I was wondering where it was also - what if we don't get any more updates - what if the next thing we hear is the end of the month when they release the schedule?

from an email Hi Mike,
Thanks for your interest in Bonnaroo! I agree that the Mars Volta would be an awesome addition to our festival, and we are definitely keeping that fact in mind. There will be more artist additions added in the upcoming weeks, and they should be good ones. Stay tuned!

Nothing that really sticks out, but if you are looking for a place to to check out, go to Soulard. There are always some pretty good local bands playing. Most of them are cover bands, and then play a couple of original tunes. The past couple of weeks have been awesome for live music in St. Louis, but this weekend doesn't look so good. Keller, STS9, and Umphreys have all been here the past three weekends. I'll keep ya updated if I hear anything good.
I thought all the big namers were already out. Maybe we'll get some actually good additions this week. Not that I can complain, this years line-up is freaking incredible.

I saw that Claypool would be there June 8, I think - sucks that we are not coming then - That way I could get my Claypool fix.

Coachella is over with now so Roo will be in the spotlight more, so now they are going to show everyone their hand that Superfly has been hiding the whole time. I think there are going to be 2 huge additions (mars volta), a crop of smaller bands, and one complete surprise that will have jaws on the floor (a new super band??). Everyone just keep your hopes up, it will happen.

I agree. I think there's room for a couple more huge additions. But only time will tell...............

"You're either on the bus or off the bus." Ken Kesey
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Hunter S. Thompson

Damn it. I just checked my e-mail and it said I won a signed poster from Umphrey's Mcgee but I had to reply within 5 days 6 days ago. I was out of town and couldn't check my e-mail damn it! Why do I always lose...even when I win?

I totally agree with you. Rage Against the Machine was IMO the driving force of the already powerful line up that put the festival in the spot light. Now that the weekend is over I think something big is going to go down.

that is from the mars volta thread in troo music. That was an e-mail received yesterday by an inforoo member. Lets hope our update comes soon. ;D
Oh and I like this, too. Bonnaroo tends to not respond to those kinds of e-mails unless there is a good chance of them being added. This keeps me hopeful.

It seems to me that if the goal to lineup additions is to hype up the festival, having a schedule of updates (or at least regular updates, once every two weeks on a random day, etc.) would keep the hype going. People would know something was coming and be more on the lookout. Not that that applies to nerds like myself who would probably still check on the in between days, but it would seem that more reasonable people would keep up to date better that way.
HEADED TO BONNAROO!!!!
