Bonnaroo 2011 Headliner Speculation Thread

Negative, its the Vedders. Wow I said that as a joke, but it would be pretty cool actually.

Also, checked out Interpol last night w/ School of Seven Bells. Both bands put on a great show!

I thought Paul Banks (vocals) was a little monotone, kinda like John McCrea from Cake, but not quite so purposefully melancholy; and yes I get that's their schtick. The light show wasn't over the top, well-synced though, and the sound guys @ the Pageant did a fair to good job. This band has spent a LOT of time on the road, and that experience shows up live, the band misses few to no licks and had no unscheduled breaks. This would make a great act for basically anytime of the day, probably in a tent, this year @ Bonnaroo.

School of Seven Bells was a nice surprise, someone at the venue said the lead singer used to have a twin who sang w/ her. The young lady singing was good on her own, but of course twins...c'mon. Front man seemed to have some talent, sad they only played a half-dozen songs.

Unfortunately, a kind and thoughtful broskie tossed a beer down my back at the beginning of Interpol's "2nd set" (more like 3 or 4 encores), and we returned to the hotel before I had a chance to get autographs/ask about Bonnaroo.

Interpol is great elevator music. Those guys really rock the Muzak vibe.

I didn't realize until now that School of Seven Bells had lost one of the twins. That's a real shame. I mean, I know the twin that's left can simply harmonize herself track by track. But I was looking forward to seeing both of them at Roo.

Ridiculous.

They're not going to jump around and spit on people, but Muzak is a highly unfair characterization. Speaking of being unfair, here is a plenary example of a Muzak band:

I know it's apparently blasphemy to like the Killers here but I saw him with them and it was orgasmic. I'd love for them both to be there.

Lou Reed must of lost all his money with the NO NO's and was hard up from some cash

^^ I personally think they are awful.. but thats just me^^

Can I ask why? I'm not trying to be a jarkface I'm just curious why they're not liked on this board.

Like we needed more hype. This tweet just came from Anthony Kiedis : Holy shit ! The lineup for #Bonnaroo just went over the top tonight... beyond thrilled. Great lineup and some once in a lifetime shows.

Damn! Wonder who they signed today..that tweet is massive hype

I cant speak for the board but I just dont like them.. you know how you hear something it just dont like it.. i have no specific reason.. just not my cup of tea

Obviously Eddie Vedder agreed to play and is bringing his friends Bruce and Uncle Neil.
