I was planning on going to the Roo this year again. I always buy the VIP tickets in order to get out of the slop that is a NAZI concentration camp. However with the massive dissapointment that is the Bonnaroo lineup not being released I think im just going to cash in my chips and do Coachella and Outside lands. No offense to Bonnaroo, but if you want people to fork over $1,400 and then throw in plane fare and spending money all in all were talking $2,300 or $2500 for my girl and I to go. I'm more then willing if I have a few months, but seriously! Best case the lineup comes out next tuesday the 9th and then tickets go on sale the 12th.. I mean that only leaves about 14 weeks to get everything paid for and $2,500 in 14 weeks with bills and a mortage isnt easy... anyways last year the lineup came out nice and quick and it was easy to make a decision on it. Sad to say that I just cant hold out any longer on this cat and mouse game that is Roo and Ill just buy the other two festival packages
So 1 week difference between last years lineup announcement and this years' lineup announcement and you aren't gonna go? You couldn't start saving now and if the lineup is bunk just use that money for Coachella? That makes zero sense.

No problem... I mean I only work for sixth man productions... so obviously I don't know what the fcuk I'm talking about. Oh and PS... you might want to read my write up I did on Bonnarro last year in SPIN magazine. (Whom I no longer work for) I'm only telling you what I know from the concert business. I've worked in it for over ten years now. I most likely see more shows in a month then you see all year. The beauty of living in New York City is that we get to see every artist in the world come through. Compared to your east bum-a-fuck town that you have to drive an hour to go see a D-rate show. PS... Bonnaroo '99 was a play at sarcasm. In case that word is too big for you, let me explain it so you understand. Lets say you love shooting deer, like I know you do. You tell me some massivly detailed information about your past time and I reply with a outlandish (Fake) comment to point out to you how stupid you really are coming off. The fact that you get so pissed off over a statement meant as a passing comment towards your intellectual competence shows how fcuking seriously you take the facts given to you over a concert! Anyways, have fun I'll be waving form VIP... oh and this will be my fifth Bonnaroo so the only thing that's comes off as a "nub" is your interactions with the opposing gender.
Why don't you just ask the production company or Spin magazine who is gonna be there LOL!!!

I think the 2/2 date was just wishful thinking. I do not remember AC giving much a heads up in the previous years. It does usually come out after/right before superbowl though.
That being said, AC did say the lineup release was going to be different this year, so we can not really go by anything from previous years.
I don't remember hearing that the lineup release was going to be strikingly different, but if it is they could do a mid-day announcement or really god knows what. Which unfortunately means i can't leave my desk until i see something real. (could be days) I'm sure my professors will understand...

Nope. The 2/2 date came from CoS. They reported that the lineup would come out that day and then took down the page because they were asked to. That date wasn't just wishful thinking. There's a reason for it.

Even DJJD thought it was gonna be announced on the 2nd. He tweeted about it being delayed a week.
Anyone have any ideas on how the release will be different. Seems like the only thing anyone can come up with is releasing one headliner a day.
It will say MTV Presents at the top and the headliners will be Britney Spears, The Jonas Brothers, and The Black Eyed Peas. Plus special late night sets from 3OH!3, Katy Perry, and Nickelback
if they DID want to be different, they could give us the late nights or maybe even the days the big names are playing with the initial announcement. i know they never do this, and probably because nothing is in stone, but itd be pretty fackin cool

I was not going to go until you said Nickelback. WOOOOHOOOO.
Unless they start selling single day tickets, there's really no reason business-wise for them to release the day-to-day breakdown. (Of course, Coachella did that this year and they no longer sell single day passes, but it's a tradition for them-- one that might change next year)
I'm not sure if this happened in 2009, but in 2008, superfly announced that MMJ and Lesh would be doing late-night sets a couple weeks (I think) after the Roo lineup release. I thought that was kinda cool. It gave us time to digest the lineup and start speculating about the schedule, but still gave us that vital information so we could start piecing together the rest of the schedule.
Whenever people start complaining about only getting 4 months to plan for Bonnaroo between the lineup release and the fest, I think of Glastonbury, where the fest is usually sold out before the full lineup is released and the schedule isn't widely available until you get there, or Coachella, where they give out the lineup only 3 months in advance and the schedule about a week or two before the fest. That would drive me NUTS!
