Clue #12: Pavement sticks to feet - From NC (Tar Heel) At front of hotel - Can't figure this one out Mixed from a blue book - Released numerous mixtapes and appeared on Blueprint 3 before he was signed to the Roc
Purity Ring, I guess? There were literally no other guesses that made sense. It doesn't really fit with the Galway bit, but who cares.
Just wanted to point out that it fits really well, imo - if you disagree that's cool but I wasn't sure if you may have just missed it because I know I missed it at first - whoever mentioned this in the thread wasn't terribly clear about it, so I didn't realize how well it fit until I actually looked at a map of Ireland. The region called the Claddagh, where the ring originated, is literally the shores of Galway. I think the second and third lines of that clue are just giving us the word "ring" since the first line gave us "purity."
That was me and I wasn't very clear. But the more I looked into purity rings and Galway, the more it made sense.

there was a schedule posted somewhere i cant find right now that said when they were broadcasting what today. if i can remember right it wasnt until early evening when they give the answers
They did drop the ball on not naming the clue answers today. Unless they resolve this soon, I officially will never end read a clue again. There is no point whatsoever to clues if we never find out the answers, even after the lineup drop. We will still just spin our wheels saying the answer could be this band on the lineup or that band on the lineup.

They released them from 6-7pm on radio Bonnaroo. When I'm not on mobile ill try and match what I heard, only half. They read the clue then played a song by them. They aren't supposed to announce the and explain them until tomorrow on Bonnaroo.com.

Ah man - #12 is totally Porter Robinson. He's from Chapel Hill and was on the Project Blue Book tour with Skrillex. And a porter waits at the front of a hotel. Duh.
And araabmuzik went to Hope High school of music in Providence.

After looking over the clues from this year and years past with the answers we have, these were better and easier.
So much bitching here and on facebook about them and I thought they were pretty well done minus the lack of a true haiku that some had, but that doesn't even matter.

Thank you for this sir, anyways the clues were so useless, used just for us to get more pumped and use their app/radio
I'm really glad people were right about Animal Collective. Otherwise I would have to apologize for being wrong and acting like an ass to several people. Now I don't have to apologize and I'm just an ass.
Clue # 7: Eric B's partner Is paid in full with pesos On the Harlem streets
Likely answers: A$AP Rocky. There's literally no question. Yes, he's also in Sweden or Denmark or some other weird country that weekend, but he can easily play both festivals two days apart. You know, planez bro. And no, it's definitely not f*cking Steve Martin.
