i dont like the idea of releasing the acts throughout the day. what is the point of causing conversation about the lineup. how does that benefit them?
it benefits them greatly. it's like a study of their target audience. only the hardcore bonnaroo fans know the lineup is coming out tomorrow and will be there to watch it happen throughout the day. by being able to hear the opinions of the ticket-buyers after each artist (or group of artists) then Superfly will be able to better gauge which artists are preferred and which aren't really wanted. it gives them a LOT of feedback about the acts they book. also, it keeps people on the bonnaroo site all day. how does it NOT benefit them?

I agree to a point. The obsessed are already obsessing and those who just want to see the lineup won't engage in the discussion.
But this place will be brimming with discussion over each act as they get announced, and for that it will be a fun day.
9 years of Bonnaroo and they've never done it like that. I like that they are keeping it interesting, as, admittedly, my interest in Bonnaroo has waned significantly in the last year.
well i guess i was thinking that they already booked the acts.....doesnt matter what we say about them tomorrow before the next round comes out in a few hours.....it seems like we all discuss the lineup when it drops regardless.
im sure there is a reason so im sure you are right. it just seems like its too late to worry about what we think once they are dropping the line up..
well i guess i was thinking that they already booked the acts.
the already do have the acts booked. but last year, all the bands had a press release type thing that had the full lineup. after the lineup was announced, the bands would then be able to post that press release on their myspace pages.
TV on the Radio posted theirs before Bonnaroo.com did and so the lineup leaked early.
This year I think Bonnaroo didn't tell all the bands who else is on the bill
well they must have done some things differently because we sure didnt get much of a leak. thats GREAT for them but its made me less excited. im going.....and im excited....so obviously im not the person they are trying to excite hahahahah
They're being really tight-lipped this year. Thievery Corporation and Lord & Eloise both made references to Bonnaroo on social networking sites that were then deleted hours later. Coincidence? Probably not.

This is all just sepculation but does anyone think a big act is too blame for the secrecy this year? If Bonnaroo had a name like Daft Punk or any variation of Floyd it'd be pretty difficult to keep something like that a secret when everybody on the line up knows. I don't think either of those acts are gonna show up but still...food for thought.

The fact that tickets are going on sale tomorrow makes me think they're rewarding people who are paying attention. Like there's going to be a REAL big name and there will be big demand.
Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.

When has there ever been demand so great that tickets sell out quickly?
since the lineup gets dropped 2-9-10, will we know in about 5 1/2 hours from now (midnight)??? that would be worth staying up for...and also make it hard to sleep from the excitement of finally finding out
if i remember correctly the line-up was released at a certain point in the day last year. i.e. 9am or noon or something. i don't think it comes at midnight, i could be wrong though..
has the whole "individual artist announcements" thing been confirmed? I agree with those against the idea. I don't see why they would wait all day to release the lineup when tickets go on sale at noon. last year's lineup video was a great way to present the lineup and there's just so much more power in seeing all the names at once. I don't want to know the lineup until I know it all.

I think you might be wrong. I was up until 12 waiting on the lineup. TVOTR leaked it on their MySpace page a few hours early, but midnight was the official time last year.
