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!!
Okay, the new web site is up with a new message board, so it is time to take a stand for Inforoo....
I've been registered and have been reading Inforoo for a while (pleased to meet you all), but I don't think I've ever commented because I wasn't sure that I would be going to Roo. I've never been but always wanted to. This year looks like a sure thing.
