How realistic of a possibility is it for Robin Williams to be the top comedian? I think he might be my only possibility to top Conan O'Brien, unless they get maybe Stephen Colbert.

I was (sort of) joking about DJ Lance, although Yo Gabba Gabba! is pretty popular with college-age kids, so there might be some fun to have there. And, yes, Dan Zanes and His Fine Friends are about the only band who I might let ride even when the kids in the back seat have fallen asleep.
Great lineup but one question? How old are your kids? Any line up that includes both DJ Lance and Dan Zanes clearly is watching as much Nick Jr. as I am.
The only other problem I have with it is the conflicts would be absolutely impossible!!
U2 • Simon & Garfunkel • The Arcade Fire • Lady Gaga • Robert Plant & the Band of Joy • Neil Young • Chemical Brothers • Stephen Colbert • Wilco • Duran Duran • Jackson Browne • Smokey Robinson • Tom Jones • The Cars • Sheryl Crow • Roxy Music • M.I.A. • Slayer • Amy Winehouse • Sade • Ryan Adams • Drake • The Shins • Maxwell • Levon Helm & the Midnight Ramble • ZZ Top • Big Boi • Janelle Monae • Emmylou Harris • Joanna Newsom • Corinne Bailey Rae • Portishead • Cee Lo • Judas Priest • Scissor Sisters • Jakob Dylan • Yeasayer • As I Lay Dying • Santigold • Dr. John & the Lower 911 • Mos Def • Doc Watson • The-Dream • John Hiatt • Passion Pit • Lupe Fiasco • Flying Lotus • Jewel • Opeth • Sleigh Bells • Paul Weller • Sarah Silverman • Robyn • Bad Religion • Laurie Anderson • Peter Wolf • Aphex Twin • Bettye Lavette • RJD2 • Peter Frampton • Wolf Parade • Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs • Antony and the Johnstons • Crowded House • Dinosaur Jr. • Glen Campbell • Fleet Foxes • “Weird Al” Yankovic • Russell Peters • The Rascals • Broken Social Scene • Adele • Teenage Fanclub • Meshuggah • Los Lobos • The Ting Tings • Infected Mushroom • Social Distortion • J.

One more thing. None of these lineups make one bit of sense. When David Gilmour, Outkast, Dave Chappelle, Clapton (Non headliner), Gorillaz, Tom Waits, The Cars, Roxy Music, or anyone else who will probably never play bonnaroo start showing up, We're gonna have some disappointments.
I included The Cars and Roxy Music, both of which are a possiblility. Roxy Music are touring the UK right now, and Ric Ocasek has been hinting that The Cars are reforming soon.
not really. most bands are either definitely Headliners or not.
Arcade Fire is one of the few exceptions who could go either way
Yep, I agree.
I see them as either Which late night or the Friday headliner if (a) Saturday's headliner is huge (U2 or the Stones, as AF probably costs less than a typical headliner) or (b) it's split with Daft Punk or someone ala Beasties/Phish.
They'd probably be the biggest pre-headliner ever at 'Roo and you wouldn't get the full effect, really, I don't think.
I see them in the same spot as NIN, Flaming Lips, String Cheese and Phil & Friends.
^Bigger than a non touring band? Shocking...... They play pretty small venues to be a headliner sized band imo. I do not think we have had a headliner yet who has not managed to sell out MSG. Even at the Atlanta show they are not opening up the lawn so it is a 5000 seat venue. I think they need to get in a position where they can sell more tickets to a US audience before they start headlining Bonnaroo.

They just headlined Lolla to a crowd that was much bigger than Soundgardens, they're going to headline Coachella next year, they played two very very close to sell out dates at MSG, they have the number one album in the country...
At the very least they will be in Jay-Z's late night What spot. Count it.

I just want to ask a question not trying to be rude, is there a reason everybody is speculating daft punk this year. ( i wouldnt mind at all if they were there it just seems like everybody thinks they will be)
here is the headliners i think will be there
Thursday- dr. dog Friday- arcade fire/ LN panda bear(or animal collective) Saturday- lady gaga/ LN daft punk sunday- widespread panic
NOw here is what i would like (besides no lady gaga anywhere near) Thursday- surfer blood Friday - arcade fire/ LN animal collective Saturday- The white stripes/LN My Morning Jacket sunday- neil young
but i come to realize that we all have no idea and i just hope were all not let down

the Daft Punk speculation is based on the fact that they are writing the score (and possibly releasing an accompanying soundtrack?) to the new Tron: Legacy film. it's been heavily rumored that they will tour in order to support this new material/Tron.
Daft Punk has played most other large US festivals, but never Bonnaroo, and a large segment of the community have been demanding them for years now, so it seems entirely possible that if they do tour, Bonnaroo will attempt to book them.

If they have to shut down half a small venue in Atlanta for them to play a 7000 seat show I doubt they would sell enough tickets to justify headliner status at Bonnaroo. Also they did not even sell all those seats out (Zack Brown sold out the whole thing) tickets are available for under face on stubhub.

you see? there's so much conflicting information going into the status:
on one hand they are veryyy popular among the young, "music-loving" (read: hipster) population. they just released their third critically-acclaimed album in a row. and they just had an apparently epic performance that may have outdrawn the #1 headliner Soundgarden (although i'd still like to see a reliable link supporting this) proving their draw.
but they also struggle to fill venues that any headliner-status band should be able to fill. if you can't sell 7000 seats in Atlanta, i don't think you should headline.
one show proves they are headliner worthy. one proves they aren't.
I have to say, the show at the Ryman was one of the best I've seen. I was quite disappointed in the length of the set (1.45 mins) but overall they were really great. I didn't come to tears like some have said on this board, but they were definitely worth the money.
I tend to agree about the headliner stuff though. The Ryman only seats 2500, and even though it was sold out, AF not opening the lawn in ATL makes me think...
Anyways, read today that Van Halen is working on an album, involving the original members, followed by a world tour. Realistically, we need to stop thinking Daft and start listening to 1984, imo. Hope not, but I can see a band like Van Halen being very appealing to AC because of the location of Roo in the South.
Yeah, I've never understood the people that act like Daft Punk is unlikely or a pipe dream. They're rumored to be touring next year and Bonnaroo is the only of the Big 3 that they haven't played yet. Not to mention that they've played Vegoose so it's not like Superfly isn't on good terms with them or whatnot. On top of those two things, their tour dates consist mainly of festival appearances.
Also, regarding Arcade Fire, I think I stated this previously - as a marketing standpoint, it would probably make the most sense to have them late night Which. They are extremely popular with the music loving crowd that is already aware of Bonnaroo and likely to go (at least considering it). However, if they take up that Friday headliner spot, then there will be no Kings of Leon, Metallica or Tom Petty on there that is going to get the "casual music fan that has a good taste but is too lazy to dive into other artists".
