It's lineups like these that make me ask questions like, "Why am I so poor?", "Why can't I pick a cheaper hobby?", and "Do I really have my priorities straight paying rent this month?"
I would take this lineup any day over Coachella. It is chocked full of bands I love and haven't seen. I only hope that Bonnaroo can pull a couple of those.
Also, if Jack White is the #1 headliner here, what makes everyone think Bonnaroo can get him for the second line?

It's bizarre to see Jack White solo headlining. Hopefully he'll be playing lots of White Stripes stuff, otherwise that doesn't mean a lot to me. This is a quacking nice lineup though. As soon as I saw Beck I got very, very happy.
Yeah, this is how I feel. Of course I love his other bands, but it is really weird seeing his name solo at the top of the lineup. I think that might be a bit of a stretch for them unless, like you said, he's playing Stripes stuff. If he has a band and he's playing TWS stuff, then that is definitely huge. I'm really curious to see how his solo sets go.
I like this lineup alot better then Last year, but I am surprised I feel like the top bands last year would cost alot more then this years. I would much rather see Jack White then the Foo Fighters but Im surprised they would be on the same same pay scale. ehh guess it doesnt really matter. This lineup is solid

White's obviously a fan of covers, so I'm sure he'll pad the set out with a few of those. If he does play White Stripes songs, I doubt he plays more than a few of them, and he'll probably opt for deep cuts over "Seven Nation Army" and the like. That's just a gut feeling, though.
On a side note, if you take out a few names like Spiritualized, Beck, Pretty Lights, Tenacious D, Beirut, etc. and add the three headliners (Radiohead*RHCP*Phish) as well as names like The Beach Boys, Drake, The Word, The Avett Brothers, this could almost read as the entire undercard for Bonnaroo. When you look at it like that, it's a pretty damn incredible lineup.
wow i expected to come here and see everything BITCHING about the lineup. I agree the depth is great and they did a great job on the undercard, but the headliners are extremely underwhelming for me personally.

I personally wouldn't want him to do WS stuff except for songs Meg didn't really appear on such as "I'm Bound to Pack it Up", and "You've got her in your pocket". Wouldnt be the same with some other drummer and I just wanna hear the new songwriting. I'm sure at the very least he will throw in a couple cool covers as always with the songs from the solo album.

For the most part they wrote them together and it's listed as such. I can't count those.
edit: Now that I look it up there are a few in which he isn't listed as a songwriter at all. I think he mostly worked from behind the kit aside from lyrics.
