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 just discovered pandora has a new feature called the music festival guide. For those of you who don't know pandora is free internet radio, and it is the shit. This new feature allows you to listen to a Bonnaroo 2009 station that plays music from all the artists on this years lineup!
So if you're too lazy to download and create a Roo 09 playlists or explore the different acts that you haven't heard of I'd recomend checking it out. Personally I'm a huge fan.

if you check the artist directory someone posted a link to an internet radio from slacker.com that plays all artists attending bonnaroo this year. it's worth checking out.

Wow i had no idea pandora had that option. I like using pandora but was frustrated that i couldnt use it to get ready for bonnaroo music. Glad to find out that pandora does in fact have a bonnaroo station
Thanks a lot for the info man. I'll hit you up with some karma when i can because this has been a real help

I have a blackberry and you can download a slacker app and you can have the playlist where ever you go! I love it. You can also type in say "phish" and it will play songs from phish and other bands that relate to them. Pretty cool.

Pandora does the exact same thing, you can create "stations" by entering a few of your favorite artists or songs and it will play those songs mixed in with other related songs/artist. You can also download an app to your phone or ipod to listen to pandora anywhere you want.
I suppose its just a matter of personal preferance, I've never used slacker.com so I can't really say which is better, regardless there's two great resources for listening to Bonnaroo music without having to create your own playlist!

I tried out slacker and I noticed there were commercials thrown in the mix. I'm hoping it's just because I didn't create an account and just followed the link. Is there a way to turn these off?
Thats one of the main reasons I love Pandora as much as I do: there are no advertisements interrupting the music...

dude the commercials on slacker are like 30 seconds at the most, and are usually for slacker radio.. if you can't take that then i feel sorry for your attention span . there's usually like 15-20 minutes of music, a 15 second ad, and then more music. the service has to be funded somehow.

I forgot what the commercial was for but it definitely wasn't for slacker, I know they only come on every 15-20 min but if you skip a song or two then its really more like every 5-10 minutes.
It has nothing to do with my attention span I just don't like commercials. I have to put up with them on tv, regular radio, bill boards, flyers, etc. So when I can avoid being inundated with people trying to get me to buy stuff then I do whenever possible.
I understand their is no such thing as a "free lunch" but they already have large flashing advertisments on the web page beside the music player to begin with. Pandora gets away without sneaking in advertisments between songs so I know its possible to have my cake and eat it too.
To each their own! thanks ITM you've been johny on the spot with helpful information lately, but I think I'll stick with pandora
