You think that superfly and ac, might have a lot of stuff going on, with trying to use the land for other events, that bonnaroo might not get as much time/money put into it?
I guess it's possible they could divert some time/money to other pursuits, but Bonnaroo is their flagship event, I doubt they'll focus too much on anything else (except probably Vegoose) until it's over.
It's funny the ideas that get into people's heads when there aren't any announcements. This year, AC/Superfly booked the Police, bought the farm and possibily increased the amount of acts playing Bonnaroo by 20%.
That is to say, no...I highly doubt not releasing an additional act for a month means they have decided to throw all their funding into a few late night shows at Jazzfest.

I live in Manchester/Tullahoma. It is true, as per the newspaper article that came out when AC/Superfly bought the land ($8,600,000), that they said they intendend to use the land for other events besides Bonnaroo? That is not rumor.
Anyone have any idea what kind of events they plan to put on?
I am excited about all of the infrastructure improvements they will be able to make with the property now. Bonnaroo will only get better.
Anybody have any hunches about these "other events"?

I teach at CCCHS. I live on the Manchester side of Tullahoma close to Short Springs.
I work in "Operations" at Bonnaroo.
I am nearly peeing in my pants waiting for June to get here. People wouldn't understand what it is like to have Bonnaroo in their town/backyard/county would they? Every year!!!!!!!
I have worked at every Bonnaroo in some capacity or another and have NEVER paid to get in....YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
I know a little bit about living in a smallish town that expands by tens of thousands once or twice a year. I grew up in Darlington, SC and I can't explain the excitement in the air that week before the "stock car" races, now NASCAR. I grew up in the 50's when it was just getting started and it grew by leaps and bounds every year. I don't go to the races, now, but the excitement is still there with all the fans coming in for their "bonnaroo" experience. When I was younger and went to the races, I never paid either.

Word!!
I live close enough to the site that we get guest passes every year...Free tickets to roo is like the highlight of my life!!
are you from the darlingston springsteen wrote about in darlington county?
hmmm....could be. There aren't many Darlingtons that are in Darlington county. I have never heard of a visit from him though. I left town for about 15 years after I graduated from HS, though, so I could have missed him!

I live one town over from Bristol, TN, which just had a race this past weekend. I work in Bristol and have to drive through the traffic of all the people coming into town for the races. After living in this area for about 2 yrs. now, I'm still amazed how early people start to camp out for it...imagine people showing up 2 weeks early for Bonnaroo to get a good spot!

Everyone working at AC/Superfly are now filthy rich BECAUSE of Bonnaroo. Nothing else. They will never divert their attention from the best music festival in America!

I'm in Charlotte so I know about huge NASCAR crowds. I've often thought that it would be a much funner experience if they had some good bands
NASCAR is like a redneck bonnaroo. (I mean that in the nicest way possible, of course)
you know, i've had this mental block at understanding what the attraction is to nascar fans and i think you've just helped me get past it with that statement. it explains so much
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!

Hey alyroo
I'm in Charlotte too...on the border of Concord about 2 mins from Lowes Speedway...
I've been to two races with my redneck dad (bless his soul) and its hard to explain what goes on..
about 1-2 weeks before the race, RVs show up. By the day of the race its ridiculous..and talk about sponsorship..every company has a tent ...they give away everything from tums to grill spray.... bands play, the have simulators, movie tents, carnival type games...
it really is the redneck bonnaroo..karma for the comparison

I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to...
