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!!
That Roo schedule though...as much as I like to sort through conflicts I'd go crazy over that LN Friday, sheesh. If anything, be careful what you wish for with RTJ late night, it's all fun and games until they get put on at the same time as Zedd.
I wouldn't mind to see Zedd, that being said....I would be perfectly okay missing that set if it meant RTJ late night.
As far as the Roo schedule, some conflicts...yes. At first glance, there is only two major placements that would affect me...Mac Demarco vs Jungle and Sturgill vs Spoon.
still 2 months to go and Philly is barely an hour away and if he does 2 shows that def could hurt getting to 90k. I planned on finding a way to FF to see him but i live in Philly so now i dont have to worry about it.

had a couple of hours on me and tooled around with photoshop. made a 2016 lineup thats mostly ideals, while trying to pick some people who haven't been before and fit the firefly demographic. tell me what you guys think.

I meannnn, if that's Firefly 2016 everyone would fucking flock to it but that lineup is unbelievably unrealistic, sorry dude. Just reference how low down you put Phoenix, Alt J, the xx,... The list goes on.
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.

ya i mean i wasn't trying to get it perfect, but you never know who will get bigger or smaller a year from now. and i know the lineup is unrealistic, if 2016 had half of those artists i would be flipping out. but thats why i called it my ideals.
The green font over the green bug/guitar is not great for the eyes.
ya i realized that by the end, but at that point i had put hours of work into the yellow to green transition and i wasn't about to start over, what do you think about the lineup though? i understand its out of order and very farfetched, but who do you think would actually have a chance at firefly 2016.

Skrillex, Bassnectar, knife party, dj snake, flux pavilion, m83, sts9, and girl talk would be an unbelievable haul for EDM. I'd be cool with those headliners though. Really I just hope we don't get Drake'd. Hopefully we dodged that bullet after the disaster at Coachella. Is it wrong that I hope he sucks at Governors Ball so it could maybe be the nail in the coffin for him headlining FF2k16?

did drake suck at coachella? i didn't hear anything about his performace. i know i don't like him and he's the reason I'm not going to gov ball, but yes i am hoping he sucks now that you bring it up. only rap headliners i would be cool with are jay z, kanye (i know people will come at me for that) or kendrick.

Haha, if you think people were pissed about about this year's lineup debacle, just wait until the day Kanye headlines. The Firefly faithful will go apeshit.
Regarding your lineup wishlist, I have some feedback:
1) Like others have said, it's a bit ambitious, and there are a few bands in particular who are billed way too low. For example, The xx would be no lower than the third line and most likely on the second line. 2) A lot of those acts will have already toured heavily in 2014 and 2015. I just can't see acts like Chromeo, Spoon, or The War on Drugs playing festivals in 2016. 3) In terms of realistic headliners, I would put Mumford & Sons at the top of the list. They've never played Firefly and would likely be a huge draw given the demographic.

ya i think mumford is very realistic, i would just rather see those 3 bands headline. and ya i really should of had the xx and phoenix higher. what do you think of the strokes though?

The Strokes are definitely possible now that they're active again and likely recording a new album in the near future. I think they would be a great fit right where you have them (billed 4th as a sub-headliner).

He was just entirely underwhelming.
The order of his set was not conducive to momentum at all; he'd slow things down and then speed them up. Played portions of songs.
He came on significantly late both weekends, taking time out of a Sunday set that already had to end early.
A lot of people were expecting exciting/relevant guest appearances, and that just didn't really happen in a meaningful way.
I'm glad I've seen him at this point and I'd give him another chance sometime but definitely wouldn't go out of my way to see him again.
Who? EDIT: Found them on the lineup. Went on the FF Fan page to see if they had anything more. While I didn't find anything, those clowns think Porter Robinson, Tame Impala, etc. are logical candidates to fill Fences spot. So they haven't gotten any smarter.

Mac Demarco would be a great replacement, though I fully expect somebody nobody has ever heard of, we can all hope it will be somebody worth while. I'd also be down for Temples, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, or Jacco Gardner, etc. something to tickle the psych crowd.
The fact they are actually making an announcement about the replacement though does make me just a little more optimistic. In the past they've just removed lower names and replaced them quietly. Preatures was listed 2 spots after Fences and no replacement was formally announced for them.

Are The War On Drugs booked yet that weekend? They're Philly based, and are such a logical fit, and its not like doing a show in Dover is a stretch for a Philly artist.
