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!!
If they had the lineup ready to drop, why the f wouldn't they do it right this instant? I do appreciate the #positivityradiation going on but I think you might be grasping at straws there. They've postponed it for like over a week now, right? I think they'll reveal as soon as they can. Just my two cents.
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.
I kind of get the people for whom Paul McCartney isn't a big attraction. If he was playing near me, or if he was already headlining a festival I was attending, I'd certainly attend and probably have fun. However, I've never been a huge Beatles fan, and while I appreciate what he does and what he's created, it's just not my thing. Paul McCartney alone certainly wouldn't get me to a festival I was on the fence about.
Is there a better headliner option out there this year for you?

Not really.
But I don't have some weird, compulsive need to go to a festival. Like, I'm not going to scan lineups, say "hmmm, these all suck, but this one has McCartney, so I might as well give them my money because I need to do this."
Edit: But by way of comparison, back in 2013 I was far, far more excited over the prospect of seeing Blur at Coachella than I was at seeing McCartney at Bonnaroo.

yeah I wasn't saying my question made your original comment any different. Only curious. If I had a huge desire to attend a festival as a getaway, he would alter my decision, for sure. I'm not sure any one artist converts me from "no fest" to "Ill go to a fest" now that you mention it. Outkast did, but only because it was a one time opportunity. Most people should have seen Macca by now if they wanted to.
Edit to your edit: I think most people have a few bands that connect more with them personally than the mass appealing Beatles. I bet I like a larger amount of Beatles songs than any other band. I don't think they'd come close in a category of songs that I absolutely love and listen to all of the time. I'm pleased when a Beatles song comes on the radio, but I dont seek out their songs on my own unless I go through a certain phase once a year or so. IDK why I felt the need to type so much.
If people hadn't assured me that Paul does a lot of Beatles stuff, I wouldn't be particularly thrilled with him either. But EVERYBODY knows some Beatles songs so I can't wait to see how loud the sing-alongs are for him.
I assure you that you know more Macca songs than you even realize. The sing-alongs will be non stop and louder than anything you have ever heard.
This just gave me chills. I've seen MACCA 3 times now and nothing was better than him at bonnaroo. It just reaffirms why festivals are some of the best settings to see someone in.
Also, how in the heeeelllllll can you not be excited for Paul Muthafuckin McCartney. He is one of, if not the only, artist I would empty my savings account to see (which I did last year. Floor seats in Louisville. It was ah-mazing.) And when people say his set list is "a lot" of Beatles, they mean almost entirely. He plays I think 3 songs from "New," a few Wings songs, and a couple of solo stuff. Let It Be into Live or Let Die into Hey Jude is one of the best live transitions I've ever seen. I break down into tears at multiple times during his show.

You have no right to discuss anything Beatles related. GTFO.

I discuss whatever I want. You should try developing a cogent argument against my stance or learn to accept the viewpoints of others because attempting to outright ban me from doing something just makes me want to do it more.
Honestly from a standpoint of publicity and social media why wouldn't FF wait to announce the lineup at 5? This day in age it's all about the show you put on. Sasquatch had it's launch party last night and Roo has it's BLAM. Gotta make a spectacle of it

Fucking elitist attitude, with your high post count and shit. Think you can do whatever the hell you want. Spewing your wrong opinions all over the place. Ugh.

Kinda got the creeps from that verbiage directed towards a woman... But yeah, can't really argue against someone's personal preference.

I wish I would've discovered comic sans for this thread awhile ago. Nothing says "gigantic asshole" or "elitist jam band nerd" like arguments in comic sans.

Understandable. I just think it's absurd when some folks (not talking about you or Dave) say that Paul would be a waste of a headliner or downplay the fact that he's an enormous booking for any festival. I'm not a huge fan of Daft Punk or Prince, but they're arguably two of the most influential artists in their respective genres, and I can appreciate how either would be an impressive "get" as a headliner.

To be fair they did have that city council meeting this morning. If that truly had something to do with the holdup and they got the approval I wouldn't be surprised to see it tonight or at least a formal announcement about it being released tomorrow.
That said if that's not the case I can see them holding off until after Mccartneys performance with Kanye at the Grammys this weekend if they get the ''approval' in the interim.

Oh yeah. There is certainly a difference between them not being an attraction for you and not seeing them as a huge draw/get. McCartney is a huge get for a festival like Firefly. He just wouldn't do anything for me if I was thinking about going. A similar thing would happen for me if Roo had pulled that show from The Dead. I personally wouldn't be too jazzy about it, but I can respect that I can think of ten people off the top of my head on here that would have lost consciousness if they were on the lineup.

It is heartening to see a lot of McCartney fans in here. Most of my friends prefer Lennon (or the hipster ones prefer Harrison) when I say I prefer Paul's stuff. Not to denigrate any of them, I've really been into John's solo stuff recently, especially Plastic Ono Band. Paul's live show is the second best I've seen, behind Prince obviously.

I'm with you on this.
I understand that McCartney is a good get, and definitely headliner material, but I just couldn't really care less about him or his music. Still a great headliner.
Then again, I feel the same way about The Beatles in general. Do I understand the cultural significance and the impact on music as a whole that they had? Absolutely, and I respect the hell out of them. Do I like their music? Not really. I just don't think its that good. And I've heard a wide range of their stuff. I like Rocky Raccoon and Helter Skelter, maybe one or two other songs, but that's about it.
