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!!
I am interested in how you have spent your time while on the farm in past years.
We make these schedules but how did you actually spend your time? Did you watch as many shows as planed?
OK here are the real questions: 1) What time did you actually enter Centeroo for shows 2) How much of your time was spent at camp (minus sleep)? 3) How many shows do you average seeing a day? 4) What time do you leave Centeroo? 5) How much sleep each day? 6) Did you see most of what you planned on seeing?

1) There are always noon shows I want to get to, but I never end up in Centeroo 'til about 2-3PM.
2) Wake up at 8-9am, hang about camp til 12-1pm, then explore the pods a bit before heading to Centeroo. Return somewhere around 7-9 to gear up for the pm, drink a few beers. Back to Centeroo by 10pm, little later if I'm not crazy about the headliner.
3) I usually get in 9-10 shows a day. Only about 5-6 on Sunday though.
4) 2am or so Thursday. Sunrise on Fri./Sat. 'Til the musics over on Sunday.
5) 3-4 hours a night usually. Then about 18 hours when I get home.
6) I never see everything I plan on seeing. I'd say I get around 75% though. I do, however, end up seeing a bunch of great things I never expected to!

Last year was my first Bonnaroo.
1. Usually entered Centeroo around 11:00 am. Once the sun came up there was no going back to sleep. Instead of just sitting around doing nothing, I decided to get going as soon as I could. Avoided lines going into Centeroo and didn't miss any noon shows. I have made some changes that should make it easier to get some extra sleep this year but I'm not sure how I feel about it. I kind of liked being up early and not missing anything.
2. I spent almost zero time at camp. Hung out all day Thursday. Besides that, I was at camp to sleep and for about 45 minutes each morning.
3. I see about 7-8 shows a day. I always watch whole sets instead of jumping around.
4. Usually leave Centeroo around 3:00-3:30 am
5. I would guess about six hours Thursday night and four hours a night the rest of the weekend.
6. I had no problem keeping to schedule and I saw everything I wanted to.
1) The earliest was on Sunday around 2 in the afternoon but the rest of the days I think I went in around 3 or 4.
2) Spent most of the mornings at camp beating the heat and people watching. We were right on the road from BFE to the Arch so we got to see some intersting things. I will never forget the first thing I awoke to Thursday morning. There was a kid wearing only cut off jeans walking barefoot down the path, a parking cone on his head, and a stick with a bubble machine tapped to it. He was walking down the path in his own parade making bubbles smiling!
3) I think about 5-6 depends on who is playing.
4) I leave a few times if camp is close. Go back have a beer eat a little. But during late nights Im there until I have to leave.
5) less than 4 hours a day
6)Yes!!! I was dead tired before Gogol but when they came on I was in the midst of it all dancing my butt off..

1) 2-3:30 - sometimes earlier if a must-see show 2) A couple hours in the morning / a couple hours at sunset 3) Usually between 6 and 8, half of which are partial sets 4) 3-5 AM 5) Until 10 or 10:30 -- 5 to 6 hours 6) I choose 3 or 4 that I want to see straight though and a couple more that I want to catch at least a part of.
1) What time did you actually enter Centeroo for shows
Thursday I try and get in as soon as I can to start catchin' some tunes. Fri/Sat/Sun I usually don't make it until 2pm-ish unless there is some one I really wanna see. But those early shows can be brutal with the heat!
2) How much of your time was spent at camp (minus sleep)?
Usually four or so hours in the mornin'/early afternoon. Dependin' on how far away camp is I usually go back fer an hour or so just before/after the headliner dependin' on the schedule and whether I want to see them or not. Then maybe another hour or so after the latenights and how tired I am.
6) Did you see most of what you planned on seeing?
I usually catch at least 70-80% of what I want to. Sometimes catchin' somebody I've never seen or heard of though can be the best surprise of the weekend!
