Don't get my wrong... I love Arcade Fire but if they were put in front of MMJ I would be pissed. They've just put too much heart and soul in this festival

Generally the lineup order is based on potential draw. It has little to do with respect for the artist or perceived importance to the festival goers.
Out of the 2 I prefer MMJ more, but I would agree with Arcade Fire being ahead of them on the lineup based on their current momentum in the music world.

arcade fire would certainly be billed ahead of MMJ. i have seen so many people putting MMJ ahead of arcade fire but it simply wouldnt happen. arcade fire are just a way bigger name right now playing way bigger shows. MMJ could not sell out madison square garden right now. (keep in mind this is call coming from an MMJ fan who hates arcade fire)
however, they have "put too much heart and soul into this festival" as funkedup said which is why i put them late night what on saturday as opposed to late night which on friday. arcade fire gets the higher billing for their name, MMJ gets the bigger spot for their importance to bonnaroo. everyone is happy

I just noticed that you had them playing a late night on Saturday... I would definitely rather them play in that spot than get a better billing. It works perfectly...

My Morning Jacket did sell out MSG, though.
I wasn't there but I remember hearing it was more like 70% full.

Craaaaaaaaaaaazy...they are obviously greater than KOL, but they haven't had the mainstream media or any huge performances. They haven't sold nearly, NEARLY as many tickets or music than any other artist who has headlined What Stage. They will play a headline slot on Which or open for a major act on What Stage. I don't see them playing a tent, and I don't see them playing a late night... absolutley no disrespect, I'd rather see AF than any of the 2010 headliners.
I grew up worshipping Rock and Roll like a religion. I know its shortcomings and strengths but have loved it unconditionally all the same since I was eight-years old. I ran away and joined the circus and honestly, I'm still as obsessed as I was as a boy. I'm not a kid anymore but I still remember how it felt and it doesn't really feel all that different to me now.
I wasn't there but I remember hearing it was more like 70% full.
I was there and it was 60 to 70% full. Also, I was at their homecoming show at the new Louisville arena a couple of weeks ago and they couldnt sell any tickets in the upper deck in their home town. Im not saying this to bash MMJ, because they are one one of my favorite bands and one of the best live bands ive ever seen. However, as far being a big draw they are not quite a Roo headliner. Anyway, who cares if they are a headliner or not. All that matters is that they are there and will probably get a late night, which allows them to play longer. Either way it will be an epic show.
OK, I just don't get all the love for further... How do they get put above MMJ or Arcade Fire??
The Grateful Dead. Without them, there would be no Bonnaroo. That's why.
OK, first of all, I strongly dislike the Grateful Dead's studio music. Now a good live recording is tolerable, and at times impressive.
In my opinion, the Grateful Dead died with Jerry Garcia. So you are rating Furthur based on the band these guys use to be in 15 years ago. They have not recorded any new music, and have only been a band for a little over a year.
You are rating this band over bands that have been around for a while, and released some great albums. Its just not logical... It's like the whole Paul McCartney headline argument, you put him over everyone, and not because of the music he has made on his own, but because of who he is, and he is who he is because he was a Beatle.
If this were the lineup, this is, IMO, how it should be ordered..
Radiohead - The Gorillaz - REM - Arcade Fire - My Morning Jacket - Furthur
And even 6th on the bill, Furthur can still close out the festival
But they are 2/3 of the voice of the dead, play dead songs, recorded a couple new songs, and have been a huge part of Roo. I don't care where they are billed. I was just sayin why they are talked about so much.

I must disagree with the Paul McCartney comment jhammet... Sir Paul would still be a huge star based solely on his Wings and solo material. He's a musical genius. It also helps he was in the most talented and influential band of all time.

Why not have Neil Young Friday 9-12 on the What stage followed by MMJ 1am-4am on the What Stage as well, than go The Stones 9-12 followed by Further 1-4 on the What Stage Saturday, That ABB 5-8 followed by WSP 9-12 Sunday...all fixed and all good

I get the whole friday,saturday what stage "headliner" but technically mmj & further if they played 1am both nights would be the next day..and MMY & Phil/Bob have played the late night set @ the roo, so they get it that they don't have to be"headliners" nor will they be stealing any headliners thunder...and I cant see the Stones complaining about the Phil & Bobby coming on after them @ 1am, nor do I see NY complaining about it either. That would be the ultimate 1/2 punch for the weekend in my book.

Oh, really? I read somewhere that they did sellout MSG.
Ya Neil headlining followed by MMJ latenight on What would be ultimate awesome.
I would love that. The only problem is I would either have to sacrifice a good spot for Neil so I could wait in the pit line for MMJ or have an average spot for both shows! Damn!

It was a good crowd and one of the best shows that I have ever seen, but just not totally.
MSG NYE 2008?...that place was packed!..or is that not the show your talking about
It was packed yes. Was it sold out? I haven't been able to find any info on that and usually selling out MSG is something that magazine and online articles would include in their reports.
Whats the big deal about selling out the garden, It seats 19,552 and you have how many millions of new yorkers to buy tickets. I bet justin bieber would sell it out, does that mean he makes better music than MMJ or Arcade Fire?
Case Point, Eric Clapton did a 12 show tour with Roger Daugherty opening for him, and he played memphis, and didn't sell out the forum... However, John Mayer did sell out the forum. So does that mean John Mayer > Eric Clapton? I think not!

Here's one article saying they did.
"If you can sell out the Garden, you've made it – and MMJ did just that."
