Apparently at Alchemy Fest this past year (not sure if it's something they always have), they had a hot air balloon laid out on the ground for people to walk around in....looks pretty awesome.
Rooin' since '05...(except 2014...worst June of my life!)
"Hey Peter Frampton! Do you like toast too? Yes, as do I. It is warm and crispy, and a perfect place for jelly to lay. Now stay the hell away from me Frampton, I ain’t got sh*t to say to you!"

im not 100% sure, because at the time reality wasnt exactly anywhere near me.... but that sonic forest does more than just make weird noises. I think it was capable of being triggered to perform a show.
what they need to bring back, and it would be easy as hell, is the giant metalworks. one year they had 2 of these things sitting out by the place that had the wacky burlesque shit, or the fire dancers (near where the guitar hero xbox stage was last year). well it became a pretty Hetty industrial drum circle that went on for hours without stopping. they were so big that 9-12 people could be banging on each one and when one person left, someone else jumped right in.

My suggestion for Bonnaroo needs one of these, is a late night campfire area or just a dedicated area for campfires and socializing
I begin by making a comparison to Glastonbury. One of the coolest places i have ever seen at a festival is the Stone circle on the hill overlooking the Glastonbury festival ground.
On the first day they had a big bonfire to start off, and it is a regular place for hanging out with your friends and taking a breather any time of the day. At night the place is filled with people hanging around campfires and you could also buy huge 2 foot tall candles on a stick for 2 pounds. I bought one and brought it home to burn on a special occasion.
My suggestion would be an area dedicated for hanging out where fires are allowed. at Glastonbury you could burn trashpiles almost any where around the festival and not have any issues.
It is best described by photos.
The glowing lights in the sky are paper lanterns
This is the park stage aea, awesome view. I know Bonnaroo won't ever have hills like this, it's just set up for chilling though.

Fire Fountain
Arcadia
Honestly, every festival should go to Glastonbury and take notes.
There is no way in hell they should have open fires in the camping area at Bonnaroo. A. you dont need them, it is not in England. B. Tennessee regularly catches on fire in the summer, England does not. I am sure Glasto was a blast HGH said it sure was, but it helps to keep a little perspective when comparing it with other places.
I love the idea but with that many people and how dry TN has been for the last few years I have to agree that it's a no go. I think the only way it could be accomplished is if it were reallllyyyy close to a water source and we know how rare those can be.

in 04 when the dead were headlining i remember a bunch of people with firerings and fireworks and being honestly scared they were going to set a tent on fire around us somewhere. then it ended up raining most of saturday but if it were a year like the last few i could easily see bad things happening. i do miss the sonic forest and the adult playground although there have been a few new intoductions over the years but id agree those were a few of my favorites.

I remember the first 2 or 3 years at Bonnaroo they had a playground with swings and stuff. It was a lot of fun at night time! I wish they would bring it back too!
I really wish i could have found a better quality video for the aziz one but... the man describes it better than anyone else...
I love it! I really wish it looked like a forest though.. A little musical hideaway You really rock for finding those videos for me btw. Thanks a bunch!
Oh super awesome! Thank you for that. I am liking this and I do like one big fire area people could just chill around at night. Maybe during the day somehow turn it into a fountain. Who knows... this age anything is possible!
Edit: I just thought about hot how that would be and on most nights it would be afwul. What about a big ball of lights just glowing and changing color and maybe shape....

No problem! I actually went to see Aziz at Mohegan (CT) last night so finding the video got me pumped for the show.
