Greetings fellow music and "mind-enhancing" enthusiasts. My name is Nardo Marques, I'm a novice comedian living in Orlando, and have attended Bonnaroo three times. When I first attended in 2006 I was in the middle of slowly dropping out of college and also in the middle of quickly picking up an unhealthy appreciation of music.
I returned to the farm this last June after having missed out on the event in 2008. After being back at Bonnaroo again I couldn't resist the urge to get on here and lose myself in geeky speculation along with the rest of you.
Attending Bonnaroo is great because when you show up it's as if somehow the organizers have managed to turn your mind inside out and all your favorite stuff is going on around you.
In honor of the festival that's geeked me out so much over the past years, here's my fantasy/ reasonably plausible lineup for next year so far...
Led Zeppelin Dave Matthews Band Jay-Z Foo Fighters The Flaming Lips Daft Punk Primus The Black Crowes Modest Mouse Kings of Leon The Roots Queens of the Stone Age Sonic Youth The Shins Mos Def Dave Chappelle David Cross Sarah Silverman Mosters of Folk Built to Spill Explosions in the Sky Devendra Banhart Man Man
And yes, I've already made a schedule to go along with it. I wasted plenty of time working out all the conflicts too. But I've wasted enough of your time you can go be bored on another site. Thanks for indulging, see you in 2010.
my girlfriend got a tattoo of former president Bush in a humorously literal location, which I think is great because whenever I want I can really stick it to the man

I gotta say if Roo doesnt get Daft Punk next year there will be an initial dissapointment. I have never hung hopes so high on a band to perform at Bonnaroo. I would get over it pretty quick if it didnt happen but i believe the stars are aligning for a DP show in 2010. In fact if i had to pick 3 bands to put money on to be there next year it would be

For me....the best part about this (if it comes true) is that it would almost be a necessity to put Jim James and Conor Oberst and M. Ward solo sets of their own. I'd love to catch a Monsters of Folk and Jim James set.
I also see Daft Punk sometime soon. If not this year....within the next 3 or 4 years. Same for Muse. I think both are due.

Nice to see the responses. I should've expected geeky comments about my geeky predictions. But I welcome them.
Led Zeppelin is a bit of a stretch, but Bonnaroo has been known to court acts in advance before booking them. John Paul jones was there in 2007 and Robert Plant performed as well in 2008, so they're a bit of a stretch. But no hypothetical lineup would be complete without a longshot act.
And the only reason I put The Flaming Lips a notch above Daft Punk was cause they'd most likely be the late night acts. And while Daft Punk would have a huge presence on the farm, it'd be The Flaming Lips third time playing the festival.
Also, having Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, and Queens of the Stone Age could provide an opportunity for Them Crooked Vultures to pop up on the lineup as well.
