all the high praise from people around here I respect is encouraging me to give Major Lazer another shot, but I was pretty disappointed with their set at voodoo. Vocals turned up way high, lots of shouting from the MCs to "get up dance yeah yeah yeah" with the beats coming in pretty weak from behind.
I hate feeling like a drill sergeant MC is ordering me to have a good time in lieu of the DJ just dropping the beats that make me have a good time. You don't have to tell me to get down, just give me something to get down to.
I do love their tunes though. Maybe the sound was just mixed crappy at voodoo.

If you didn't like them at Voodoo, you won't like 'em here. The voodoo set was a typical Major Lazer show (albeit with the worst crowd I have ever seen-Voodoo crowd is awful overall). The roo show will be 1,000x crazier, the music will be the same. You should see Diplo by himself if you don't like the vocals.

thanks for the reality check. i actually will be seeing diplo DJ in march, I am looking forward to that. and I agree the voodoo crowd, especially around the EDM stage, tends toward the young and awful.
BUT, if I end up on the farm, and there are no serious conflicts, I will at least check out major lazer for a few minutes.

I feel like it's very possible that Santigold will be added and she'll join Major Lazer for "Hold the Line", like she did when I saw them at Terminal 5 in NYC. I could even see a Santigold > Major Lazer LN tent. That is, if she gets added, which I think she will.
2012 shows: 3/23 - The Men 4/9 - Of Monsters & Men 4/21 - Bassnectar 5/2 - Shpongle 5/22 - Jack White 6/1 - tUnE-yArDs 6/7-6/10 - Bonnaroo 2012 6/18 - Destroyer 6/20 - The Tallest Man On Earth 6/23-6/24 - Governor's Ball

I saw them at Outside Lands last summer and came away feeling roughly the same as particle. What they played had little resemblance to their album and they didn't have live vocals. This would have been mostly okay if it weren't for that annoying hype man. He did nothing but shout "Can't hear ya in the back" and crap like that. He'd just run around on stage and say these things over and over. It really took away the fun for me. If you guys have a problem with Wayne Coyne's banter then be prepared for this dude.
Their set was during the afternoon though and I ended up leaving after a half hour. At night in a tent will most likely be a much more fun situation. It will be a total party, but go in knowing what to expect.
There hasn't been a true Major Lazer set in a about a year now. Switch stopped doing live shows with them in 2011 sometime. However, I have heard that since Major Lazer will be touring behind a new record due this summer, Switch will be back with Diplo.

he probably got sick of diplo. But I hope he will be there. been looking forward to this for awhile. It might just be me but I dont believe Lazer's set really works while the suns up.
Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do is the debut full-length album by Major Lazer, collaborative music project from DJ/Producers Diplo and Switch. The album is heavily influenced by Jamaican dancehall music and features guest appearances from Jamaican artists on every track.
So my question is: Can we expect to see all the Jamaican artists that contributed to the album at Roo? Is there a select few that perform with them? Is it just Diplo and Switch on stage?
The posts have been pretty mixed as far as what people have seen in the past. I just feel it would be disappointing without live vocals. It's the Jamaican artists that MAKE this album.

Probably not. I assume we'll get DJs with pre-tracked vocals, and their hype-man just yelling crazy shit.
What bonnaroo needs to do is have a Jamaican Dancehall tent curated by Major Lazer. Not only would that be awesome, but then we can have our live vocals.

In the live videos I've seen, I'm honestly turned off by the hype-man yelling at the crowd to dance/jump/scream/do the hokey pokey.........I'm glad on Roo's Bio page its promoting both Switch and Diplo being present, but is it wishful thinking for them to leave behind the hype man for Roo? I mean, bring on the ladders, and the dancers, but that hype man seems annoying.
I know a number of people who feel the same way about the hype man. They just get tired of hearing, "I say Major; you say Lazer" over and over and over again. I didn't notice it so much last year at North Coast, so maybe they're listening to some of the feedback they're getting. By they way, Diplo is the man!
