i saw Kanye at ACL 2011 and i am fan but he was just ok at best to me. I would love to Elton and I am also a casual Jack White fan thats open to seeing him but hes not gonna draw me somewhere most times.
^ That's the kicker with getting Jack. That'll be the highlight of the fest. Seen him at Hangout and Lolla so kinda been there and done that with his show, but that SJ will be sick.

As someone that has seen Elton and Lionel, it's not even close as to who is the better act. Lionel by a landslide. Lionel is engaging, tells funny azz stories and his sing- a- longs are just as good as Elton's. Be happy that you get to see a Motown, soul legend. Btw his show was better than wonder's show at hangout- three times over.
That being said- a good top four, not great. Coachella got Arcade fire, lollapalooza looks to have pearl jam. Both got outkast. Roo looks to be behind this year.

I completely agree. People can look at that lineup as uniteresting but I like it a lot more than pretty much every lineup that's been released to this point. I honestly think Lolla is gonna slaughter everything this year (for my tastes at least).

Hangout 2012 with the fireworks during Seven nation army is in my top 5 coolest concert moments. Lolla was dope too, stoked for the BLAM!

Jack White was the best headlining set in Hangout's history IMO. His set at Voodoo later that year was very good too. The Roo show this year will be completely different because it's 2 years later, 2 more albums of material to pull from, and potentially a completely different band & production.
i think Hangout has the best lineup too and not just saying that bcuz im going. I found so many new acts around the lower tier that i have come to love and i am looking forward to seeing, right now i got the RDGLDGRN album on repeat i cant wait to see them.

I just had the realization that I have almost zero musical taste in common with 94% of everyone who posts on this thread, and reading it has actually made me dread going to the fest. So I suppose unless I hear some massive news that might be interesting, I'm probably going to stop coming here.
I mean, MTV has owned palladia. So it's not like we haven't been dealing with them already. I don't think it's anything like 07-09 roo. Kanye isn't headlining (kinda headlining? Kinda late?), it's not like MTV is booking the acts. Does MTV even have a channel like they used to. I'm 100% positive they will have no effect on my fest either way. I expect they're just trying to get their logo in the fest as much as possible... I want my sky bar tho!!!!!
Umm no thanks Roo. Coachella destroyed them IMO. Out of the Big 3, They're gonna be coming up short this year. Lolla should pass that lineup pretty easily I'd guess. And I like Elton, Kanye, and JW too. Not enough unique stuff at the top there to convince me to camp for 4 days on a farm. Gimme my beach condo and our lineup combined with what Lolla will offer later this year.

Bonnaroo lineup is amazing holy poop. If they got Calvin Harris too or another jamband it would be one of the best lineup, but still awesome I mean john butler trio is way down on the list with yonder and got umps. KILLED IT BONNAROO

Something tells me you'll be back. Hopefully they'll announce a big jam band so you'll stop being so cranky. Poor weedle guy.
As for Roo, I've never seen Lionel or Elton live, but I've heard rave reviews of Lionel's live show and just mediocre reviews of Elton's live shows. So it may not be as crazy of a headliner as everyone thinks. Just don't know how many people Lionel will actually draw to a fest like Roo. I'll take Hangout's headliners fa sho.
not impressed with Bonaroo at all. that lineup is hardly better than firefly
I would love to hear your explanation on this please elaborate. Bonnaroo doesn't even compare to Firefly. I see broken bell, zedd, and chromeo. Firefly broken bell is 10th on the bill
Ya for me though, part of it is not the lineup by itself. As one of the 3 biggest, well-known fests in the country, there's a diff expectation I'd have for them. The lineup is deep and very solid by itself. But some of the acts on there I either saw at Hangout previously or Lolla previously and those I haven't aren't mind blowing. Again for the conditions of the fest compared to Hangout, it would be a no brainer for me. But obviously if I was already going I wouldn't be like oh this sucks.
Neutral Milk Hotel, John Butler Trio, and Nick Cave will all be great sets at Roo. Add the potential for a Superjam and that lineup is looking quite nice. Don't care at all about Lauryn Hill. With that said, CAN WE GET SOME MORE HANGOUT ANNOUNCEMENTS BEFORE WE ALL GO CRAZY?!?!

personal preference. Not interested in Kanye these days, VW is incredibly overrated to me and very little interest in Lionel. the line up is good but far from impreissive

I gotcha. Totally agree about kanye and Lionel, but overall has good artist everywhere on the lineup. WSP would have been 10 times better than Lionel in that spot, would have made bonnaroo top fest this year prob.

I'm planning to go to both Hangout and Bonnaroo. My take on the Bonnaroo lineup is that it isn't as top heavy as usual, but that it's more solid top-to-bottom. I mean your second and third tier acts are: Vampire Weekend Phoenix The Avett Brothers The Flaming Lips Arctic Monkeys Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Damon Albarn Lauryn Hill Neutral Milk Hotel
