What the hell is up with Bonnaroo not getting very many big names this year? Their booking seems kinda shitty. I mean ESPECIALLY after the fucking shit Coachella just pulled off. Strokes and the Pixies? Beiber was there, Prince was there, Nas brought out Jay-Z.....
Did Bonnaroo have a bad year with Artists? I mean even superjam "?" is just that -- a big question mark. They have no idea who's even playing yet. WTF, AC/Superfly

This lineup is fantastic. I have so much I can't wait to see.
Who would you prefer? out of people currently touring and doing summer shows?
I don't have a preference but they're lacking big names compared to past lineups.
True but they've only usually had one or two big names a year. I would like to see someone on the level of Fallon or Steven Wright but it's possible someone gets added later. Hannibal Buress is one of the hottest rising comedians right now and his set will be fantastic.
I don't get the complaints about "big names". Who cares? Top talent is the way to go and these guys are all pretty great. Roo has featured a lot of comedians who weren't "big names" when they were on the lineup and gone on to be huge. Hannibal Burress and Rory Scovel could be the future Louis CK's and Aziz Ansari's...who blow up over time.
They've had big names before like Fallon, Conan, Saget, etc. but I've never really gone to see them. Now people won't have to complain about the comedy lines I guess lol

It was Julian Casablancas not the Strokes. Did you seriously just use Bieber attending Coachella as a dig at Bonnaroo?

This is what it comes down to for me. I have seen 2/3 of a comedy show in my five years at Bonnaroo. Seeing Comedy shows is a good theory, but it never works out for me.

Elton John, Kanye and Lionel Richie are almost nowhere this summer. Jack White isn't far behind.
Coachella didn't have the strokes. They had Julian Casablancas, big difference. Pixies aren't the same without Kim Deal. Prince didn't perform (so why bring him up?). Do you really want Justin Bieber? He only showed up for two minutes anyway.
You say big names but don't talk about Coachella's headliners. Outkast are awesome but their show has divided people to say the least. I've heard almost nothing about Muse. Arcade Fire was awesome but are playing the entire country this summer.
So, your perspective might be skewed a bit here. I guess that's what I'm saying.
Yes, Bonnaroo is going without a big comedy name this year. But I couldn't get in for Daniel Tosh last year, or Conan in 2010. The line was even too long for the freaking Cheech Marin show in 2011. So while the comedy tent is cool, it shouldn't make or break the Bonnaroo line-up. If it does, you might be ignoring the dozens upon dozens of musical artists worth seeing that are already confirmed.

For me it's like the Thursday of Roo. I get to see upcoming comedians and get a rest in the early afternoon. I usually hit up 1 or 2 shows a year.

This lineup is fantastic. I have so much I can't wait to see.
Lets see, 2013 had:
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis....were NINETEEN. 19 on the lineup, after spending 10 weeks at the #1 spot with two different songs in 2013. the Ed helms superjam is in their spot this year.
You also had Nas, a hip hop legend who revolutionized the game, Illmatic is one of the best selling and influential hip hop albums of all time. Damon Albarn is in that spot this year. Now if he plays "Gorillaz" and "blur" stuff, then that's still not a fair trade compared to the legend that is Nas but it's better than Albarn's solo stuff. Also there was Wu tang! The best, most powerful and influential hip hop collective ever. Skrillex is there now. Which is odd, but I get it. Wu tang are legends and skrillex are not, but I'd argue they're just as known in 2014. But the comedy isnt good. No well known names other than Hannibal. What happened to getting big guys like Conan, or Tosh, or CK? Bonnaroo didn't book many known artists this year, and I don't think they will have as many awesome guest appearances. I mean they couldn't book a superjam. It's still a question mark. If we get something half fucking assed and last minute because bonnaroo couldnt get it together, I'm going to be really upset.
Last year had 3 stand up sets in the top 50 of the lineup....this year the comedy headliner comes in at 43. lol
This years highest billed rapper is...Wiz Khalifa. Seriously?

Bonnaroo actually got Louis CK in 2008 when he wasn't near as big yet. He was probably on his way up...about like Hannibal Buress is now.

Uhh,, what? CK was nominated for an Emmy in 08, and his special "chewed up" was on Showtime. He also had already won an emmy for his writing in 1999.
