Kassidy, Bahamas, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Guess Who, CCR, Fleetwood Mac (Who wouldn't love to sing Landslide with 80,000 of their closest friends?!)
My all time wish list is to see Mumford and Sons at Bonnaroo, like we originally planned in '13, so if the rumors are true and they are Headlining for 2015, this will be like my actual Bonnaroo Wish coming true! 3
I have been reading the boards since 2012 but I guess I was very much a lurker and not a participator because I have never posted before now. We had planned on attending last year as well but Luke Bryan decided to play a 2 day show in St Louis and my husband was required to work both shows to keep his job working security for the venue. Instead we went to Beale St Festival and boy was it a different experience! Cannot wait to be back at the farm!
Name: James From: Nashville Favorite Bands: way too many. all over the place
First concert attended: Paul McCartney - Atlanta 93 (i think 93). I was 11 yrs old. Last concert attended: Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness Bonnaroos Attended: 13, 14, this year and counting Wishlist: Oasis, Foo Fighters, ...
I didn't even think about Oasis! That would be a great show at Bonnaroo!!

My friend and I camped out in "This Tent" for 5 hours with a total stranger just to get front row spots! Waiting through King Khan and Bouncing Souls before GL was...interesting....especially with King Khan doing an encore in a purple speedo. (also you can't beat Sir Paul in 2013) Favorite bands discovered at Bonnaroo: The Preatures, Of Monsters and Men, Walk the Moon, Edward Sharpe and the MZs, and Chrome-freaking-o First Concert Attended: When I was 12 I saw Rain, that awesome Beatles cover band. So I guess that counts. Last Concert Attended: Avett Brothers at Americana fest in September! Awesome day. Got to see Lone Bellow open for them too! Roo Wishlist: Arcade Fire please (I came too late!), Prince, of Montreal, Foo Fighters, Spoon, Bombay bicycle Club (why is nobody rallying for these guys to play Roo???) hologram of Jim Morrison and Ray for Doors reunion Superjam Years Attended: '13 and '14
seriously....Bombay bicycle club....2015...anybody? Not even one person?
Bombay was my favorite all around band of 2014. Got to see them 3 times. Hopefully they get the credit/fame/money they deserve one day.

Hey All- I've been lurking on here for about 6 months. Decided to finally say hey! I feel like I have a little bit of a different taste in music than many here, so don't hate on me too much!
Name: Kevin What my user name represents/means: At 30 I got my first tattoo... and in the 3 years since, I've become addicted. From: Madison, Wisconsin Favorite Bands: Justin Timberlake, Childish Gambino, Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalifa, Beatles, The Monkees, Nelly, Ludacris Favorite Books: I read lots of motivational/leadership books for work, but for pleasure I stick to sports magazines.

Kelly at Summerfest in probably 1994-95 Last Concert Attended: Lollapalooza 2014 Bonnaroos Attended: 2015 will be my first Bonnaroo Wishlist: Probably Justin Timberlake. He's my favorite and he puts on a great show!
Hi, my names Ben, and I've been lurking since about page 200 of the Headliner Thread. Decided with the lineup dropping tomorrow I'd better get my 10 posts in so I can interact with all the wonderful (and somewhat questionable...) people on Inforoo!
Name: Ben What my user name represents/means: My high school nicknames were Smurfdawg and Smurfy. Luckily the less bro one stuck. From: Cincinnati, OH Favorite Bands: Mumford and Sons (Don't judge me too much), Macklemore, Jack White, Alt-J, Dropkick Murphy's, 21 Pilots, Walk the Moon, list goes on Favorite Books: Michael Creighton and James Paterson are my go-tos, although right now I'm trudging my way through the 5th Game of Thrones Favorite Movies: Lucky Number Sleven, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Favorite TV shows: Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, House of Cards First Concert Attended: My parents say it was Willie Nelson when I was 5, don't remember it. First I remember was Five Finger Death Punch. Not really my style anymore, but it was a great show Last Concert Attended: New Politics Bonnaroos Attended: 2013, 2014, and I can't wait for 2015! Bonnaroo Wishlist: With so many bands already confirmed, I'm not sure what to put here. Alt-J, Die Antwoord, and Macklemore were some of my favorite past Roo performances, so I'd love to see them again. Moon Hooch would be awesome. Going along with the whole "But what if there's one more headliner" trend, I'd kill to see Tool or anything Maynard show up, but I'll just keep dreaming.

Hi! First off I've been an anonymous lurker since 2010. Mainly for early confirmations. My name is Jacob and I've been to 4 Bonnaroos. (2010,2012,2013, and 2014) I skipped a year to see what Hangout was about and had to get back to the Farm every year since. I would say Dispatch in 2012 would have to be my favorite Roo moment. I lost my dad May 26th that year and 2 months prior he gave me two tickets to take my girlfriend to her first and my second Bonnaroo. After my dad passed away I became extremely reclusive. I didn't want to waste my tickets so we headed for the Farm. I was in a funk until half way through Dispatch's set. Before the band played Out Loud they dedicated the song to anyone who had lost someone recently. I felt for the first time in that I was in the right place at the right time and the farm has become a home away from home. Now I feel that same passion and positivity every time I am on the Farm. I really dig jam bands and certain electronic dance music. I'm an avid poster and pin collector. Can't wait for the lineup . tomorrow!!
Hey, I'm Tim. I've been lurking since the headliner thread started. I came across the site last year though before my first roo when I was looking for packing tips.

First concert I chose to attend was OAR in high school Last Concert Attended: Flux Pavilion Bonnaroos Attended: 2014, soon to be 2015 Bonnaroo Wishlist: Bring back the jam bands! WSP, Phish
