I predict LCD Soundsystem will be this year's Animal Collective, the act everyone wants to see late night that ends up on the What Stage in the middle of the day.
And before you say it, Animal Collective was also "confirmed" as a late night act before the schedule came out...
A Thieve's Parade 2/24 Conspirator 2/26 Kevin Smith 3/11 Keller 3/17 Papadosio 3/18 JJ Grey 3/25 Bela Fleck/Edgar Meyer 3/26 Toubab Krewe 3/27 O'Death 4/11 Budos Band 4/22 EOTO 4/28 Summer Camp 5/6-29 All Good

I saw a little blurb about his upcoming spring tour and he mentions the light show that goes along with it so I hope it is a night set
Ooooh any idea where you read that? I'd like to check it out. He's playing a late night show at Mountain Jam this year and I can't wait for it.
"That record's a little darker and creepier, so it's very intense to perform it live. Since it has an eerie vibe, we set up the stage with images and lighting that go along with the songs."
THIS! Though they are headlining Wakarusa and playing Summercamp. I'm afraid that the festival organizers may have No-No to Bonnaroo for them (just a hunch, no inside info. here).
I guess I would've read what I'd written and said, "oh, he means the Which Stage".
The guy is having a hard time realizing that LCD Soundsystem isnt getting latenight.
It makes too much since- theyre billed for Coachella and Pitchfork too- Those guys are gonna roll through- play a daytime slot- get their MONEY- and bounce!
Textbook bonnaroo move...
I dreamed of latenight Animal Collective tent sets for months last year...only in the end to find myself hot, and in a field, waiting on their songs to develop. I REALLY HOPE THE SAME DOES NOT HAPPEN! butttttt........

I remember reading in another thread that animal collective was going to play late night but do to a wedding that one of the members was attending the next day they decided to not play late night

and some more commentary for this thread...
Everyone shouldn't get too caught up in the stage name business... just know them by location and move back and forth between them. This is gonna be my 5th roo and I don't know any of the tent names, and I can only tell the difference between Which and What because ive tripped ballz starring at the Which stage sign.
I don't think the two are comparable, LCD is more of a dance act which usually gets placed late night anyway.
Good point- and they are billed in the Oakenfold spot im thinking? Animal Collective is less of a dance act- more comparable to Dan Deacon maybe... who knows im interested now.
Yea I think you're right, LCD is the top placed dance act, I'd be really surprised if they weren't late night.
Now that we have that figured out... Will Bassnectar womp it out until sunrise...and is Daryl Hall "too old" to play the second round of latenight sets starting at like 2ish?
Also...Bonnaroo likes to switch stuff up with artist- like MMJ- Claypool WILL GET a late night set- why would they do the same thing they had him do in 08?

Blackswan over on the Coach boards, he was the only one who knew Hall/Chromeo ahead of time and had the other headliners right with no Neil. He mentioned late night LCD as well.
Where are we getting the LCD Soundsystem rumor from then?
im honestly just assuming because they are perfect for it. i realize this is the path a lot of people went down last year but i think thats because AC is more psychedelic, but im sure there are tons of people in that state during the day LCD is really dancey, which so hard to do baking in the sun at the which stage mid afternoon.

^See, I didn't immediately assume that AC was going to be late night. I was surprised, however, that Ben Harper and Relentless 7 got a late night set; frankly I thought there were other bands that would have been better. I wonder if there will be another "surprise" late nighter this year...

I really hope they don't make any mistakes like the Animal Collective fiasco mentioned earlier. I've seen that band 5 times and the Bonnaroo performance was just weak. It looked painful to play out in the open like that. Even the Yeah Yeah Yeahs looked like they were dying. Really lazy start to the meat and potatoes of the weekend last summer. Yeasayer absolutely blew my mind during their late night set last year. I wandered over to NIN after, who were rocking hard, but nowhere near the spectacle of Yeasayer.
As for late nights, I predict:
Flips DSOTM (obviously) Bassnectar GWAR (on Which NIN spot) Les Claypool Bisco ( ::sigh:: least likely of the bunch considering the gradual migration away from the jam) LCD Soundsystem (NEEDS A LATE NIGHT) The Dead Weather (I don't think it has settled in with everyone how totally out of control this band is )

GWAR late night on the Which Stage ain't gonna happen. Surely you're not assuming that they are anywhere near the draw that NIN was last year (or that their stage setup requires such a large stage). They have played daytime sets numerous times, and probably will again this year.
