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!!
I don't often get intel that I'm actually allowed to share, unfortunately. That's how I keep a job. Haha!
My absolute guess though is that the pavilion will have late night acts on Thur. Campers should be all checked in by then and will want to catch some music. Like last year, I don't think all the stages will be open Thursday. I was talking to the owner of Wilmington Amusements, who handles the arcade at FF and he said it's going to be completely awesome.
As always, appreciate it - with them serving beer it'd be really sweet if they added pong tables or something along those lines in there. Doesn't have to be pong, but just designated game tables.
I dont wanna come off as the old man who keeps yelling "Hey you young kids get off my damn lawn", but pong tables just feeds in to the negative connotation of FF being a BroFest.
Love the work man!! I dont see The Kooks playing that late but I could be wrong. I cant remember when Local Natives took the stage last year. I also wonder if Cage goes to the LAwn this year? I just cant see them going from the Backyard to the Lawn. i felt they are destined to be mainstage this year! I would say switch Cage and Walk the Moon. I could be totally wrong
Yea good point on Cage. I left Walk the Moon for that spot since I had planned to use them as the Grouplove "Main Stage to Coffee House" band for that day. Last year Local Natives played the same timeslot so that should be fine, unless they change it.
Like I said love the work your doing man! I couldnt get in to Local Natives last year so wasnt aware of the time, I just knew it was close to bed time. Amos Lee rocked it out earlier on the Lawn that night. I just think Cage has to go to main stage. Hey great would it be to have Cage lead in to Macca?? Huh? Huh?

My god, this scheduling is awful. Friday is soooooo overloaded. It's like whoever was responsible wasn't even trying. I'm really looking forward to missing a ton of bands on Friday and boring empty slots on Saturday and Sunday.

It does fall right in to the reasoning behind no day passes. Friday would be a mad dash for day passes and no true demand for Sat and Sun. Thus only selling 4 day passes ensures true profit

I honestly don't know what they were thinking with the clusterfuck that is Friday and how fucking bad Saturday looks in comparison. Sunday is pretty great for me personally, but I'm sure a shit ton of the stuff I want to see Sunday will conflict with each other. Friday is going to be mayhem, no matter what happens - just running to and fro, missing lots of good acts, and having to make a lot of gametime decisions.
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.

Damn after seeing the day to day break down this festival is looking great. Wish I could go. If I were going Id try to spend my days like this:
Thursday - The Kooks, Charli XCX, Tycho Friday - Sir Paul, Morrissey, Modest Mouse, Cage the Elephant, Run the Jewels, Marian Hill Saturday - Kings of Leon, Kid Cudi, Spoon, Gary Clark Jr, Andrew McMahon, Vacationer, Milo Greene, Night Terrors of 1927 Sunday - The Killers, Snoop, Empire of the Sun, Cold War Kids, Raury

Ya, but that might be what they're going for. With so many festivals now, any way to reach and establish a core audience is a good thing from the festival's perspective. Perhaps they're just embracing their target demographic.

Its almost like they decided to start off with a tease on Thur, then a fantastic fucking Friday, a laid back Sat, and then a fun end on Sun. Roo I know at least gets you pumped Fri, keeps it going Sat and eases you out Sunday

I think the main stage schedule will play out something like this:
Friday: Cage the Elephant -> Morrissey -> Paul McCartney Saturday: Spoon -> Foster the People -> Kings of Leon Sunday: Bastille -> Snoop Dog -> The Killers
Probable Lawn Stage pre-headliners are Modest Mouse, Kid Cud, and Empire of the Sun.

If thats the setup my only concern is where and when is Walk the Moon?

I'm guessing they'll play on the Lawn/Backyard Stage before the Lawn/Backyard Stage pre-headliner.
I've only done Thur and Fri. Even those are incomplete since there are acts that haven's been put in since the coffee house and porch aren't in yet.
I really hope that Friday sched is somewhat close. My only real conflicts would be DJ Mustard (because I feel like this show will be hilariously fun) and Awolnation and between Kygo and Modest Mouse. The rest of it I could come to terms with choosing somebody to see/not see although there's still so much quality on that day compared to others I feel like

The backyard and Firefly stage are STACKED on Friday

This would provide some pretty tough conflicts but maybe that's just me. I'd have trouble deciding with:
Ryn Weaver vs. Jungle - would definitely opt for Jungle though Tycho vs. Kooks - depends on my mood at that point of the day, game time decision
Glass Animals vs. Sylvan Esso - BRUTAL, ARE YOU KIDDING? I really don't see this happening, though...putting both of them up against each other, during early afternoon? Nah, unlikely. Kygo vs. Modest Mouse - that sunset spot for Kygo would be amazing and not something I'd be pleased about missing, but I'd almost certainly go for MM

Firefly will be on my radar again next year, but they can't afford to have any conflicts Saturday or Sunday with how thin those days are. Hope everyone has a good time.

My Thursday and Friday based of this schedule would probably look like:
Thursday: Client Liason -> Grizfolk -> Sweater Beats -> Twin Peaks -> Jungle -> The Kooks
Friday: Colony House -> Linus Young -> Bear Hands -> Glass Animals -> Manchester Orchestra -> Awolnation -> Run The Jewels -> Modest Mouse -> Sir Paul -> Zedd -> Odesza
Love the work man!! I dont see The Kooks playing that late but I could be wrong. I cant remember when Local Natives took the stage last year. I also wonder if Cage goes to the LAwn this year?

You switched Cage and Walk the Moon I see. Still a conflict for me somewhat. Go see first half of Walk the Moon or stay put at Main stage for better Macca spot? If cage plays the Main then I get a good spot for them, then work my way up during Morrissey so that I am about 30-50 yards away for Macca

I really want to put Walk the Moon earlier so I can have them play at the coffee house at the American Authors/Grouplove spot. I just can't figure out how to make it work (without putting them back to the Cage spot at main stage I had them at).

Maybe switch them with Awolnation? And then switch Awolnation with Modest Mouse.

So has Thursday ended by midnight in past years? Is that likely to be the case again? Because I'd love to see Tycho get to play past midnight
Last year was the first year they had acts on a Thursday so it is hard to know if it will start/end any later this year or not. I hope the hours start/end a little later this year though.

With Premier Wed parking and camping opening up on Thur, along with 90,000 attendees I hope they start earlier. I think opening the grounds on Thursday at 3pm would be a good thing with music starting at 5pm. I totally want the festival to run till 1am at least.

If the woodlands opened up at 2 or 3 on Thursday that would be perfect, I wouldn't even mind if the music didn't start until 4 or 5 it would just be nice to get in there and roam around.
Also, I hope the dogfish tent is open on Thursday this year.
They also need to open up the woodlands earlier and I am saying that for safety reasons. When you open the one main gate at 5pm and music starts at 6pm, when do you think the biggest crowd will form? Oh maybe 5pm? If they open the gates at 2pm then have music start at 4pm. If you open the gates at 4pm have music start at 6pm.
