Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
You forgot the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Jerry Garcia reincarnate. Other than that, yeah, I agree...
you know a part of me still quietly wishes this would happen (impossible headliner ie beatles)... it's the same thing (wishful thinking) that drives the same desire (and what drove my quiet expectation for a while) of a neil young add.
that said there was some grounds to believe the neil young rumor. it seems like it was an option both bonnaroo and young considered. at this point though it's not happening.
unless they decide to make big last minute add will drive ticket sales? i don't think it's happening though. my point is i will always cling to the possibility.
I'm so grateful we didn't lose the opportunity to discuss Neil Young in another thread. We just need to throw in Nazis, Aliens, Armageddon, 2012, and Quentin Tarantino and this thread is complete.
my worry now is that the flaming lips fiasco might delay the schedule release, similar to the delay that neil young possibly delayed the lineup announcement..
i just want a schedule, and i predict it to be tuesday. they seem to be releasing info around payment plan dates, and releasing info more readily in recent weeks. if flaming lips have to cancel, maybe we get another last minute add. but i hope that doesnt require another week or two to develop and therefore keep us away from the schedule.
also, i'd hate to see the lips go. they are in my top three most anticipated acts. but it would free up some time in the conflictapaloosa that is friday late night.
I think they should just give us a schedule and make VERY obvious note that it's not definite and could change (ie last minute band cancellations, etc). That way we at least have a more official, more concrete schedule to rely on.
Jay-Z hates Grey Album, right? The whole sampling thing pissed him off. If Flips have to cancel, I'd be completely ok with Broken Bells filling their slot.

I'm almost certain that Jay-Z doesn't mind sampling at all. He actually released a version of the Black Album A Capella so DJ's could sample it to their leisure...
Jay-Z released the Black Album as an acapella to specifically encourage things like Grey Album. EMI (Beatles label) are the ones who freaked out. Not to mention Jay does mashups all the time in his live show (99 Problems/Back in Black, Heart of the City/Sunday Bloody Sunday, etc)
i'm ready for the lineup to be final with the schedule. i need to start planning the to see and not to see. basically a month and a half before ROOOOO!

2008 was late May but I think last year was May 6th the schedule was dropped, I may be wrong but I thikn that was the drop date last year...But I would expect and e-mail this week letting us know they will announce a new time slot every 15 minutes on Twitter to make the schedule release as exciting as the lineup announcement

It is really hard to believe that this stuff doesn't leak. They must keep a pretty tight group of people setting that up. If it were a larger group we'd know.
Holy Smokes, this is getting ridiculous. I probably check the Bonnaroo website 20 times a day looking for the schedule. I even do it at work. I'm like a junkie. It's sad and pathetic. Anyone else getting antsy? If so, I feel your pain.

nice copy/paste from the person watching the emails come in.
Let me rephrase what I said before. "I would be totally ok with someone being moved into Flaming Lips' spot, then Broken Bells taking that person's spot." Broken Bells couldn't fill Flip's spot.
Yea the schedule wait seems much more excruciating this year. Please, I can do okay if Jimmy Cliff/Stevie/Jeff Beck/Conan O'Brien don't conflict in any combination.
