No, this is not another thread about the schedule coming out. I am just curious how close they stick to the actual schedule as far as performance times and acts taking the stage at times scheduled, or do they do the old guns n' roses as close to 9 as axl feels like it thing?

It's pretty strict, you can't have it any other way at festival like this. One exception may be the late night sets where there's nothing on afterwards. Don't expect encores from the undercard.
the headliners are also not reallbound by it - I know that was why I missed Petty last year - got sick of waiting for him to come on and he was 45 min to an hour late on stage - I ggave up - wondered off in search of a space to stretch out and napped until Dr. John
yeah, i left the duo w/ mike show in 05 15 minutes early to get over to dave, they played mikes song, cause it said 8:30 and they didnt even come out til 9.
Usually right on. One major exception was last year. The plan was to watch about an hour of Common before heading over to MMJ. Well Common came on over and hour late which mean we waited for nothing and could have been closer for MMJ. But it was ok because I ended up being able to see Common on that GAP commercial.
everyone is prety strict I thought. we do not know all the stuff that happens backstage as to why people are late coming on stage (as nice as the fesitval flows I am glad we dont know half the confusion that actually happens) but overall it is fine. Was a little upset last year though...wanted to go see some MMW and they were late so we left but on the bright side we got up pretty close for Cypress Hill which was an awsome show.

Most of the shows that i checked out last year started right on time (except Petty), but everyone is right about the late night shows...Some of them may SAY 3....but they aren't stopping until the sun comes up.
I missed last year so I don't know about Petty but count on shows starting on time. the only real delays I've seen was the couple hour delay of everything after the '04 monsoon.

haha, that's funny. karma when I get it back haha.
They stick pretty close (always at or over the time usually by minutes) unless there is nothing after them for a while. The timing has to do with set up and sound check more than anything. so as long as no one needs to use the stage they can go over if they want.

So as a first time roo-goer, correct me if I'm wrong but encores during the day set are more or less nonexistant... right? It doesn't seem like bands ever really play encores during festival, which is sweet cause honestly... what's the point of encores anyways?
depends what you consider an encore....sometimes it could just be them saying thank you and halfway walking off stage and back on...or just a break in the set or songs running overtime....etc.

I don't remember any encores except for the headliners....maybe latenights. I don't think I can recall any late night encores last year. Radiohead had 2 encores....so, that's where you'll probably see them.
so let me take this discussion in a different direction aka what i thought the thread was about from the title haha... how many of you past rooers have stuck to your own schedule of seeing this band and that band? last year i did really well and only missed one of the bands i had wanted to see. my tactic is a little helping of each during schedule conflicts. i decide who i want to see most, and watch the first half of their set, then make my way from stage to stage watching a few songs from each of the other bands... something i will definitely have to do during ben harper/franz ferdinand/keller williams!
I think it really hurts you and the performance when you skip out at the end. or any of it. might as well stay if you only see 1 song from another band.
HEADED TO BONNAROO!!!!
