Anyone here ever done it? Has it ever been done? Could it be?
If someone was in extremely good running shape, and just light jogged from show to show (schedule always tends to go in a descending order), it would be possible, and actually, quite an accomplishment.
I'm surprised I haven't heard of someone ever trying this? You could call it so many different things too.
The 2014 Bonnaroo Stage Sprint. Roo Race, Bonnathon....and that's all I really got, but you get the point.

Pssst.... It's 2013. I don't mind. And we all know what you mean. I'm just correcting you nice as possible. Unless you meant to start planning this for next year, of course.

Your going to be at the very back of every single show all weekend. You will be able to say " I saw every act at Bonnaroo!" But you won't be able to say you really experienced a single set.

It's too close to get anything going this year, so yes, I was talking about next year. (and I'm totally joking about getting something going anyway, but thanks for looking out for me)
And no, this isn't something I plan on doing myself, and yes I know it would be a totally bogus way to spend the weekend, kind of a waste of time and money.
But for the running enthusiast who enjoys music, I think doing something like this could probably be comparable to finishing a half marathon or something, especially with the amount of people around and the heat. You wouldn't see long bouts of music, but you would be able to say you saw EVERY band besides the smaller stages.

That is a fun Idea. Not for the normal Bonnaroo attendee, but for someone wanting to do something goofy and get a lot of attention. I'm sure you can get in the Guinness Book of World Records for most concerts attended in a day or in a weekend. Like I said...not something for the normal person that is coming for the Bonnaroo experience...

I was thinking to myself, "Why in the world would you want to do something like this?" Getting into the Guinness Book of World Records by attending roo actually sounds kinda tempting! I wonder what the record is? Any one got the current issue?

Through google search I found a Guinness world record of Most Concerts Attended in 7 Days. The record is 15. He did the 15 spread across 10 venues. So I guess that means they don't all have to be at separate places. It wouldn't be hard to beat 15 @ Bonnaroo.

Whoa! I'm totally gonna break that record! 15 concerts in 7 days, that's nothing! Esp at Bonnaroo. I am completely serious about breaking this record.
@luvdatroo I think the criteria would be you have to stay for the performance of 1 whole song start to finish at each show. So for the bonnaroo sprint the record wouldn't be for most concerts attended in a day but most performances seen.

Hope you don't get stuck with an epic jam to eff up your program. How much would it suck to arrive at swans only to have them play a fifteen minute song that kills your shot at making the rest of the next tent show. And what if they jam straight through their songs? Devils advocate again sorry.

If the record states that he attended 15 concerts through 10 venues. Then multiple sets at one place counted towards that guys record so why wouldn't a Festival? Surely they want to make it as difficult as possible, so they may throw that out the window. But no one can say that a set at Bonnaroo doesn't count as a concert...the Definition of a concert is A Musical Performance given in public. So Bonnaroo sets fit the "Concert" definition.

This would certainly be challenging, and it sounds like a fun idea- for someone other than me. Revolve, if you do this be sure to use the check-in obelisks with your RFID, and carry a camera with you for the cafe acts that don't have the check-ins. It'll definitely be a "pics or it didn't happen" kinda thing afterwards.
YES! It can be done...and that's how & by whom: photojournalists. They are the ones who take pics during the first few songs, then head over to the next act. That said, they're working and thus not able to stop and enjoy the shows. And it's no fun! Why would a regular (non-media) festival goer want to miss out on the magic just to accomplish a goal? That would be like going to a buffet of epic nomtastic goodies and only taking half a bite of each item. Sure, you'd get a lot of flavors but you wouldn't enjoy the meal.
I heard if you do this Thursday-Saturday you get a free set by the band of your choice on Sunday in the medical tent while you're being treated for dehydration. Sounds tempting.
