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 just met Ashley Capps. Radiohead was brought up.
Gonna need more on this. Also going to need to know if I was brought up at all.
Amazingly enough you were not brought up NoD.
Hollie spotted Ashley while we were eating at Tupelo Honey. I confirmed it was indeed him with two other tables full of inforoosters. I waited for him to finish his phone call and pounced.
Introduced myself, told him I was enjoying the festival, blah blah blah. I finished off with "work on getting us Radiohead for Bonnaroo please". He said, "We are working on it." I thanked him and turned to leave. He grabbed my arm and asked if there were rumors. He seemed to be genuinely interested. I told him that there were always rumors, and if there weren't, we made them up.
Understand, that I am sure they are always working on getting Radiohead. Really getting them is another matter.

I don't know how excited I am going to be for Radiohead if the majority of the show is the King Of Limbs stuff, it is not my favorite on album and none if seems like it is going to jump out and be great live.

I really like the album, but it's also a mixture of stuff that Four Tet, Burial, and Flying Lotus were doing before, all of which I love. So if you don't like that brand of electronic music, I can see preferring their more poppy stuff.
I agree with that NoD but honestly I think that even non-TKOL lovers will be swayed if they do play Roo. They will more than likely open with Bloom at most of the shows on this tour, and Bloom live is just what the fuck. Not to mention that Codex and Give up the Ghost are both bone-chilling live.
Also you have to take into account that even if they get a headlining set at roo and play all of TKOL that still leaves like 1.5-2 hours for them to play everything else.

How long do you think the set would be? It was certainly under 3 hours last time as best I can recall. Just looking up the youtube it was two sets at 1:08 and 1:13 of music so 2.5 total total playing time.
You saw them live recently, so I will give you that, but bone chilling ambient is not exactly what I want at Bonnaroo. I will be curious to see what their tour set looks like next year. Remember in 06 they were not touring on an album so we got greatest hits plus some In Rainbows stuff. I am sure they will be fun regardless but for instance I would not pay to see them outside Bonnnaroo unless they were playin g a substantial amount of older stuff as well.

I like TKOL a whole lot, but if and when I see them next year (if they play anywhere in the south, I'm there), I do hope they play a good amount of stuff from In Rainbows, Kid A, and OK Computer.
Also if Bonnaroo books Radiohead, they need to book FlyLo for a late night that night. I would think he would almost certainly be able to get Thom Yorke to show up at his set and even if he didn't, FlyLo would positively rip a Bonnaroo late night to shreds.

My guess is they're going to play every song from TKOL on like 90% of their dates like they did for IR. But that's a little under half their set. It's not like they're going to play a festival and play a bunch of unrecognizable songs.

Yeah, to be honest I was slightly disappointed when I read that they'd be focusing the setlist primarily on TKOL and some In Rainbows. I've never seen Radiohead before and I'd like to see the classics the first time I see them.

I think they'd get 2-2.5 hours. TKOL is something like 37 minutes long.
"He grabbed my arm and asked if there were rumors."
At this point, you totally should have said "Yeah, someone with an inside connection at superfly claims that Paul McCartney, Tool, Daft Punk, and Insane Clown Posse have already been booked, and that you guys are still working on the Saturday night headliner."
I wonder what his reaction would have been... especially to ICP.
The TKOL material translated extraordinarily well at Roseland. I, for one, already loved the new material, so maybe I'm a little biased as to any of this stuff getting played at Bonnaroo.
I do feel like the setting at Roseland was much more apporpriate for the new material and for a Radiohead show in general. Much cooler than seeing them at Verizon Wireless Amplitheatre in Charlotte. Don't be too disappointed if they tour but don't play Bonnaroo. It's likely we'll have the chance to see them play more intimate shows, which IMO is way better than them playing amplitheater sheds.

There's no way I'll miss Atlanta. Last time all my friends did Atlanta except me and one other who went to Charlotte instead (I was in Boone at the time). Luckily I got to see them again later in the summer with all of my friends at Lolla. It sounded like the Charlotte show might have been better, though.

If the FL dates fell on a weekend I would try to do St Pete as well, but I really can't take the time off.
I HAVE to get floor seats for this (It'll be GA floor, right?) I'm so glad they're doing arenas this time around. My seats at the amphitheater last time around sucked so bad.
Atlanta's going to be drawing the GA, SC, TN, NC, AL, and MS fans. I think this one will go incredibly fast.
You're right. Plus it's on the larger side of cities they're hitting, behind only Dallas, Houston, and Miami. It's cool that they're doing the South first, though!

So no western dates announced yet. Those guys are definitely gonna be at Coachella. Now I have to decide on buying tix to the Dallas show or not spoil it and see it there...hmmm
