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!!
Seven years ago, TPATH were on their 30th anniversary tour with Stevie Nicks, Tom had a new album coming that July, and Peter Bogdonavich was filming shows. This time, the most recent album will be three years old. Full Moon Fever is one year away from a big anniversary. Even I'm kind of surprised Bonnaroo wants Tom Petty back this year.
Popular theory is twofold: first, they booked Macca, so they have less of a budget for the other headliners, and Petty won't be too expensive. Second, the rumor is they're trying to move away from the "only jambands headline Sunday night" thing, and the feeling is that Petty would be a great transition booking in that slot.
So you were on the bonnaroo scheduling conference call from your moms basement?

I always feel like I'm in the movie idiocracy when I'm in this thread. Right now you are talking like a tard, jugz. Dont worry scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. she's a pilot now.

Stop taking yourself so seriously.
You do realize that there are actually people who post on this board (and I'm not necessarily referring to myself) who actually do know some people, and actually can confirm certain things? Maybe wander away from this abortion of a thread and check out the rest of the place, you might learn something.
It's okay. When the lineup drops I'll come back just to remind you how terrible you are.
I can only hope to be so lucky that I get to hear from you when the lineup drops!
And I hope you get a nice raging hard on from proving someone wrong on the Internet.

Amen, bro. All you can do is laugh nerds like this off and get your pump on.

Alright so who remembers how many artists HMF added after the initial announcement last year and when did they make the additions? How many artists do you guys think will be added to this lineup besides this mystery headliner?

I counted 50 bands last year and 51 already this year. It was a quick count so if I'm off by a few save your breath, I apologize. Doesn't sound like there will be many more, if any, besides the headliner.
It doesn't look like there will be more than a handful of additions based on the number of acts in the initial lineup. Just my .02.
It's hard to know for sure, because I just did a quick count and there was quite a bit of variance in number of acts between 2011 and 2012. 2012 had 51, and 2011 had 64. We're right around 50 right now. I'd guess just the added headliner and some comedians.
So who's the third chevy stage closer? TAB, Shins, and Black Crowes? Seems like Black Crowes would be better suited to play the main stage before the headliner to me. We could get one more big name unless they let Assnectar close chevy which I don't see happening if they didn't let Skrilley Bear do that last year. Here's hoping for one more big name besides the mystery headliner.

My bands I like:
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers | Kings Of Leon Bassnectar | Kendrick Lamar | The Black Crowes | Slightly Stoopid The Roots | Steve Aoki | Passion Pit | Gov't Mule | Jim James | Public Enemy moe. | Galactic | Lissie | Ryan Bingham | The Sheepdogs | Moon Taxi
I would go if it doesn't sell out until the schedule is released. Did it sell out quickly last years?

Really bummed about the lineup.
The headliners are ok... And the second tier bands aren't bad either, it's the smaller bands I'm bummed about. Revivalists, moon taxi, anders, and galactic all play around here all the time.
The "techno" lineup is lackluster compared to oakenfold and kaskade. I really enjoyed that tent last year.
I've been checking out a lot of these bands I haven't really heard of and so far I'm not overly impressed.
Kings of Leon will be fun, I think. I'm not really a fan, but I like that around comes sundown album. And I think hearing some of those songs at sunset will be great.
I'll have a blast regardless, I'm just disappoints with a lot of the smaller acts.

Two weeks. I'm willing to bet even quicker this year.

Avetts Bros, Band of Horses would really help me out personally. But they haven't asked me for help yet. Also a headliner with a new album would be great. I feel like this a 90s rewind festival.

Bad luck on Hangout's part that EDC NYC picked 5/17-18. For most EDM acts, it's a no-brainer: a jam/indie/alternative/classic rock fest or EDC?
I thought Hangout was building some good momentum with EDM acts after the past two years. I was really hoping for Knife Party and someone like deadmau5 or Tiesto.
I was possibly looking at hangout this year but this makes it easy. The lineup isn't strong enough to get me there. It's decent, and a few nice acts there and the beach but there isn't an act that pushes me over the top to go.
Disappointing, but I'm alright with it. Maybe I'll add deLuna if that lineup is good

Black Crowes definitely don't feel right in that spot. I'd like to see The Roots close it down again, but they're 10th billed. All of the hip hop will probably play the tent anyway. There is not nearly enough untz to fill 3 days worth of tent spots.
I bet Bassnectar plays against the mystery headliner.
