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!!
So if they are picking two winners from FB and two from Twitter, Im guessing the next social media picks will be on Insta? But then what about the other 4...Myspace and Linkedin?
Inforoo. 116 pages for an "other festivals" thread takes dedication. And a lot of bullshit posts.
The firefly Facebook page makes you laugh and want to hang yourself all at the same time. Some of the comments are just hilarious. There are a few posts that legit think Firefly has a Super Bowl commercial planned.
Haha. Thank you SO MUCH for bringing this up. I saw that earlier--several posts about it. I can't even handle that kind of stupidity.
The amount of morons on the Facebook Festival page who say "Honestly, not a big deal if McCartney drops out" is so ridiculous and laughable.
This was my favorite: "Lineup hold ups? While your at it, can we cancel Paul McCartney and get someone relevant to this millennia?"
After that I had to stop reading.
Was that a legit comment someone left??....ugh...wtf is wrong with kids today. He's a fucking Beatle for crying out loud. The dude literally is worth a billion dollars. He could fart into a microphone at FF and it would still be worth the 4 mil his contract likely is for performing.
I definitely don't think he dropped. He is still being followed on their twitter page.
Maybe we're looking at this all wrong. Perhaps they got another huge act that at first wasn't going to sign but last minute they gave some demands that FF was willing to meet. That would explain last minute approvals. Moving people down on the line up and so on. Maybe KOL or the killers were originally undercards because someone like Prince or some other legend said no but then changed their mind after more negotiations. So now they have to go back to those bands and be all " you're bumped".
I just don't for foresee this being because a big act drop out mainly because those are the biggest contracts that are very binding and done way in advance.
I think this is all just a long, drawn out, months-in-advance-engineered plot by Inforoo to gain some new users.
First they paid off Red Frog to make their "newly designed" forums utter trash. Next, they placed Carlzner as a mole to post links to here from there for the people who weren't aware of this forum.

From my experience with the Bonnaroo headliner thread this year, I'm going to advise you to not go down this road. Planting this idea in your head is only going to leave you with disappointment. It's best to temper expectations and be pleasantly surprised rather than expect the moon and be underwhelmed.

I still think if it's lineup related it was probably Morrissey that fucked everything up. He probably dropped, they had someone in place to take his spot then all hell broke loose when the backup dropped too. And yes I realize we don't know if Morrissey wss ever actually booked.

While I have my tinfoil hat on, what if Macca was never even in the conversation and he was just an elaborate joke that Launchpad/Infinitypass made up to see just how much traction that theory would get?

Nope. It was really Sir Paul with Bruce as the back up negotiation.
Launchpad is lying about his Bill Clinton picture. That's not real.

Not trying to pick a fight, but does anyone seriously believe Firefly of all festivals could land an act like Morrissey? As far as I'm aware, the only U.S. festival he has ever played is Coachella.

I really won't be mad either way. I'm still going regardless. I recognize that it's most likely for negative reasons why it's delayed but hey, nothing wrong with being positive.. Well unless it's being HIV positive..then that sucks, but most of the time positive is good.

not really, but then again I wasn't really thinking we'd get Paul either.

Ahhaah yea I think you're onto something there with KOL or killers on the undercard lol. Too funny.

True, that was a huge surprise. I don't care much for Morrissey or The Smiths, but landing both McCartney and Morrissey in the same year would be extremely impressive (and very unlikely).

Very unlikely regardless if it was on the official line up or not.
I have no idea if they could have gotten Morrissey or not, but given his recent tour history I'd find it pretty hard to believe they didn't have a backup plan.

Ditto on that. Always best to temper expectations. The more it was discussed, the more people felt sure that Billy/Deadmau5/Mumford/Kendrick couldn't possibly be the TOP four - maybe all within the top six or seven, but not all four on the top of the bill like that without one or two killer additions in between. And alas, here we are. That said, I've actually gotten pretty stoked about the Roo lineup, that undercard is fantastic, but expectations were set too high on the HLers for sure.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Well everyone said they were the worst headliner in coachella history, so...
I think Phoenix earned that title.
While Coachella may have jumped the gun in billing Phoenix as a headliner, I think Phoenix has shown that they are more than capable of holding down a headlining spot. I would certainly prefer them over Kings of Leon.
