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!!
I was wondering if there has ever been a problem with people who come to Bonnaroo just to cause trouble? You know, the idiots that come to get drunk and spoil a good time for everyone else. I'm guessing they would try to 86 that kind of element ASAP! I'm hoping there hasn't been any problems like that, but if so, I would like to know if those in charge took care of the situation and gave them the boot.
Honestly, i haven't really seen that many people that come to cause trouble. There are absolutely a bunch of idiots that come to just get drunk and don't care about anyone else's well-being, but these people are few and far between. Like everyone else says, roo kind of exists as its own planet for that weekend; you don't get the problems you have in normal society. I think the bigger problem is people that just come to sell ilicit goods and don't care about the music or others, only about themselves and making a quick buck. I have no problems with most vendors or the like, just the people that come and care only for themselves.

i think in general, it cost too much and its too much trouble in itself to go to the roo just to cause trouble ... are you going to spend 500 bucks and be in lines for hours just to give someone grief .... sometimes things get out of hand, ws99 a good example, but no i dont think that happens much ... cr****

I have never seen troublemakers, but sometimes there are rude people, and you just have to let them slide because there is just too many cool things going on to choose from , that is just my two cents.

I've met a few pretty rude people. I've camped next to some pretty obnoxious people. I've been screwed by folks selling sh!t. Last year I saw a guy getting BUSTED for stealing glass. (I used all caps to express how hard it was!)
But, after 3 years of Bonnaroo, 99.95% of people are great people! Honest, respectful and laid back people who are only interested in hearing music and making friends! Truly, some of the best folks you'll ever meet! That is, in part, what keeps me coming back every year! If you happen to find a jerk-off, just smile and walk away. You WILL meet very cool people, whichever direction you chose to "walk off" in. GAURANTEED!
Statisticly, this is the largest collection of truly great people you will EVER meet! I promise!

Last year on one of the side areas of shakedown there was actually a guy who had a booth supporting neo-nazism. He was not being passive - he was chanting and screaming at people who went by. It was so bad I thought it was a joke or something at first. It was really depressing. I hope he is not back this year. (granted I know everyone has their own point of view, but if it is merely hate, I wish the guy would have gone about his business without spewing it rudely on everyone else). Did anyone else see this guy?

Yeah most people are cool as hell, if you run into a trouble maker just ignore them and move on. They just want attention anyway and you will be surrounded by 200 more cool people to spread the good vibes with.
I've only been once, last year, and I did not meet a single troublemaker. Maybe a few folks in trouble from over-indulging, but that would be a different thread.
Glad to see I have much to look forward to. I was a bit concerned, not having gone to Bonnaroo before and only having my experiences at other festivals to go by. I feel this festival will forever change my opinion of them, for the better. As for the Nazi dude, you would think, because this is private property, he would have been thrown out. Can't wait to see all of you there. Just look for the rescue green jeep and the rockwood pop up. Oh yeah, and the big inflatable whiskey bottle hanging from a pole. ;D
