Well looks like no schedule today and unclear if it will be this week. They are still responding to posts about the schedule saying that they are in the right place and to look out for the 'social media blast' so its another they have no idea situation. They started that blog in January and it's been useless since then. You'd think they'd try and continue with some social media interaction to keep the excitement there while waiting on the schedule. Bonnaroo has been posting blogs at least 1-2x a week talking about attractions and festival tips.
I'm still crossing my fingers and hoping to either get the Made in America lineup or the Firefly schedule sometime this week.
Good point about the blog--it has been virtually useless and they haven't used it or anything to generate excitement for the schedule...perhaps because they still don't know when it's coming out.
Scheduling 100+ touring bands into four days is a massive undertaking. Any time I see a schedule that doesn't have many conflicts as far as my personal needs, I'm still convinced it's totally just dumb luck.
Disagree. Of course personal taste is subjective and plays a part in what each individual deems a "good" versus "bad" schedule but the overcrowding on Friday is simply absurd. There seems to be a pretty big variation in genre and band preference among the people posting here, and I haven't seen one person say "Oh hey, Friday is really nicely spread out and fits well against the other days."
Just cause I'm a numbers guy I went ahead and compared Friday and Saturday. I left out Thursday and Sunday since they aren't full days so it isn't an apples to apples comparison.

I may have missed a couple at the bottom and didn't go all the way down but anyway. This was actually a lot closer than I thought, in terms of the lineup billing. That said, the problem for most of us is probably that we don't really care about KoL (2) or Steve Aoki (13). Sublime with Rome (14) is really a novelty act, and everything lower than that doesn't match up well to their Friday counterparts, regardless of the individual actual billing order. It's a matter of opinion of course but I think it's an opinion many of us share on here.

I honestly dont mind that Saturday is a little weaker because now I can get close for the acts I really care about like Spoon

I know realistically I cant see more than like 6-7 bands per day but with that comparision, I'm looking at 11 bands on Friday and 12 on Saturday. Friday may be top heavy but Saturday has depth to it

I just realized I missed the Chainsmokers (22) for Saturday.
I will agree Saturday has a pretty good early day lineup. I'm not missing Joe Pug, or probably not Night Terrors of 1927 either. Alison Wonderland, The Wind and the Wave, and a few others I intend to check out too.
That said it's about 14-9 of what I'd like to see each day in favor of Friday for me, but of course like you said you are probably not seeing more than 6-7 each day anyway.

personally i think its a good thing to have a slow day mixed in so you can explore the other stuff on site, take food/beer breaks at camp, shit like that. i had like a 2 hour gap of no one i really wanted to see at hangout so we ventured to the Bud Light house of whatever and ended up having a blast. its nice to not have to worry about running from one set to the other all weekend long plus those gaps give you a chane to get closer to other acts if u want
It isn't that there isn't good shit on Saturday that I want to see. I'm excited for hopefully seeing: Spoon, Cudi, Matt&Kim, Andrew MacMahon, Zella Day, Joe Pug, Halsey, and Night Terrors. However, I wouldn't be devastated if any of those conflicted and I had to choose between them. Spoon is probably my number 1 of that day, and I'll choose that over whatever conflicts, but the others won't kill me to miss if I have to. Whereas on Friday, I really really fucking want to see Odesza/RTJ/Kygo/Sylvan/MM. Obviously some of these will conflict. And it is gonna hurt.
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'm glad there is nothing much for my taste on Sunday, doesn't make leaving a day early that difficult of choice.....one less night of camping, and can get back to the regular swing quicker.
I've accepted the fact that Morrissey is going to play before Paul on the main stage and Modest Mouse is going to play directly before Paul on a side stage. Just let Cage the Elephant play before Morrissey on the main stage, and give RTJ a late night spot and I'll be satisfied. Be awesome if they did Glass Animals --> RTJ for late night on Friday....but I'm not greedy.

anyone ever seen vacationer, dirty heads, chiddy bang, gary clark jr, cheerleader, or benjamin booker before? theyre some of my must-sees who i have a bad feeling could play up against some of the bigger acts i would completely kick myself i missed for a smaller act like them.

I've seen Vacationer, Gary Clark, and Cheerleader. My favorite of the 3 was Cheerleader. However, depending on where you live Cheerleader and Vacationer play, Philly, DC, NYC, much more frequently then Gary Clark.

"Hi Billy, we don't have any set date in mind to announce the schedule-- otherwise we'd definitely tell you guys when to expect it. We know you guys are excited, though appreciate you hanging in there."
-Remember when they said late April/early May. LOL. This delay was too easy to predict...
At least I got my wristband, but yeah 21 days to go--who knows when we'll get the schedule, not even FF, but I can't wait and really want to plan out my days

Oh, Red Frog. That's probably the worst thing they could have said in this situation, especially after the previous "late April or May" statements. Not exactly reassuring.
They only have 3 more weeks -- couldn't they just narrow it down a little? Like say "within the next two weeks" or at least, "before the festival starts"?

I am not surprised. But this is pretty shitty situation they are putting us in

I know shit happens, but with the lineup debacle it would have been nice for the schedule release to be smooth and easy. Of course they really aren't "late" at this point, I think it was released May 27th last year.

Yeah it was released in the 27th-29th range, which yes matches up with now. But, they for some reason expected it earlier this year and once again failed at a timeline. They should probably stop responding all together to people.
And yes, they can't even say before the festival? Starting to concern me.

i saw Chiddy back at ACL 2011 and it was one of my fav sets of the weekend (betteer than Kanye's), i missed Dirty Heads at hangout but they ahve vids of it on hangout.mtv.com and they looked pretty sick, enoguh for me to buy a ticket to see them this summer

Dirty Heads and Gary Glark Jr., yes (multiple times).
Dirty Heads really put on an energetic show, their last album was strayed a little from the norm and I haven't seen them since they released that - but solely judging off past material and shows I'd recommend seeing them even if you don't know many of their songs.
Gary Clark Jr. gets to go in a category of his own. Personally, I loved him both times - however the crowd is kind of just blankly staring back at him and motionless. So if your body is saying move and jump around it's probably not the set to see. If you want to kick back and really enjoy a guitar than yes, go check him out.

Dirty Heads are always a good time. I just saw they are playing at Seacrets in Ocean City in July. I don't know how that happened but I'll be there for that.
