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 gotta say, this is the first year I've spent any decent amount of time on here and you guys have been a really great bunch, so thanks for the hospitality. Hope to make it down to the farm one of these years. It's tough getting away in the months leading up to Firefly, but I'll get there sometime. Hope to see everyone next week!
The one thing that has shocked me about this thread is how open everyone is about drug use, really not a good topic for an open public forum.
Also the fact that people apparently have a schedule for drugs makes me laugh
I also wouldn't recommend dabbling in extracurriculars for the first time at a festival. I still remember at Roo 10 walking around late night and seeing someone being stretchered away right past me and found out on inforoo that is was a veteran board member that passed away. Stay safe kids and hydrate if you absolutely must partake.
The Chainsmokers are basically calling their shot. They tweeted out that "Firefly isn't just another show for us.... it's gonna be a statement."
Hmm, I'm considering changing my Cudi plan for this.
I saw Cudi at SweetLife in 2012 and it was so meh. Everything sounded so muffled, but then again I think most hip-hop/rap at festivals sounds terrible. Here is a video of Cudi in 2012 at SweetLife...if you skip Chainsmokers for this...I just don't even know.
The Chainsmokers will not disappoint and the energy level will be one of the highest of the entire festival.

As expected, never got an email back from Red Frog. Hate that I missing Jungle --> The Kooks, but not the end of the world. Going to stay Sunday night since I'm coming up Friday morning instead of Thursday.
I hope it's not to confusing getting parked and catching the shuttle on Friday, doubt they will have a lot volunteers/workers directing people since everybody will already be in.

Dang, that sounds awful. I'm sorry to hear it. Hopefully nothing like that will happen at Firefly this year.

That is awful. I don't believe anyone has died at any Firefly before, or even had a scary close call. I could easily be wrong though. I don't think anyone had even gotten into trouble (i.e. arrested) before a couple kids got arrested last year.

I get that, but no one's throwing out their full names and contact info or anything - and everyone knows that drug use goes down at music festivals. Idk, I think it is fine to discuss briefly, but each to their own.
I'm not very comfortable with the idea of "low sodium diet" or "portobellas" at a huge festival, just for me personally, I think there is too much risk for it going badly and ruining multiple hours of the experience. I love being around people at a festival who are having a great time with those, just doubtful that I'll be partaking with them. As for M, I was thinking Sylvan>Odesza>Glass Animals would be pretty great but it would definitely depend on how hot it is that day since that's late afternoon into early evening - not ideal.
That dead 2-hour KoL slot really makes me not wanna do Saturday night honestly. Although I might just rolllllllll thru the hammock hangout and silent disco and shit until Matoma starts - could be pretty fun.
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.

Absolutely agree. I only plan to partake in anything that I have a fair amount of experience with - hence my post above about the things that I won't be doing. Huge festivals are not the time to test your limits. And hydrate hydrate hydrate!!! Plus, test things that you're buying from a rando, and consume slowly

My b. You're right.
I'm moreso trying to look out for everyone, I don't partake but I don't have a problem with people that do. You paid for your Firefly experience so you should enjoy it however you want, you just never know what you put out there that can come back to you somehow. Even if I was partaking I certainly wouldn't admit to anything past drinking on here.

I feel you on the comfortability of the first two. I've been around the block more than a few times but I still keep the dosage low so I'm not absolutely losing my mind at all. Worked out well for gov ball this past weekend on sunday, kind of used it as a test run for firefly haha. As far as the M goes I only take tiny dabs at a time, all about that moderation and hydration.
Hey, I was just wondering about the security when entering for camping. Do they search the cars or do they just direct you to your spot?
So far, I've never seen or heard of anyone getting their car searched at Firefly. It's always possible, but I doubt it.
Also, according to yesterday's press conference: "Entry into lots is projected to be 30 seconds a vehicle, several seconds faster than last year's average."
There were definitely cops inside the north half of the festival last year. I believe they had jurisdiction issues last year with one half of the grounds in one county and the main stage area in the other. They also drove around the premier RV area last year. That said I didn't see them approach anyone and seemed to be enjoying themselves too. Just use general common sense and you're safe.

Just to clarify the police situation: There are definitely cops in all areas of the festival. Nothing to worry about, though. The police have shown almost zero interest in making arrests. They're generally laid-back, friendly, and enjoy working the fest.
The Dover city police (gray uniforms) patrol General camping and the bottom two-thirds of the festival grounds. The state police (blue uniforms) patrol the main stage area and Premier tent camping. The top portion of the property is outside Dover's city limits.
Dover will be annexing the entire property soon, so Firefly 2016 should be completely in Dover PD's jurisdiction.
Outside of Paul, I think I'm most excited for Sturgill Simpson's set. From the first listen, I was all in.
"Where reptile aliens made of light cut you open and pull out all your pain"
I am as well. The fact he has less than 1K scheduled on the app and leads into Spoon makes me giddy.
There isn't that much going on during his set time though so it may get more crowded simply because of that. I usually am very happy chilling in the back or side for most sets, but I'd really love to get close for Sturgill's.
Wow. Just made impulse decision to upgrade to VIP on StubHub. Someone dropped the prices of 2 bands to $435 each and I had a 10% off coupon. So I got 2 VIP tickets for $780. Even if I don't sell my GAs now, which I will probably try to dump cheap once I have the VIPs in hand - that's ~ $1300 for both.

Good find, I upgraded too last week. I'll see in there sport.

Haha - I've been watching steadily and saw the one listing continually dropping this week. I told myself that if they got near $450 I'd buy them - seeing as StubHub has a June promo for 10% off any concert tickets (code is JUNE10) and then I refreshed and saw $435 and was like BUYBUYBUY!
It's my gf's first camping festival - she can sit in the massage chairs all day long for all I care.
It's a little rough because I have 3 friends coming Fri/Sat only in GA, but I'll still take advantage of the amenities all weekend (AC TOILETS!) and during any shows they don't want to go to.

haha hoping they continue to drop. Last year they just had a masseuse in one of those chairs you put your face through. the wait was pretty long so i didn't partake. VIP is well worth it though!!
