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.
I agree. I would think they'd maybe be a tent headliner.

With the amount of possible late night acts and the fact that they scheduled the Superjam during Sunday afternoon last year (when it originally was located) makes me think that Superjam may be during the day this year.

The only way GWAR is playing the Which Stage late night is if Tenacious D goes on before them. GWAR w/Jack Black is a late night moment that needs to happen.
That said, I wouldn't be at all surprised if we got some form of metal themed late night this year.

^Superjam might take up a slot as well...probably whatever night Thievery Corporation isn't playing (as I'm thinking they'll both be in The Other Tent).

I wasn't assuming NIN and GWAR have equal draw. My prediction actually comes from the lead singer of GWAR posting (on Facebook I think) that they would play a late night on "the big stage". I did assume that he obviously did not mean What Stage. So I figured he meant Which.

Well sh*t, I had no idea that he made an announcement about it. I guess we'll see. . .
i personally would rather see SuperJam during the day than late night. i would hate to miss a superjam because it is conflicting with the lips or MMW or someone I'm dying to see

The '05 Superjam w/ Herbie Hancock and ?uestlove was mid-afternoon on Sunday, and it was awesome. I missed most of the Harper\JPJ Superjam in '07 becuase of late night conflicts. The Other Tent closer on Sunday is where it needs to be.

Superjam was supposed to close out The Other Tent on Sunday last year, so a return to daytime superjams is totally plausible. It's just from 06-08 they went the late night route. So it could go either way.

I swear, if the schedule goes dan deacon > LCD soundsystem friday and bassnectar > deadmau5 saturday, i'll be the happiest guy in the whole world. plus i get to make fun of kol with a thousand other people while we're waiting on the shows to start.
honestly, though, i have a sneaking suspicion dan deacon will be during the day. his natural level of craziness + bonnaroo's craziness in the early morning would probably lead to people getting trampled to death. the fire marshall had to shut down his (daytime!) pitchfork set and he didn't even have a band yet.

^ I agree with you on the "surprise" argument. However, there are bands that "have" to have a late night set. Two, based on precedence, come to mind: sTs9 and the Lips. Both have been to Bonnaroo numerous times and have always had a late night set.
I agree that not all bands who sound like they should have a late night should, but some should...
I think Thievery Corporation plays a stage, maybe Which Stage as the last act of the day on either Friday or Saturday, around dusk. I think maybe Chromeo/Darryl Hall play during the day, same with LCD Soundsystem.
LCD Soundsystem is the top dance act on the lineup, that makes them late night.
Also Blackswan, who got Hall/Chromeo and LCD before anyone else said they both have late nights.

So, yeah.
Blackswan also originally said Hall and Oates. So yeah he could be wrong.
Oh come on, he had Chromeo and Hall and Oates right next to each other.
No one was even talking about it before he mentioned it.
Exactly right next to each other. Not a Chromeo with Daryl Hall at all. Also Blackswan never claimed to have a source. Seemed like more of a guess to me. Albeit a close one but still.
Eh...I get where Juggs is coming from on this one. LCD is no more danceable than The Rapture or Franz Ferdinand. If either of those acts were playing Roo, people wouldn't automatically assume they were playing late night (although imo, The Rapture would be a fantastic late night act).
People just associate the band more with techno dance music because of James Murphy's involvement. But there are just as many down tempo songs inspired by guys like Eno and Brian Wilson as there are straight up dance punk songs.
Also, there are plenty of examples of acts that make the crowd dance that have played during the day. Everyone danced at Amadou & Mariam in both 2006 and 2009. That was a daytime set.
