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!!
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).
Makes sense, though i usually count the top 5, if you notice on their facebook page, they list: macca, mumford, petty, bjork, and wilco. Top 5 makes it a bit more flexible.
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 is playing Summer Camp, but other than that yea he seems to be pretty removed from the circuit. summercampfestival.com/lineup/
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.
Like I said, I was just going off what klim said. I wasn't at that show myself. Either way, I was just throwing out an idea. I am a follower in the batting order argument that I put forth earlier.
I wouldnt be surprised if we get some of these added: Frank Ocean, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Miguel, Tegan & Sara, Cold War Kids, Airborne Toxic Event, Imagine Dragons, Azealia Banks, Zedd.
I would love Tegan and Sara, but they will be out of country according to their tour dates.

Lotus has a new album and tour dates that end June 08 with nothing until EFF on June 27-30 (though the first year they played Thursday so I'd expect the 28th or 29th in this case). They aren't big but are gaining a good bit of steam with this new release. I think if they had one of the late night tents go (Conspirator <-> Lotus), it would keep a large number of flatbrimmers (and possibly myself) busy for the duration of the night.
Lotus would be a killer add. I expect a few bigger acts but mostly mid-level acts to be added. I am also excited by what Cafe acts they get. Cafe Where (By the back of the What Stage) has become one of my favorite stops for newer acts

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure klim was joking, and tacking onto the "snowballing of rumors" that was happening in this thread at that moment. Phil was on Which and Kanye was on What, so there is no reason why anyone would actually do that. I was at Sigur Ros -> waiting for Kanye that evening, so I cannot speak to that with certainty.
I didn't go in '08, so I am only going off what I have read from other people. klimfactor, what say you?
Sorry for the delayed response, but yes, I was being facetious. All that "Phil hate Bonnaroo stuff" drives me absolutely nuts. I was at the Phil show, but ultimately abandoned my friends there for Sigur Ros. There was no thrown Sanuk. I figured that was so over the top, like a lot of the Kanye-Phil stuff, it would have been obvious. That's the limitation to message boards, I guess. You can't see a grinning - or in the case of my reaction to the never-ending Kanye-Phil stuff - an annoyed-looking face.

Hoping for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MGMT, and She & Him to be added!
All three are on the Kanrocksas line-up that came out today which is two weeks after Roo. Most of the line-up sucks and it doesnt have any headliners but I would like to see those three.
Turtles are, actually quite sexy, if you think about it. I’m getting an erection just thinking about turtles. No, not a stripper named turtles, that’s not funny. Actual turtles.

Hey, I haven't been following this thread at all. Have people been confirming any acts or all just wishes/speculation? I ask because I'm going to see Yonder Mountain on Sunday and wanted to see if I should ask if they will be appearing at Roo. They'll be at Waka and Electric Forest, but they don't have any shows in between according to their website. Just wasn't sure if anyone might have asked previously or if it had been discussed and I didn't know because I haven't been following this thread.
So when are we thinking we'll get the first batch of additional acts? ACE has their hands full with Forecastle next week, so perhaps the week after?
Since 2007, here are the lineup drop dates and date of the first batch of additions:
2007 -- Feb 14/Mar 28 (6 weeks after initial announcement) 2008 -- Feb 7/Feb 27 (3 weeks) 2009 -- Feb 3/Mar 25 (7 weeks) 2010 -- Feb 10/Mar 4 (3 weeks) 2011 -- Feb 15/Apr 7 (7 weeks) 2012 -- Feb 14/Mar 12 (4 weeks)
No REAL discernible pattern here, but I have a feeling this year we may have to wait a little longer due to (what I imagine to be) strong ticket sales. I guess the soonest we can expect it is the week of March 11th, and the latest we can expect is the second week of April.

Reasonable theory: The first week of April, based purely on the pattern of long-short-long-short Crazy theory: Additions are somehow tied to whether or not the groundhog saw his shadow?
