Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Phish (2 Shows) Beastie Boys Nine Inch Nails David Byrne Wilco Snoop Dogg Erykah Badu Ben Harper and Relentless7 The Mars Volta TV on the Radio Yeah Yeah Yeahs Gov’t Mule Andrew Bird Merle Haggard MGMT moe. Girl Talk Bon Iver Rodrigo y Gabriela Galactic of Montreal Animal Collective Neko Case Santogold Kaki King Grizzly Bear Crystal Castles Yeasayer
This is by far the most bands I've wanted to see immediately off the initial lineup. Awesome, awesome lineup.
Anyone else surprised to see MGMT on the lineup? If I had to pick a band to return it would not be them, I thought there performance last year was pretty lackluster.

Considering this is from TV on the Radio's Myspace, I'd say it's pretty legit; and while there are some damn great bands on there, unfortunately that's not enough to get me back to the farm.

Someone who claimed they had info, said that Wilco would headline Thursday night. This was two days ago. Take it for what's it's worth. Seems Superfly keeps trying new things (Main Stage Late Night), so maybe a real Thurday headliner this year?
That alone is enough to give me the excitement I didn't have before.
But that said, I sort of hope this isn't the lineup, just because I don't like having my surprise ruined. If this is it, we're all so unsure about it that we can't REALLY get excited. But then if this is what it looks like when it comes out, we already saw it so it's not a big surprise then. Buuut I'm just weird.
This. Their 07' show was pretty much the biggest surprise of all my bonnaroos, they ROCKED! What a sick cover of The Weight.

My source was 100% correct Springsteen with 2 nights of Phish, but other than that this is the most diverse lineup i have seen and I am not blow away by it but am somewhat happy. The conflicts are gonna blow.
I'd imagine Phish would late night one night. Maybe on the main stage, who knows.
I really don't see Phish doing a late night. If they're a big enough draw to headline and fill the 80K main stage, they'd completely overpower the other stages on a late-night set. Even if it was in the main field, I think Superfly is smart enough to know that a ton of the people who would go this year are Phish fans - and that a late night Phish set would pretty much leave the other stages very sparse.
I don't know - there could be a lot of people who are "just going to check them out" and will see someone else if they know they're going to get a headline set from them at another time.
awesome lineup....seems like a lack of reggae and smaller hiphop artists, though maybe I just don't recognize some....No real punk either, though not a huge surprise....wish Black Keys were on there....was going to see them this weekend, but had family stuff come up

If I was seeing Phish headline I would be elsewhere when they played latenight, especially considering it will probably be against someone like TMV. I think if TMV was playing against Phish latenight and that was Phish's only show, I would still go to TMV.
