I am just going by what klim posted despite me knowing that anecdotal evidence is usually terrible to support a point. Klim is usually a pretty solid poster, so I wouldn't expect him to just make things up to get a rise out of people.
Never happened. If I remember correctly, everybody wanted the show to continue.
We don't really need another huge hip-hop add, and I feel like it's unlikely we end up with an add lower then 30 on the lineup b/c of the solid list they made. Big Boi not really playing any festivals is buggin me out though....

Big Boi would be a pretty big add and I hope when he returns it will be with 3 Stacks and they can be in the Beasties pre-headline spot on the What. An Outkast Tour seems possible next summer. I would like to see more 'old school' hip hop acts added to the undercard like J5, Gift of Gab or Latyrx (or just Lyrics Born solo).
I heard flanzo has a Kanye West doll that he sleeps with and sometimes they have tea parties and stuff together to discuss how awesome it's going to be the next time he plays bonnaroo.

Outkast is a headliner. An "unopposed for 2 full hours" headliner.
Think Eminem, but longer and better (THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!), not Beasties.

You mean "Mr. West's Ballin' As F*ck Tea Party?"
Yeah, we hold it every Sunday from spring to fall and we spend the first 30 minutes playing a game called "Fantastic Mr. West" where we go around and saying our favorite things about Kanye West, Kanye included.

I agree. Outkast would be every bit a headliner. But what I'm HOPING (operative word here, so keep this in mind flanzo) is that they play a time slot on the What similar to what the Beasties played in 09.
I think people get too caught up in the what is/is not a headliner discussion. Does Bjork count? She is on the 'head' line of the lineup. One of 4, I'd say that makes her a headliner regardless of her relative popularity.
p.s. I hope that that is the last time outkast and the beasties are compared in any way with eminem's performance that year.
I feel like the additions won't be of much significance this year. Unless its jam/bluegrass you're craving. This lineup will already sellout either way.

Keeping in mind this is all hypothetical, Outkast wouldn't play that same time slot (8:30-10:00). Unless they're doing a late night What (like Stevie/Jay-Z in 2010), they're probably going on anywhere from 9:30pm to 11:00pm if they're doing an unopposed set.
Bjork isn't a headliner, headliners play unopposed, but she's a pre-headliner and she deserves her slot on the lineup.
The Roo needs moar jams, brah. I thought I broke this thread for a minute. it wouldn't let me see page 19. Mr. West's Ballin' As F*ck Tea Party killed bonnaroo.
edit: wtf? are posts being deleted? posts keep moving on me.

I guess I disagree, I'd consider her a headliner as much as the Beasties who were listed 3rd (or 4th if you count Phish as two). Being a headliner doesn't only mean they go unopposed (look at most other festivals schedules - often times the 'headliners' are opposed). Bonnaroo is special but that designation seems a bit silly: That headliners are the bands who play unopposed regardless of where they fall on the actual lineup. Beasties and Bjork are both on the head line of the lineup, therefore - headliners.
None of which we will get in the additions. Expect low-mid tier artists. Lineup is pretty stacked as is.

1- You've made my sig, we've come a long way, haven't we?
2- Same thing was happening to me (deleting posts, or the 19th page being deleted altogether). It's probably a proboards issue, it's happens once in a while.

Unopposed headliners are what separates Roo from other festivals, though (not saying in a positive or negative way, but it does separate them).
Most people agree it's the unopposed shows that "headline." A lot think it's top line. As long as you're in one of those two camps, it's acceptable at least. The people that are being idiotic are the "top 6" folks.
Whatever, this is an even older and dumber argument than the Kanye one.

The year the Beasties played Roo made a specific announcement of what nights the "headliners" would be playing. In that announcement they talked about Phish and Bruce. No mention of Beasties or Byrne. Because of that I've always argued that the headliners that year were Phish, Bruce, and Phish.
Though this isn't to say "everyone who thought otherwise was wrong" since everybody tends to have different headliner definitions for Roo. For me, I just always tend to go with the top 3 names as the headliners (though 2010 makes that a little more difficult of a strategy).

Was unaware of such announcement. I guess that makes it really fuzzy then. In the case of Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z does that mean there we potentially had two headliners in one night? Because I'd like to pretend that KOL wasn't really a headliner that year either way.
