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!!
It's funny watching you guys get excited about bands on the fake lineup that aren't actually booked.
Seriously, that lineup is a fake. Not a "leak," it's a fake. Yeah, there's plenty on there that are accurate, but it's not hard to do that if you've paid attention to this year's festival lineups.
Bullshit.
You're so certain that you have the lineup and can just flaunt it to anyone... so do it. Put your money where your mouth is dipshit.
Bastille and Empire of the Sun were totally easy to predict based on this year's festival lineups. Great one.
Pretty much this. If you're just going to come on here to brag about how much you know, while sharing hardly anything at all, and then rip on people that are just trying to get excited for a music festival......why are you even on here?

In other news, assuming that the lineup is coming tomorrow, at what time do you think we can expect it? I'd rather not be furiously refreshing twitter/this board all day long (although I probably will anyways)

I think around 10 or 11 am eastern usually. they usually release the "lineup announcement video" with a super mashup by white panda.

Considering the rampant derping in this thread, I would argue that Rory/Juggs has been pretty docile. Honestly, he could do much worse. Try not to take it personally. Instead, use what information he's given you so that in the future, you're not so naive as to believe every single "leaked" lineup or rumor that gets shared on social media.

I'm not sure anyone was ever saying the "leaked" lineup was fact, nor would anyone that did think it was an early draft or whatever be surprised if it was wrong (including me).It's the best guess (to put it best) anyone has seen so until tomorrow or later in the week when we get the real deal it'll be a point of reference. It is what it is.

Ok we don't have a real lineup yet so this is all we got!

This whole thread is purely speculative, just like the Bonnaroo thread and every other festival thread before there was an official announcement. All this has established is that Redfrog are massive trolls with all the random hints they'll leave.
Wait, you actually think that's the real lineup? Really? Even Launchpad, who I absolutely never agree with and never would agree with unless it was the only option, pointed out to you folks how it's not correct.
And no, I'm not as dumb as certain people on this board where I'll put up everything I know and/or gloat about who my source is, because that's how you get cut off.
But please, enjoy the "leaked" lineup. And I can't wait for people to be like "well wait, that leaked lineup had most of the bands right it had to have been legit!!!!!1"
Edit: I mean, you've already identified that Elliphant is on the lineup, yet not on the "leak," yet now the consensus is "OH BUT ITS JUST NOT DONE! EARLY LEAKZ!!!" Yeah, Firefly went to the trouble of having a graphic designed make a mock up of their lineup without having all the bands on it. How much sense does that make?
I think the cpmmon theory is that this graphic is an early mock-up of a lineup poster, perhaps to see if they wanted to go with the graphic that was used or something.
Since you are quite adamant that you have a solid source to the real lineup, but (understandably) don't want to break any big names that are going to be on it, how about this? Could you let us know an artist or two that *are* on the fake graphic, but that aren't actually going to be playing the festival? That would really help us out.
This seems to make a lot of sense to me. I have been prying on this board for the last couple days, and I don't get why people brag about knowing the line-up - what purpose is it serving? Why get in a virtual pissing match? People see this leaked lineup, whether real or not, and like to speculate that it is real. It is a nice holdover until the real announcement. If you knew something, you could say X, Y, or Z are NOT playing.

Realistic Wishlist - Interpol, The Kooks, Matt and Kim, Tame Impala. Unrealistic Wishlist - The Strokes, The Shins reunion, Passion Pit, Mumford and Sons.
Well, not really, but the lead singer, James Mercer, went off to start broken bells and hasn't really looked back
The Shins released Port of Morrow in between the two Broken Bells albums, so I wouldn't say he never looked back after teaming up with Danger Mouse. Moreover, The Shins released a new song for one of Zach Braff's movies in 2014.

Yeah, really doubting Mercer and Danger Mouse plan on making Broken Bells their primary focus. I'm glad they didn't abandon it after the first album, but it's better as a side project.
True, but they certainly haven't been doing the festival, nor even the concert rounds.
I wouldn't expect them to tour again until they announce a new album. They toured off Port of Morrow in 2012 and 2013. Mercer was busy all of last year supporting the new Broken Bells album. Perhaps we'll see them on the festival circuit again in 2016?
Ok, I made an account just to respond to this thread. That is the reason people like rory and launchpad use their insider knowledge. It's to draw up hype and controversy to get more people talking about these festivals. Also it's a lot of fun I would imagine.
To address the Mike Greco issue, I understand not liking the man's sense of humor or some of his posts, but you have to give hime credit for responding to just about every single topic on every form of social media there is. He's not a bad guy, and is certainly not the one to blame for the firefly message boards (unless he actually designed them). Those boards have been a mess since I joined some time last February. At first there was no organization, there were essentially two categories and there were constant repeat posts because people refuse to search or look past the first page. Now there are way to many categories and honestly they don't even make any sense. There is no reason to have three separate subcategories for the lineup alone. There are several overlapping categories and it just isn't well organized at all. They could really take to inspiration from this forum layout, which manages to have more content with much less confusion.
The firefly fan page on facebook is quite active, but is honestly a terrible format for disscussion as I'm sure you all know.

Haha. I'm not sure why you would think that. I actually made a somewhat unfavorable remark about him earlier today. I only wish I was given a VIP pass for posting on forums like he supposedly does.

I think the plethora of 90's rock acts last year was an anomaly. Weezer, Third Eye Blind, and Beck were all active last summer, and Foo Fighters were likely booked last year because they knew they wouldn't be available this year. In 2013, the only 90's rock band was the Chili Peppers. Hypothetically, I'd love to see either Guster or Gin Blossoms as a 90's throwback act.
