Oh, dang. I hope it's Miike Snow. They're from Stockholm -- stockholm syndrome makes victims think they're infallible, like God. Dunno about the whole garden thing though... I just super hope the answer's Miike Snow. Bwahaha
*** I guessed Miike Snow, not Antlers. I want to know why Miike Snow was ruled out, again? I couldn't seem to find it...

Titus and Miike have been ruled out in the Artist Confirmation thread.
but IMO everyone is putting way too much faith in that thread

I have to take back the Miike Snow being ruled out thing. I have then on my own No list but for the life of me I can't figure out where it came from. Sorry.
I still think Miike Snow is a bad guess for the same reason Antlers are: what's the Garden/NYC connection?

Sorry, I jumped a term. Where victims see their CAPTORS as infallible, with empathy, and sometimes defend them fervently. Regardless of negative action, they think they're in the right. Often revering them or even loving them -- and looking to them, in their perceived benevolence -- as having done them kindness. Much like one could view god, choosing the fate of their victims and choosing to show kindness. I often forget the rest of the world is not in my head, and that gaps must be bridged. But yes, this is what stockholm syndrome is.
Offerings from the garden...There is a concert series in central park every year. They are usually free. There have been some big concerts in central park.
There's SummerStage that's been a series for 25 years now. Foster the People, Young the Giant and M83 are the headliners this year, not sure if that means anything...

Welp, my desperate Miike Snow theory: Lead singer Andrew Wyatt is from Manhattan, New York (same place as Madison Square Garden, yah?) and was the final piece to forming Miike Snow. Add in the Sylvia bit, and I can make a case.
using the logic behind 'Sylvia', The Antlers is the closest. But if that were the answer I think Gary would thumbs up the post or at least post saying that someone has guessed the answer.
Someone mentioned MSG and people who've played there recently: Foo Fighters sold it out in November. And Dave Grohl won NME's "god-like genius" award last year?
It's a stretch to make it work, but I'd still love to see them there haha

It really seems like MSG must be the garden in question. I was actually thinking that earlier but was never able to get much of anywhere with it.
The only thing I could think of was that the main things the Garden offers (apart from concerts) are the Rangers and the Knicks..."Rangers" is a song by A Fine Frenzy and she's got a new album coming out soon, but I can't manage to connect her to Sylvia at all.
Rooin' since '05...(except 2014...worst June of my life!)
"Hey Peter Frampton! Do you like toast too? Yes, as do I. It is warm and crispy, and a perfect place for jelly to lay. Now stay the hell away from me Frampton, I ain’t got sh*t to say to you!"
"A cottage built in Sweden in 1875 and placed in central park in 1877. As a sign of patriotism, both the Swedish and American flags are flown from the rooftop."
So there's your Miike Snow NYC-Sweden connection. Add that to the Sylvia reference and I would say this one is solved.
First post here (been lurking for a few days), so I'm gonna give it my best shot:
Offerings from the garden; "I think you're God".
GC's hints:
The garden is at the core of the big apple. Sylvia is a bit more theatrical
The Garden refers to Madison Square Garden Sylvia is the name of a A.R. Gurney play
Thus, the clue has to do with some band playing at MSG and who is somehow tied to Sylvia. Sylvia who? Sylvia Plath maybe?
Of the people that are playing at MSG in the next few months the only ones I could think of that would play Bonnaroo would be:
Bruce Springsteen or The Black Keys.
Search for The Black Keys and Sylvia and what do you get?
Three Women - A poem by Sylvia Plath (http://www.americanpoems.com/poets/sylviaplath/1453)
From 4th stanza of said poem:
And the man I work for laughed: 'Have you seen something awful? You are so white, suddenly.' And I said nothing. I saw death in the bare trees, a deprivation. I could not believe it. Is it so difficult For the spirit to conceive a face, a mouth? The letters proceed from these black keys, and these black keys proceed From my alphabetical fingers, ordering parts,
The whole them being from Sweden and their being a Swedish Cottage in central park sealed the deal for me.
to take it a step further. Shakespeare Garden was created directly adjacent to the Swedish cottage in central park, because the park commissioner wanted a garden next to the nature observatory located in the Swedish Cottage. It has all the flowers mentioned in Shakespeare's plays and poems in it. That's a pretty big "offering from the garden".
I know everyone is ignoring them, but I am pretty sure it is Jay Z and Kanye West.
They played at Madison square garden together, hence the Offerings from the garden garychardonnay: "You can find the garden in the core of the big apple." -The fact that offerings is plural leads me to think that is two well known people. It could also be a group, but it does not really fit with the rest of the clue. Also, the big apple is obviously NYC and Madison Square Garden has been apart of that for a long time. Also fits the fact that you can't eat any of the offerings from this garden. When he says you can find the garden in the core, it has to be something that everyone would recognize and I don't think the Antlers have connection to that statement.
Jay-Z was called by fans Jay Hova, like Jehova, which goes perfectly with garychardonnay: ""I think you're God." is a bit more theatrical." The theatrics being the diamond hand signal and changing Jay-Z to essentially jesus. -Also, the fact that I think you're god blends with the fact that by fans calling them Jehova, that is exactly what they are saying.
A Jay-Z and Kanye act just fits with a growing Bonnaroo. They diversified their acts last year by including more hip hop and I do not think they would just skip a hip hop headliner. I think ticket sales were too good for them to go back from that. To the people that think Jay-Z was just there, they forget that My Morning Jacket and Iron & Wine appeared at Bonnaroo in close together years if not consecutive years.
