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 don't understand why everyone's sooo anxious to see the additions...I don't see any huge make-or-break names being added, but who knows.
First it was "omg lineups taking foreverrrr," now it's "omg additions are taking foreverrr," next it's gonna be "omg the schedule is taking foreverrr."
Chill everyone...either way Bonnaroo is happening June 9.
You may not see any make-or-brake names coming but that just you, what might be insignificant addition to you could make someones day. People are really passionate about Bonnaroo. For a lot of people its the one vacation they get (and look forward to) every year. When the additions and announcements come later than normal people notice...
Also, some people are still waiting on additions before buying their ticket.
Well said. I'll put it this way. Everyone seems to want Radiohead to be added as a surprise headliner. Most people assume Galactic will be added since they've played 7 out of the past 9 Bonnaroo's. I've seen them 6 times on the farm and can't wait to see them again because it's always a top show for me. If they get added it will be a huge add in my eyes, but probably not for most people. If Radiohead gets added, people will go ape-leno, but it'll be just another show for me to skip (like Eminem).
It's only a huge addition if you like the band being added, it has nothing to do with the commercial success of the band

lol, I don't even attempt to get my tix via 10 club anymore, such a joke, I have a great # and I still get garbage seats, plus the ticketmaster server is built to withold massive traffic, the 10 club site is a mess the day of pre sale. Vedder @ the Beacon in June will be awesome, my 2 week run will go Bonnaroo 6/7-6/13 > Yankees @ Wrigley 6/17 & 18 w/a MMJ show in Chicago > Yanks @ Cincy 6/20> EV @ the Beacon 6/21-6/22....starting to feel like that October in 2009 with Bruce, PJ & Yanks world series
So does this long wait mean anything towards how big the additional acts will be? because the wait would be well worth it if RADIOHEAD somehow got in on the list, thats something the tenth anniversary could be know for but on the same token i dont think it would be buiness-smart to add someone such as RADIOHEAD when you already have a line-up that sells itself and you could just make them the BIG name next year and sell alot of tickets just based of their name being on the line-up instead of adding them when the first three tiers are allready sold out.

Why are we anxious for the late adds and then the schedule? Well these are like mile markers, you relize you are not there yet but one more piece is in place for the completion. And with this being the 10th anniversary most relize that something really special is always possible.
would love to see additions added on friday. just one gigantic list of bands, only half of whom will actually be playing, so we can argue whether or not bonnaroo would really be so cruel as to play an APRIL FOOLS joke on us...
Do you think it being so late has to do with the tenth aniversary? I just feel like it can't possibly be a coincidense....either way, KILLIN ME!!! But for some reason I just had a gut feeling it would come out this week, which is why I went ahead and bought my ticket Sunday....

Please, for the sake of my sanity, will people stop begging for Radiohead. It is NEVER going to happen. Especially not as a post intial lineup addition. Give it up. Its like Bonnaroo just gave you $1000 and you turned around and asked for $2000. I can understand hoping for smaller tier acts but do you REALLY think they would make a conscious business decision to hold off on announcing one of the biggest bands in the world (unfortunately) because they wanted to see the look on your face? No, they want your money and they've probably already got it so there is no incentive for them to "wow" you to that degree.

While I would agree that it won't happen, and its annoying people wouldn't let it go.
BUT I wouldn't call people greedy for wanting it. For some top tier acts like eminem, arcade fire, and lil'wayne were a HUGE quacking LETDOWN for the Roo X lineup. For them Roo gave them $0.002 and they are asking for $1000.
I agree that it makes sense to have bands with the biggest attraction on the initial lineup. BUT keep in mind I don't think Roo has completely sold out of tickets since I've been going (2006); a feat which coachella did very quickly. Ever consider they might want to try to do that? If ticket sales aren't were they want them to be why not try to add a huge band like radiohead to help boost sales in the homestrech?

Very good point. And still, like I said before, I believe they may be holding out on a big surprise for the big X. Big possibility.

I'm sure Bonnaroo wishes they could have Radiohead this year as much as most people on here do......it's just not in the cards this year. Maybe next year.

I completly agree with yoderoo and eroo52. Most of this line up did not wow me. Most of the bands I want to see I've seen in smaller places that I did not have to pay +200 for. I am sure there are some fans who have not bought their tickets and might buy them if there is a good late add. I am looking forward to a great time and hope to be surprised by some bands. Who is really the big act this year? I mean yeah there are bands that are headliners, but there is not a Springsteen, Stones, Phish on this line up. I'm saying the bands that can sell a 80,000 seat arena for multiple dates. Not saying we are going to get one, but it is still possible that Roger Waters and David Gilmour could perfom the Wall at the close and that could take some time to work out the details. And that would be awesome. Saw Roger last year best money spent.

I don't think there's going to be some BIG surprise. I think there will be a handful of small but great surprises/adds.
Maybe Roo was able to work out something with Odd Future. Perhaps they'll add Monsters of Folk for a Sunday set (Jim is there already, Conor and M. Ward are nearby on Saturday when their tour ends so they can travel there). We'll probably get a few reggae and electronic acts.
I don't think they'll announce some huge name as a surprise. I could be wrong.

I think you're setting yourself up for a huge disappointment. If there's one thing I've learned about the Roo organizers is that they aren't as crafty as we want them to be lol
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself

Roger Waters is in Europe during Bonnaroo playing shows there. He almost certainly will not be at Roo this year.
As for who the BIG headliners are.....for me they are Buffalo Springfield, Eminem, MMJ, and Arcade Fire. I know that you mentioned selling 80,000 seats on multiple nights but I don't really think that matters to me as much as being able to put on an entertaining show.
As for not paying 200+ to see a show of one of the smaller bands on the lineup.....that's just silly. Of course you didn't pay $ 200+ to see them at smaller venues......but the smaller venues also didn't have 150 other acts to see as well as great atmosphere and unique activities.

Last time I checked, the freakin Meters are going to be there. If that isn't a "wow"-inspiring part of the lineup to you then I think you have priority issues. I'll gladly give up seeing an arena-filling act for more wow factors like The Meters
