Tame Impala! After binging on innerspeaker I can't wait to check them out live. Never heard of The National as well, and they're moving up my list of must see bands more every day
I think Holy Ghost are gonna have to be my Cut Copy replacement for this year.... I still wish Cut Copy would be an addition but i'm realistic, don't see this really happening. Holy Ghost will have to suffice.
Any recommendations for a guy who hates most pop or edm music?
These are my newest discoveries:
Father John Misty - Folky rock & roll
Django Django - hard to explain, kind of retro, kind of modern, totally infectious
Alt-J - A little like Kid A era Radiohead. Intricate gems
JD McPherson - Old School rock & roll (think Elvis or Jerry Lee Lewis)
I love all of these new acts and only started listening to them after the lineup drop
Thanks dude. I listened to a little Father John Misty when they were confirmed early, and thought it was pretty good. Looks like my Thursday will be a lot more open than last year so I'll probably check them out. Alt-J did nothing for me, but I've never been a big radiohead fan anyway (I know that's blasphemy around these parts). Downloading JD McPherson now, I'm a sucker for throwbacks like that. The one song I heard gave me a Chuck Berry vibe which is great
I have really started listening to Django Django here in the last week or so and they are quickly becoming a Top 10 show for me. The term folk-tronica never made sense to me until I heard this album. Great harmonies, interesting percussion, enough electronic influence to make me think their live show is going to be a huge party.
Edit- Thanks to whoever moved this. I looked, but couldn't find a thread.
I can vouch for Matthew E. White. Saw him at Hopscotch last year and was just amazed. Gonna be great on a Sunday "morning".
Of the bands that I just started paying attention to since the lineup announcement, I would have to say that Ex-Cops, Bombino, Bjork, and The Vaccines have grown on me the most.
Local Natives/Passion Pit/Milo Greene/Father John/Amadou and Mariam/David Byrne and St. Vincent/Tom Petty...etc etc
Macca was the only act I really knew when I signed up for this and I'm so glad I've discovered so much new music. There are others but those above are my fav.
There's so many. Bonnaroo really introduced me to a lot of awesome music. Twenty one pilots, foals, Portugal. The man, local natives, the tallest man on earth, and the vaccines are all bands I learned about from Bonnaroo that I just can't get enough of. My biggest post-lineup find though has to be Frank Turner. He just hit the lyrical nail on the head for me with every song. Absolutely love his music.
10/19/14-Phantogram
11/29/14-New Politics, Bad Suns
4/17/15-Hippo Campus, Night Riots, The Mowglis
5/1/15-Penn State Movin' On Music Festival-New Politics, Passion Pit, Big Gigantic, Big Sean
6/11/15-6/14/15-Bonnaroo!
6/21/15 - Paul McCartney
6/27/15-Halsey, Imagine Dragons

This is the year in which I am most familiar with the majority of the bands when the lineup hit but there were still some bands I discovered which is one of the best parts of Roo.
In order of excitement: Purity Ring, Foals, Father John Misty, Alt-J, Boys Noize, and Drew Holcomb

Tough call on this one id have to group all these pretty closely(Django Django, Foals, Lord Huron, Bombino & Wild Nothing), with Django Django slightly edging out the rest. These are some of the songs played live that sold me on these bands post line up drop.
Allen Stone is probably my biggest post-lineup find. He quickly became one of my must see acts. And also, Local Natives. I've been obsessing over them lately. Honestly though, a majority of the bands I will end up seeing this year are ones that I hadn't listened to before seeing the lineup, so I have a lot of post line-up finds.

Ya we just discovered Allen Stone from wanting to be early to ALO and pretty awesome for sure.

Local Natives and Wild Nothing.
I actually caught Local Natives on Spotify What's New one week. Listened to Hummingbird but quickly lost interest. Revisited it and fell in love. Next to hearing Victoria Legrand's mystifying alto voice, I can't wait to hear these guys live.
And I had heard great things about WN Nocturne and finally gave it a listen - was pleasantly surprised. And now his new EP 'Empty Estate' just slays. So yea I'm pretty excited to see him Sunday evening.
For those of you who are enjoying 21 pilots, they put on a great live show. I actually didnt like them when I first heard them after the lineup was released. For some reason the music annoyed me, and I can see where those of you who don't like them are coming from. I just happened to catch 2 of their shows at SXSW (both the same day), and really enjoyed them live. Great energy, and the lead singer is all over the place - playing the piano, singing, rapping, climbing on shit. I would guess that this will be the largest crowd they have played for so they will bring tons of energy.
I knew a good bit of the lineup before the drop, but The Stepkids have really blown me away this past week. Really looking forward to one of their sets.
02/08 Tool 02/11 Jeff Mangum 02/17 of Montreal 02/29 Blind Pilot 03/31 The Naked & The Famous 05/14 M83 and I Break Horses 05/19 Flaming Lips, Young the Giant, Dawes and AWOLNATION 06/07 Bonnaroo 2012!!! 06/13 Roger Waters 07/28 Toadies

THIS. I really hated them when I first listened to them. Thought they were so cheesy, but I've really grown to love them and am excited to see them now!
Of monsters and men, heard "little talks" prior to lineup, but now had the chance to listen to their whole album and see them on SNL- good stuff. Also liking Allen Stone and Bustle in your Hedgerow. Did yinz see who is all in Bustle? Pure talent
