I would love for some more jam bands. Leftover would be great, but Mikey Hart band would be even better. I don't see any more big additions, but if they did I would be pumped. I really enjoyed the years where jam bands where the lineup.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
You know they still have festivals where jam bands are the lineup right?
You know even if people have a favorite genre for live shows they still like other stuff as well right? I never see the edm fans getting hate for wanting more edm on the lineup.

First off, the example that follows isn't directed at you.
I think the difference with people who want EDM is that it is usually a request. They like/love Roo but would just like to see more of something they like on the line-up, i.e. my complaint about metal this year.
The hate for those who come on asking for more jam bands is a by-product of some displaced annoyance with those who choose to whine and complain about how Bonnaroo has sold out, sucks now, etc. as if the fact that it started out as a jam based festival means that it has to be that forever. Like I said, not everyone does this, but enough people have that even bringing up the more jam bands request brings up a lot of ill will.

While I know they're unlikely, I still hope you're right about this, Manders! I been holding a candle for these guys playing 'Roo this year, since early January.
If not, will definitely catch 'em @ the Ryman in Sept.
I wonder if the delay of the late night announcements means they're working on booking one (or two) last late night acts. If there was a post-RHCP main stage set on Saturday night that they were trying to fill, that would maybe be considered a late night.

There might not be a delay. They don't always announce who is playing late night.
1-1-12 Bassnectar NYE SHOW! 1-21-12 G. Love and Special Sauce 3-1-12 Radiohead 3-9-12 Experience Hendrix 5-15-12 Jack White @ The Ryman 6-7-12 Bonnaroo 6-19-12 Roger Waters presents "THE WALL" 7-7-12 Ringo Starr's 72nd Birthday Party Extravaganza at the Ryman
Honestly worst lineup of any years. I am still pumped to go though. I think it will be a great year to hang out with friends.
No. If we're to look at all of the lineups of all of the years, last year's was by far the worst. There's a ton of great acts on lineup this year.
Eminem & Lil'Wayne? Seriously? The Headliners were weak last year. Still, there were plenty of acts that I loved and the undercard was where it was at last year. Eminem's performance was just terrible though.
Radiohead, RHCP, and Phish (2 Sets) - All headliner worthy. Beach Boys - great nostalgic act. Look at this undercard too: The Roots, The Shins, The Avett Brothers, Feist, Alice Cooper, Danzig Legacy, Black Star, The Word, Flogging Molly, Puscifer, Umphrey's McGee, The Civil Wars, Das Racist, Trampled by Turtles, Mogwai, Foster the People, fun., Bad Brains, Ben Folds Five, The Superjam, and hell - even Kenny Rogers baking in the sun would be fun to see.
This is a decent lineup and is comparable to years in the past. Do I wish for more adds? Yes. Do I wish for Jack White and Neil Young? Yes. But that is not to say that "this is the worst lineup" - What we have is still really, really good.
