a blurb. Absolutepunk.net has been around for a long time and they are usually pretty thorough on fact checking. I get most of my music news from that site.

Wow, I wonder if that's true! That will be around the same time as last year, so it sounds likely, but like garageland said I'm surprised if it's not the usual Wednesday updates. I would have thought the 4th was the likely day for it. But then that would mean midnight the night of the 3rd, so maybe that's it?
I didn't go to the link... but since it's coming from Absolute Punk (which I used to frequent all of the time in high school when I was still in my emo/punk/ska days), does that mean there will be some worthy punk/emo bands on this year's lineup?
I'd love to see The Gaslight Anthem, The Pogues, Dear in the Headlights, Rancid, and Bad Brains on the farm this summer... and they're all touring (eh... not sure about Rancid... but they have a rumored album on the way)

I'd suggest following the link, it really isn't a sign of anything like that.
I think that if in fact we get the lineup on the 3rd we would have more CLUES by now
I dont think so, last year I dont think we got clues until a week or two before the lineup and im expecting to get a large portion of the clues then. I hope im wrong tho, im dying to get some more clues!
I don't believe either one - I just went over the email i received with a fine toothed come and there is no mention of the release date for the line up and then went to Bonnaroo.com and read the information about Bonnaroo 365 and there is no mention there either.
I will believe that we have a date for the announcment when AC/Superfly post it on Bonnaroo.com or they email it to me.
I would imagine it will be on the 4th, and this guy said the 3rd because usually Music industry announcements are on a Tuesday. Bonnaroo stuff is almost always on a Wed., for the past 3 or 4 years anyway.

Yeah, I'm still thinking the 4th. Well, midnight, so the night of the 3rd.
I forget exactly how this went last year - did we have official word of the date before it happened? I know we all knew when it was coming, but we are awfully smart around here and we know a lot of things before they get officially announced! I didn't remember them officially saying when it would be, but maybe I'm wrong.
I don't remember the day it was on last year, but I remember waiting up till Midnight, and 1am my time, just in case the announcement was considering a different time zone, and I didn't see it. I went to bed and woke up the next morning to the news.
i'm still burning from the AP story last year that ran with the headline: LED ZEPPELIN TO HEADLINE BONNAROO..... i basically don't believe anything unless it comes from bonnaroo..... but i reckon this all looks legit.....

This is what I think. It was midnight last year. I remember getting on the internet on my roommates computer and she has Pearl Jam as her home page and it was on there, so I immediately went to Bonnaroo.com and there it was.
It would still be the 3rd in other time zones, just not east coast.
Yeah, the lineup was released midnight last year because I thought I would be able to stay up for it, but that didn't happen. (I'm pretty lame) I think we knew maybe a week or so before it happened?
