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!!
I was thinking they were waiting until after SXSW and Ultra to complete additions, because artists from both of those festivals would make up for what Roo's initial lineup was lacking.
I'd like to think we are going to get a few legit electronic artists/buzz bands added and those two festivals had many of them...
But if they're going well enough as it is, it might make for a nice article, "Bonnaroo Sells Out of Tickets! Adds James Blake, Odd Future and Panda Bear. Huzzah!"
Also grabs The Thermals, The Vaccines, The Joy Formidable, Okkerrvil River, Friendly Fires, Delorean, Crystal Castles, DFA 79, Yeasayer, Nosaj Thing, Flying Lotus, and Trentemøller.
Yeah, that sounds okay with me.

James Taylor is in Atlanta 5/27 and has a gap in his tour until 6/24 when he's in Ontario. Could it be a nice JT add??
Wow, I never even thought about him being there but that would be cool to see him. But I'm skeeved over the conflict possibilities. That would make for an anxious decision.
Yep. Give me two dates open the weekend of Roo (preferably while on the east coast) and zero Tennessee dates and we will be in business. Unfortunately, he'll be in Knoxville in May.

What does everything think of the likelihood that The National could be added? They are touring some with Arcade Fire this spring and they have a hole in their touring schedule in June.
As much as I would LOVE the National to be added they played last year and didn't explode in popularity like say The Black Keys. I don't see it but I like where your head is at! My four big hopefuls are--Fleet Foxes, TV On The Radio, Bon Iver and Bright Eyes
All have new albums this year and weren't at Bonnaroo last year.
I agree, I actually like High Violet the most out of the 3, but I still think them not having the year BK and M&S had it lessens the chance of them being at Bonnaroo.
The National were there last year, and unlike the Black Keys and Mumford & Sons they haven't had a huge boost in popularity.
Doesnt really make sense either. I think High Violet is at least as good as Sigh No More or Brothers and I really like both of those albums.
Oh, it's definitely the best of those 3 (though I'm not an M&S fan in general.) Their sound just doesn't have the same "mainstream" appeal as the other two bands. Honestly though, it seems like they're constantly on tour. They were in Wisconsin twice last summer within a month and a half (we don't get too many great shows), were in Chicago a bunch, and will be in Chicago in support of Arcade Fire three days in April plus a return to Milwaukee. Not sure what they like about Wisconsin so much but I'm not complaining.
I am doubtful about The National (even though I wish I wasn't) because they will be in europe in early june and then back again later in the month. I just feel its unlikely to seem them this year! I hope I am wrong though.
Just out of curiosity, is there any reason that people think there will be additions today? What is that guess based on?
Tuesday's kinda seem like the day Bonnaroo likes to announce things on We've never had to wait this long to know the Comedy acts before Today is six weeks after the initial line up, which seems like a good number Artists are starting to announce their summer tours

And as I like what someone else said, its been exactly 6 weeks from the lineup drop, that seems like a good gap, round number. And yes since I started following all this festival stuff it deffinatly seems that tuesdays are festival announcement day
