Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
With a lack of discovery I want to take time and help us rdouble our efforts. We are the truest of the true here. We do not need a band for the festival to materialize. We dream the dream the specifics are laid out later. Most of us are on this board most of the year. We are not these tourists that show up because of say a Led Zeppelin show. We are going just because we know what's up. And while say Outkast reunion might not be one persons cup of tea it is another persons nap time. Bonnaroo is like one of those choose your own adventure books that came out years ago. The story is general the specifics? Well they were different for each of us at the end of every year. But each of us were down for it no matter how it played out. So before the announcments come out I want to tell every one how special they are that are here right now because at this point that is all we have is each other. And some good friends are all you need to throw a party. Everything else we get from here on out is going to be frosting and sugar sprinkles and funfetti on our cakes. BONNAROO!!!!

I would go and drink Natty Light out of a keg and listen to a gospel station on a mono speaker AM radio on that field with each of you on this board even if there were no bands at all.

You are sooo correct. We are all anticipating the lineup release and the tension of the wait builds and makes us suggest even the most ridiculous of band choices. But by next week, (maybe a little later) the talk will turn to other aspects of being on the farm, and we will be friendly to the noobs and give them sage advise, and forget all about their lineup posts.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Ohhhhhh how I cannot wait to pound PBRs at 7am and eat granola and pay 7 or more dollars for a shower....Sooo worth it. This year will be epic.... I do have to say...I had a certain expectation when it comes to people when I trekked to Roo.... I felt as though there would be more of a 'hippie' vibe...meaning, 'let's all get along' and love eachother as humans and junk...haha... But sadly? There were mannnnnnnnnny hipsters there...NOT to be confused with hippies...hah. Apple product-toting kids...the ones that their parents bought them tix to get them out of their hair for a short stint in the summer....ugh... anyway... I truly felt like these kids were very high-school-esque. I said hello, how are ya and such... and they were very 'Um, omg, did that girl just TALK to me?'Hilarious. And childish. Anyway, I hope this year is different, complete with people that ACTUALLY appreciate decent music and the experience as it was intended.

this yr will be better as far as the scene goes. nothing like it was in the old days, but as long as DMB and KOL arnt headlining we should be ok. i agree, last yr was a shitt show.. no1 helping eachother out, no1 WANTING to go out of their way for anyone..
Broo 2010 left a bad taste is all of our mouths. hopefully this yr will be a lot different
If I see a bunch of spoiled kids acting jerky, I guess I hope that a 40-yr old balding guy striking up a conversation with them will subconsciously change their vibe. Either "Hey, we don't belong here" or perhaps "Hey, I can act like an adult." I would love for them to go home and tell all their friends Roo's full of overly friendly old people.
To be fair, the heat last year zapped a lot of people. By Saturday afternoon I barely knew my name but I knew where all the shade trees and water sources were. It is difficult to be cheerful and supportive when you worried about passing out. Add youth to heat-stress and you have a recipe for d!ckishness.
2009, my only other Roo, had a much more relaxed and positive vibe. But yeah, kids were still kids.

I like how half the people on this board can bitch about hipsters while talking about good vibes. People are people. I drank PBR for a couple nights in a row a while back and thought "Does this make me a hipster?" and then laughed. Everything about our pop culture right now is corralling us all a little more towards what we called "hipster". Sometimes I wear skinny jeans. Sometimes I drink PBR. Sometimes I listen to bands that no one I know has heard of. We're all part hipster. Who cares though?

Yeah, the hipster critique is overdone. And pigeon-holing ppl is crap.
and this is what i love about this board....and bonnaroo. this is only going to be my second roo. i don't comment too much on here and don't really know any of you but i feel like it's a family atmosphere and that is what i love. i CAN NOT wait until june

you can thank Phish for that
whether ppl are willing to admit it or not.. the jambands (phish, furthur, moe, sci, ect..) bring clean dr00gz and the good vibes.
relax everyone, im not saying you have to take drugs to have a good time or be a nice person at bonnaroo.. but not only do i go for the music, i go to have a great time and to meet new people. every yr i have gone to bonnaroo (this yr will be my 6th) i have met tons of great ppl. yes, the scene and "vibes" change bit by bit every yr.. but it is what you make of it.
i feel like i have no choice to be optimistic about bonnaroo 2011. many of my good friends grew up with this festival and have been going since 02. it holds that special place inside all of us. Its Bonnaroo.

First, I was saying that I like PBR...and I drank a lot of it last year...haha. Secondly, I also own skinny jeans. I was in no way purporting hatred for a genre of people... It's just that the snarky, unhelpful, unfriendly people undoubtedly ALL fit the description of the pain the butt hipsters. I just had a different idea of what the 'vibe' was from reading about it. I thought people went there with a predetermination to be cool with everyone. That's all...

Ever since I started going to the Roo, it's changed the way I look at almost everything. The seasons, for example, are no longer the original 4 that were introduced to me as a kid, now it's Bonnaroo (begining of June - about the last day of roo), get me home and out of the sun (the last day of roo - the next few months of scorching heat), I miss Bonnaroo (Sept. - Christmas), and Bonnaroo anticipation/obsessing (right after Christmas until Roo rolls around again). Every year I go to Bonnaroo with a pretty big croo, and we all take part in the "Seasons of Roo" together, and it's a freakin blast! But this is the first year that my Roo family might not all be able to make it As sad as I am, I'm also glad that, this year during "Roo anticipation season", I actually started checking out the boards for more than just rumors. It's like a nice little dysfunctional family!

This thread just made me soooo happy ;D I can't wait for Bonnaroo and for the sharp tooth horses, unicorns, and wolverines to become friends! June just can't come soon enough.
