The Tony Awards are in New York on Sunday and the Spiderman musical has yet to open. I think they could perform on Saturday and be in New York if they are performing or end up being nominated.

Totally. I just think he could have been a little less of a jerk about it.
Just curious - how was he a jerk about it?
He just totally came off completely condescending in a "I'm important and better then you, kind of way". Maybe it was just the way I read it as opposed to the way it was intended. But then launching into a crazy rant against a poster didn't exactly help.
But whatever, just an observation. Not exactly a big deal or too bent out of shape over it.
How big is the gap in their tour around Bonnaroo? Isn't it like 10 days or something ridiculous? And with the Tony Awards being on a Sunday night, couldn't they still play Saturday, or Friday? Not like NYC is that long of a plane ride from Tennessee. Also, nominations for those awards haven't even come out yet, so would they necessarily schedule a huge gap in their tour on the off chance they were nominated? Their show on Broadway was pushed back so many times, it's entirely possible it wouldn't have even been eligible for this year.
I agree it's another theory, but far from a definite one.
Spiderman the musical won't be nominated. Or at least I doubt it will. But they could still be going to promote the show or to perform or something like that.
The important thing IMO isn't that the gap is so large (thus making it possible for them to do Roo). It's that for a long time everyone on here pointed to the gap in the touring as a reason why they would likely be at Bonnaroo. That's because before now, we had NO reason to think they would put a gap in the tour schedule other than Roo. Now there is another explanation for the tour gap instead of us saying "well why else would they put a gap in the tour?".
I'll never really believe 100% that U2 won't be there this year til the lineup drops........but I do have some faith in BonnarooDetective and will be interested to see if he was right.

Well, then that settles it, we're getting Prince If it is not U2 at the top of the lineup, I'm starting to wonder who it will be...

Not to get involved in the major semantics whether they could pull it off or not, but the Tony's are still in the picture for Spiderman. Though the cutoff date for eligibility hasn't been set yet for this year, last year's was April 29th, giving them plenty of time to get through the recasting and retooling. Also, the past few years the Tony's have been doing exhibitions and excerpts from non nominated shows... might still give them reason to be there....

You all can't be serious. If he truly does know the headliners, you honestly don't want his info because you think he's a jerk? Maybe I just have no dignity, but I'd kiss anyone's ass to find out the headliners a couple weeks early. Its just a fucking internet message board anyway.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
Maybe I just have no dignity, but I'd kiss anyone's ass to find out the headliners a couple weeks early.
They could tell me the lineup wouldn't be announced until we arrived, and I'd have my VIP wristband on and set up camp before I even looked at the schedule.
I neither understand the intensity people have about the lineup, nor do I understand how a guy who knows it would need to stomp around like a bully in a playground. Speculation IS fun, but at the end of the day, we'll all know the lineup well before we need to.

A lot of people need to start making their summer plans and for those that want to hit up summer festivals.....the earlier we know the lineups the better.
That's one reason for such craziness over the lineup. The other (on my part) is that I look forward to doing homework and learning about a ton of bands who I don't know much about but will have the chance to see in June.

What are your thoughts on the headliners this year? You think it's a big deal for the 10th or will some people on here be disappointed? Have we guessed any of the headliners right in any threads?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
This year is going to be like the past 4 years - a lot of hype only proves one thing: you can't make everybody happy.
I don't think the headliners are "over-the-top," but I'm not disappointed either. Are you all getting Daft Punk, Radiohead, Neil Young, Arcade Fire, Furthur, My Morning Jacket, Prince, and David Bowie?
No.
But bear in mind (something I've slowly come to terms with) - the people behind this festival know what we want, and they know what would make a great festival. They certainly tried to book the likes of Daft Punk/Radiohead/The Beatles, but it isn't always feasible. You can't just make a band play your festival; and for most of these guys, more money isn't going to make a difference.
One headliner might come of something as a surprise. I don't keep up on every page of this board anymore, so I can't say exactly what has or hasn't been discussed. As badly as I want to tell you we are getting a Talking Heads reunion, there just isn't a surprise of that capacity in the deck.
Also - I don't know everything. Ultimately, the names I know make up a small part of the line up.
As I hear it shaking down, part of what will make Roo #10 awesome is the undercard.
welcome back detective! i know you're probably not gonna spill any names just yet but thanks for giving us what you claim you know. i wanna believe you have an inside source, and i kinda do, i mean the past speaks for itself. what makes me skeptical is anyone who knows bonnaroo inside and out could assume one of the headliners will be a surprise and the undercard is awesome. it's like that every year. i wanna believe, and i will if you spill the beans before the lineup is out and it turns true. with it apparently being released this coming tuesday, do you think we could get some names soon, maybe as late as the weekend, but preferably today?
or maybe you can respond to some names i throw out.
who is the surprise headliner? muse? paul mccartney? arcade fire? white stripes? my morning jacket? rush? foo fighters? prince? furthur? panic? kanye? pearl jam? red hot chili peppers? the who? buffalo springfield? lady gaga? the strokes? neil young? bob dylan? kid rock? toby keith?
1) You guys are kind of douchey to everyone on here. Chill out, change your tampon (Matt Hasselbeck), and wait for the lineup to drop. 2) Not everyone that goes to an award show is nominated for something, and I guarantee you that Bono & Co. will be at the Tony Awards. This is not saying they won't be at 'Roo. It's still a possibility. 3) BD, you're cool in my book. I'm sure a lot of people know the lineup already and aren't leaking it. He's at least pointing us in the right direction.

I doubt that.
Agreed, it only takes one to let it leak. No info from insider or BonnarooDetective about headliners (yet). It is interesting to know that one probable Headliner is off the table (U2), now we just have to readjust our focus.
