I know numerous hot white girls who are attending this year for the first time based on the lineup (probably DMB and KoL mainly). I think this may end up being a trend for Bonnaroo 2010...a trend I can fully support.
It is a humor joke. You know, like "where the white girls at?" Also, I'm mainly referring to the demographic that DMB and KoL would bring in...being at the top of the lineup and all.

Complaining about Roo not being about "jam" bands anymore has certainly jumped the shark.
I'm confused about the comment about bands sucking live. The last 2 years had some of the most incredible live performances I've seen (Booker T., NIN, Mike Farris, Passion Pit, Raconteurs, Public Enemy... and many more, on and on...).
I personally think people get too distracted by the headliners - I've enjoyed Roo's immensely where I wasn't really a fan of any or many of the headliners.
It is funny: if you put a "Jam" band in the headliner slot (or even in TWO slots - which we've had multiple times since the original Roo), jam band fans will say there are not enough. If you put none in the headliners but beef up the undercard with jam bands, they complain. The jam band argument is really a no-win until most of the headliners and 50% of the undercard are a single type of music, which I personally hope doesn't happen with ANY particular kind. I LOVE hearing licks of gospel and bluegrass, the beats of electronica, riffs of rock and every other young and old acts and music that wafts through. But hey, that's just me. I'm not sure why anyone would stay on this board and keep complaining year after year that Roo isn't "jam" enough - haven't these people found other places to hear music?
I'm very excited for Roo, that said, I'm very disappointed with DMB and KOL as #1 and #2 and will be getting very wasted during their sets if there's nothing else happening at the time.
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.

Well, this Bonnaroo vet is excited as hell. Eighth one is a row. It's a different lineup and it always will be. As much as I'd like to relive my first Bonnaroo in 2003, or that awesome 2005 Allman Bros set, or the Raconteurs in 2008, or Gov't Mule in 2007, or The Dead in 2004 after the rain, or the bouncy ground............. well it all lives in my memory. Can't wait to add some more.......

I feel the same way even though this will only be my fourth Bonnaroo. Was wicked excited fer my first one (yeah mostly 'cause I could see The Police fer the same price as a good seat as one of their individual shows plus a whole lot more bands), decided I was goin' back in '08 regardless and got into some great artists beforehand (The Felice Brothers, José González, and MMJ bein' my newfound faves that year). But 2009 killed it fer me. I got to see my idol David Byrne and that was all I needed, numerous other greats though that year. This year I'm already excited fer some 20-30 artists (Thievery Corporation!) but at least ten new artists I already plan to see.
yeah the dead after the rain in 04 was a special show for me also and a few of my friends as well, such great memories Bonnaroo, Bring it on, gonna be a great year.

I think the show "Alice" jumped the shark when Polly Holliday left. I mean Flo was way better than that Bell.
BTW-Stoked about the Roo lineup, I was actually a little let down when they announced Ween and Umph's cause I was already worried about conflicts and now I have two more bands I can't miss.

I would pay 450$ for a GA ticket, just for the record.
Relax guys and gals it's not a big deal, because I've already ruined Bonnaroo forever. And so have all of you. For those of us going again this year, let's continue to ruin it and party our @sses off and have a great time for the 1st, 2nd, 6th, 8th, etc... time. To those of you that are not going I hope you have a great summer, and I wish you all well in whatever musical endeavors you take on this year. I hope you make it back to the farm next year, I know I'll be there!

Bonnaroo '10 has some jam bands, it has some rap artists, it has soul, it has bluegrass, it will have Latin, it has indie, it has comedy (Conan), it has punk, it has electronica, it has techno, it has rock, it has...
Bonnaroo '10 will be fun because of all this. If it were a JAM BAND ONLY festival like so many of you seemingly want, it would not be as successful. This forum would not have as many people. Bonnaroo will be fun because of everything you haters are hating on it for.
If you want only indie rock they have a festival for you. If you want only jam bands they have a festival for you. If you want only headliners they have a festival for you.
Are there bands i wish were at Bonnaroo? Yes. Do i get everything i want every time i ask for it? No. The lineup is stacked with variety from top to bottom. I am not paying $250 plus gas plus 4 days of my time to see one genre of music, i am making the trip to experience new artists and an amazing atmosphere.
