So I was trying to come up with the 10th Anniversary being different, but also including returning artists from the 1st 'Roo (Ben Harper & SCI). Although what form of Ben Harper is what perplexes me (Fistful of Mercy, Relentless 7, maybe with Ringo Star, solo). Fallon is also a returner and could do a smaller version of what Conan did this year (2 shows, MC What, sit it with The Roots).
I'll take R.E.M. and/or U2 over Gorillaz. Also, as much as I don't hate Jimmy Falon (crucify me if you will) I don't want him to be given what bit parts CoCo had this past summer. Also, I still hate you Bonnaroo fer fuckin' up the whole Conan show/ticket/waitin' in line deal. Seriously. Fuck you.
I just think that U2 is more likely then REM. and I don't want Jimmy Fallon at all - i would probably use Cheech & Chong as a substitute . Actually I wouldn't really care if it were U2 or REM, both seems incredibly unlikely imo
It'd be so top heavy (and so expensive) that there would literally be no undercard. Bonnaroo would consist of just those 8 artists. In other words, it ain't happening. Also, there is not a single hip-hop or electronic artist in the top 8. I don't think that will ever again happen in a Bonnaroo lineup (which is smart, IMO). Gotta have a big hip-hop or a big electronic draw.
Yeah, I know. Prince would kill the whole thing since he's too expensive, but seriously I do think U2 will be there and Radiohead and Phish are your three headliners.
Pencil Furthur in for Friday late night and Arcade Fire as pre headliners.
MMJ preheadlines Sunday and for some reason, I think they try to get Buffalo Springfield who preheadlines Saturday.
If Coachella can book Prince with a lower attendance rate than Bonnaroo at the time why couln't the Roo afford him?
Maybe AC/Superfly require a higher profit margin, some company's just won't compromise in that area and do whatever is required to ensure it's met.
If even a third of the consistent headliners, late night slots and pre-headliners suggested in this thread make the farm next year I would be extremely happy.
I also like Mos Def more than Drake and would love to see that. I just have this feeling we're getting Drake. and I've had Further on every lineup before, I just didn't know where to fit them here.

After Prince headlined in 08 the lineup was way less top heavy in 09. The Killers and The Cure aren't nearly as expensive as Prince and Roger Waters in the same year.

Yes, and there's a reason for that: Prince and Roger Waters are two of the most expensive acts around and Coachella blew their budget to get them that year, therefore not getting any high quality performers the following year.
Bonnaroo blew their budget getting Springsteen, Phish for two nights & for them only play Bonnaroo that year, NIN, Beastie Boys, Byrne, etc. The next year? Well, there's KOL and DMB. Then you have Stevie and Jay-Z. Only Jay-Z seems expensive.
The next year for Bonnaroo should be able to get 3-6 big headliners while having a fairly strong undercard.
Right, I could see landing both, but I'm not sure if Daft Punk and Gorillaz would fit together on the same headliner bill. Think I want Daft Punk more.
I would have figured Stevie wouldn't be at all cheap, but I don't know.
I don't know either, but I don't think he's more in demand than Jay-Z, U2, Springsteen, Phish, Radiohead, etc. He's bascially a guy they brought out of "retirement" to play.
Since U2 was "only" able to pull 61,419 in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome in October of 2009, I doubt they'd come to Nashville which is smaller market
In October of 2009, U2 played the Georgia Dome which has a capacity for football of 71,000 and they were "only" able to get 61,419 for the show. For the people that were at the show, there were some noticiably "light" areas around the top of the Dome in spots.
There's no way they'd come to Nashville and play LP Field to a smaller crowd than Atlanta. Playing Vandy makes sense for them, even though they haven't played the Nashville area since 1987, they still wouldn't be able to fill LP Field and that's what they're looking to do. They want to come into venues (stadiums) and pack them out. They want to be able to declare the tour "SOLD OUT" and even though it appears they're fudging #'s a little bit, they come close enough to call it SOLD OUT. On top of that, Nashville isn't a great concert market. We've had several of our venues shut down in the past decade. 328 Performance Hall, City Hall and Starwood Amphitheater (hopefully returning soon) are all gone.
We're a C, maybe B- market at best and that's what they're hitting on this leg of the tour. Going through after they've conquered all the A markets and hitting up the smaller markets this time all while revisiting some of the no brainer A markets again.
I can't wait to see this tour again and would prefer to see it at Vandy instead of Bonnaroo any day since they wouldn't be able to bring their 360 setup to Bonnaroo. Time and space restrictions just won't allow it. Not that Glastonbury will be crying because they don't have the 360 setup but it is something amazing to see.

Consequence of Sound put up an article about the new RHCP album. It says...
"As for when the Chili Peppers plan to release the effort? Smith confirmed the band already has several festival appearances booked for the summer of 2011, so it “would be nice” to get it out before then."

Talking out of your ass and presenting it as fact. YES! Because I'm sure Paul McCartney was cheap and not all that "high quality." Tell me, how ever did you find out intimate details of the coachella or bonnaroo budgets?
got bored tonight and made this based off my last mock lineup. bonnaroo 2011 poster if we used the coachella format and played in april
I want this line-up.
*le sigh*You know... Last year we all dreamed big, just like this year, and when the line-up came out we were all crushed by reality. This year I promised myself I wouldn't get my hopes up and that I wouldn't give into the hype, so that I wouldn't disappoint myself. But there's overwhelmingly big expectations for the 10th year, and I'm becoming convinced it will be epic. Bonnaroo better deliver.
One thing: I have a hard time seeing Cee-Lo at Bonnaroo after he/his management screwed AC over on Moogfest...Never know, though. Other than that, that lineup looks pretty badass.
