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!!
As much as I wish that was true, I doubt it. Too much time and effort and they seem to really be into Outsidelands Festival. They will do fests on the farm though. Just not Bonnaroo. This I am sure of.
Crunchy for yor avatar. (as soon as I can.)

Bleary-Eyed Bonnawook Inforoo's Waffle Czar & Baron Von Hipster
Didn't they already try this with Bonnaroo NE and it didn't work out?
Like Garageland said.....it was the venue not Roo that backed out. My friend and his dad had tickets before I knew what Roo was and told me about how they had to cancel. The area didn't want an influx of hippies and druqs and stuff like that........too bad cuz it woulda brought a lot of money to the area.
edit: actually what I said above isn't entirely true. it's something I heard...... but Apparently a lot of things went into this getting canceled.
the lineup was looking rather sweet tho......here it is below:
2003 Bonnaroo NE Confirmed Artists:
The Dead (2 Nights) Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Bob Dylan Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers The String Cheese Incident Ween Gov't Mule Medeski Martin & Wood moe. Les Claypool's Frog Brigade Yo La Tengo Talib Kweli Rusted Root Soulive North Mississippi Allstars Yonder Mountain String Band Disco Biscuits Cut Chemist Grandaddy X-ecutioners Kings of Leon Los Amigos Invisibles
I mean look at this. Tom Petty,Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds,Bob Dylan & The Dead,String Cheese Incident, Ween, Gov't Mule, Medeski Martin & Wood, moe., Les Claypool's Frog Brigade, North Mississippi Allstars, Yo La Tengo, Rusted Root, Soulive, Yonder Mountain String Band, Talib Kweli, Disco Biscuits, Cut Chemist, Grandaddy, X-ecutioners, Kings of Leon, and Los Amigos Invisibles.
On an ironic note Field Day happened,they moved it to Giant Stadium and it was only one day ... But it happened. Too bad they chucked the idea on Bonnaroo NE.
EDIT: Oops. ITM beat me to it!

I live about 25 minutes from where Bonnaroo NE was supposed to be. Actually had purchased tickets to both Field Day (which was another incredible lineup with Radiohead, Blur, Beasties, Beck...) and Roo NE. Even went to the town meeting where they were deciding whether or not to allow Field Day to take place. The locals were really afraid of the crowds, traffic, etc. and to be honest Roo 02 I believe had a lot of logistical problems (before they figured out how to handle everything). These concerts being cancelled (I know about Field Day at Giants Stadium-completely different thing to me) was tremendously disheartening.
bonnaroo in this area would be the nuts. the biggest thing is finding out how to go 1000 miles, if it were right here i wouldnt know what to do.
It should be mentioned that the NE stood for NorthEast, not New England. I had tickets to go, too, but could not for the life of me figure out why they were calling it New England and holding it on Long Island!!! Either way, still much closer than Manchester!!!!
Oh, it was also being held a few weeks earlier than Roo proper. I wonder if this rumoured new Roo is alleged to be held at a more reasonable time of year, weather-wise? Like October or November! I could stand a cool and even a rainy festival if I new in advance what the weather was like instead of hot & sunny --> gusty winds and pissing --> cloudy and reasonable --> snowy with a chance of volcanoes.

Sorry to hijack the thread.
I went to that Field Day. The thought of seeing Radiohead, Spiritualized, MMJ, and what ended up being my last time seeing Elliott Smith was too much o just let it go. While in the long run I'm glad I went at the time it was one of the worst days of my life. The rain was the absolute hardest I had ever been in. But all worth it for the day that I fell in love with MMJ. Looking back at it I'm glad I went. Would have loved to have had a camping festival for it.
That said, I have a hard time believing that there will be two Bonnaroos in a year. There will be multiple festivals,but only one Bonnaroo.

A guy that I know said that he heard from this dude that like lives right next door to the arches that works for clear channel and HE said that when he was getting some coffee he overheard some chick talking to JOHN FUCKING LENNON on the phone! He's planning a comeback tour with Slayer and Neil Diamond. Oh MAN, I hope they play bonnaroo!

IDK guys......I'd kinda enjoy having two christmases a year......or two birthdays a year......two bonnaroos could be okay?
It would suck just because I wouldn't be able to go to both. wouldn't be able to afford it or get the time off work. It would be weird having two roos a year. we'll see what happens with this.

Yeah, when exactly would a second Bonnaroo be held anyway? The months of (at least) November, December, January and February are right out. Too cold here in TN during those months. The month before and after June couldn't be used either because then both "Bonnaroos" would be way too close together. That cuts up more than half the year right there.
I could definitely see something like Goldevoice has with Stagecoach where a completely different crowd would be drawn to the farm either shortly before or after Bonnaroo, but why would would they do two Bonnaroos where they have to find different headliners and performers to play within months of each other to smaller crowds (logically, as many people would come to one or the other but not both) when the festival circuit is already reaching a critical mass in this country. Bonnaroo is one of the best festivals and most recognized names in festivals in the US, so why would they water down their franchise?
This sounds ridiculous. Perhaps your friend heard about the possibilities of other festivals being held on the GROUNDS of Bonnaroo and got confused?
Think about it.
Either way I'm sure we can come up with 30 pages of reasons why this isn't true to maybe one page why it would be plausible.

I hope not. As I think someone said above, half of Bonnaroo for me was the journey. The 13 hour drive to the farm. Me and friends drivin straight through, being delirious when we get there at an unreasonable hour. And just yelling WE'RE HERE. NY wouldn't be a journey at all

I for one would love two Bonnaroos a year. I would say October would be a great month, especially near Halloween. With another Bonnaroo I would not have to have Bonnaroo stuck in my head a whole year before I get my Roo fix. Man I I need some Bbbonnarooo. I miss it.
One, it could be the Phish-O-Ween that's coming up. We still don't know the location.
Two, AC/Superfly might try to have a different festival that would appeal to a different crowd(Country, Mainstream, Christian). They could do that in the week before or after 'Roo and do it cheaply as most of the expenses could be spread over the two fests.
It is obvious that AC/Superfly is promoting the site for other festivals, maybe they'll just do more themselves, after all they don't have to pay rent.
