Fans flocked from Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Mexico, New Zealand and Australia among others, making up an estimated total audience of 110,000. Corrigan told the fans near the end of the performance
3 sold-out shows at MSG last reunion. Might not be the tea you drink but they would fill plenty of cups.
Yes, as a headliner (Sunday) or LN What (they're too big for LN Which).
I guess it's hard to judge how big they are. Their last concert ever was free but did draw 100,000+ and their latest major shows were at MSG and sold out 3 nights in minutes. I think it's completely reasonable they'd headline - they are huge with the Bonnaroo-age crowd, are popular with both the jam & hipsters, and are rare enough that they're be a bigger deal than normal.

Dispatch will not be in the first 5 names listed on this year's Bonnaroo Lineup. If i'm wrong I'll personally smoke up anyone on here at Roo this year. I don't think they are a headlining act for Roo. Sorry.

I am with you, I just do not think they have the name recognition to be a headliner. Flips, NIN, P&F, SCI spot would be my guess.
The lowest I think they'd possibly be is LN Which. I'm from Buffalo so I guess that their popularity in my town is overshadowed by a lot of the country. Still, they are most popular age group of the Bonnaroo goer (20s) and appeal to the same type of fans (jam/indie). I think it's safe to say they're on the same level as the above mentioned bands (Flips, P&F, NIN, SCI).

I can not speak to Buffalo, but I do not think they have that big a following down here.
What do I know though I would not have thought the Pavement reunion would have been as big as it was either. Both are bands I was peripherally aware of, but not bands I followed or went out and bought the CD's when they were released or anything. I do remember Dispacth having a big buzz in 98/99 at the end of my Phish touring days.
And the Pavement thing...that enthusiasm was mostly due to an entire generation of hipster d*ckbags being weaned on the notion that Pavement was the greatest band ever, yet never having the chance to see them live, coupled with the fact that their legend had grown so much in the 12 years or so they had been broken up that people who didn't give a piss about them in the 90's suddenly decided they were the greatest thing ever. Man, f*ck all those people.
I unironically love Pavement. One of my favorite shows of the year.
Slightly off topic but I was just looking up the lineup for the first festival I ever went to. It is pretty funny who the headliners were vs the smaller bands. This was 10 years or so before the first Bonnaroo.
Headliners
* Blues Traveler * Widespread Panic * Aquarium Rescue Unit * The Samples * Big Head Todd & the Monsters * Allgood
Non-headliners
* Phish * Allman Brothers Band * Melissa Etheridge * Soulhat * Royal Crescent Mob * Oroboros * Cycomotogoat * Masters of Reality * The Authority * Warren Haynes * God Street Wine * Dave Matthews
