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!!
Nobody is putting Sylvan Esso on their lists. This is a mistake.
Listened/watched their KEXP show today. I will definitely be checking them out this year. I would also recommend Twin Peaks and Manchester Orchestra for anyone who enjoys good rock music.
I've loved Manchester Orchestra for years. Their heavier rock sound is solid, but my favorite hands down by them is I Can Feel A Hot One. Incredible track. Haven't dug much into Twin Peaks, need to do so soon.
A porter add would make me so so excited goddamn. I don't even want to think it is a possibility though because then I'll get my hopes up...
And why does everyone think KoL has to be Saturday and Killers on Sunday? I hate that. So much.
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.

Bastille has on their website that their playing FF on Thursday. They may have just put that date up because it's the start of the fest. Can't see a band with that much popularity playing Thursday, but its possible I guess.
Bear Hands late night set? If they were during Zedd I'd be pissed. Only real problem and it's a shitty one.

I love porter but i think that the lineup does not need anymore edm, and is kinda lacking in basic alt. My Ideal additions would be The Strokes, Brand New, and Modern Baseball, with The Strokes in Becks spot, Brand New in Broken Bells, and MoBo in Big Gigantic. but they would all be just me getting my hopes up.
I honestly don't think there will be anymore additions. They obviously scrounged to make this work and at this point promising additions would be common sense as to attract as many ticket buyers in such shorter notice than every other festival. Also there is this quote from their blog post when they added Sir Paul:
"Now what? The lineup is out, there are no more secrets. The accumulation of emotions is teeming, only to be settled once Monday has passed and tickets are purchased. Then the wait starts all over again. 110 days until we meet at The Woodlands. 110 days until these words on a poster turn into memories, etched into our lives forever. We are ready to embark on the adventure of 2015, and we are incredibly honored to share it with each and every one of you."
I don't think an official blog post would say that instead of saying there is more to come if they actually had something up their sleeve. In hindsight I am feeling this year is simply a building block on the future success of Firefly, a kind of blah lineup with enough to make for a great time, but ultimately will be more of a reference point for when they got Macca to grace The Woodlands.

I have to agree. When I read that quote last week, I lost hope of any artist additions. While there are a handful of acts who are still available that weekend and would help bolster the lineup, I get the impression that Red Frog is completely satisfied with the lineup as is.
But in all seriousness, have you listened to any of: Little Motel, Missed the Boat, Dashboard, World at Large, People as Places as People, Ocean Breathes Salty, Gravity Rides Everything, Exist Does Not Exist, Dramamine....
I'll go ahead and listen to all of those. MM is not bad, but with so many other bands playing, I doubt they'll be the one I go to. I like the instrumentals, the singer doesn't really do it for me. If Modest Mouse is right before McCartney, it will probably be one of the bigger if not biggesr conflicts between my group of friends on what to do.
Some other recommendations for MM songs: 3rd Planet, Paper Thin Walls, The View, The Good Times are Killing Me, Fire It Up, and any of their new releases (especially Lampshades On Fire and The Ground Walks, with Time in a Box).

It's unlikely. I feel like there will be an act though that nobody excepts to play LN who is up and coming.
I doubt we see anymore artist additions (besides the hub acts) unless they sold way less tickets than anticipated or we get a cancellation.
Also I don't think Matt & Kim will be the Thursday headliner. They drew a pretty large crowd at their last Firefly and I don't see them being demoted to Thursday with a new album on the way. Last year Local Natives was the #1 act on Thursday and I'd put Matt & Kim well above them in popularity. The Kooks look to be a lock for Thursday night based on tour dates but not sure if they'd headline.
Pollstar also lists Big Data and Modest Mouse for Friday, Dirty Heads for Saturday and Cathedrals and Tove Lo for Sunday
I do hope they expand Thursday this year to open the brewery as well as the new pavilion stage. I don't understand why they kept the Dogfish tent closed last year on Thursday when it's always a big draw.

Too bad its happening. Nobody's going to be able to leave early or get a spot for the last show cause the killers will be playing. I'd say they are for Sunday mainly because we were all expecting them to be billed 2nd not third on the poster and considering last year they had the artists in the proper daily order on the poster, I'd be inclined to say that's why kings of Leon was billed 2nd

Fuck. I seriously hate that. I want to throw down for the Killers, not in zombie-mode and needing to be sober for the drive home. It makes me less excited for FF, tbh. I'm being a little dramatic, I know, but I'm extremely upset about this.
As for Thursday HLer, I could see the Kooks or Cold War Kids. Would Manchester Orchestra be a possibility?

Well if there is a glimmer of hope, in 2012 the billing was The Killers-The Black Keys-Jack White, but the order from Fri-Sun was Jack White-The Killers-The Black Keys. It has worked out every year since for the billing to be the same as the order, but I don't think it necessarily has to be. KoL just makes so much more sense as the Sunday headliner just like The Black Keys did in 2012. I'm not getting my hopes up that KoL will actually be on Sunday but I don't think it's out of the question.

Well its not set in stone... But I would brace for impact. I just can't see kings of Leon closing out the fest either, but firefly has done things with less sense to them in the past.
If the kooks do indeed play on Thursday, I'd peg them in for headliner, they are too far up on the poster for them to be anything but headliner on Thursday.

I would argue that Kings of Leon fits best in a Sunday headliner spot. A good number of people end up leaving festivals on Sunday. Having an unexciting headliner close Sunday night gives people the option to leave early without feeling like they made a huge sacrifice.
Brandon Flowers birthday is June 21st. I'd be completely fine with them being on Sunday. I'm assuming the fact that it's his birthday, and that they are returning to headline for the second time, that they'll really put on a show that will go down in history. Plus, with Macca playing Friday, that puts all of the pressure in the world on KOL and the Killers to do everything in their power to try and come close to being as great as Macca. Also just realized Macca's birthday is June 19th. Some sort of theme going on?

I guess I'm in the minority who think KoL would be a bad Sunday closer, but I realized that they have been having conflicting headliners on Sunday unlike Friday and Saturday so I would agree that having someone else big play during the killers set would be disappointing, and would much rather have a second option for KoL so I'm hopping on the killers on Saturday bandwagon now!

Yes, this was my plan....
Ugh, I wanted to do certain ~activities~ for the Killers. My body will hate me if I do so on Sunday night after four days of fest-ing haha.

Sorry if I missed this, but who was the "official" Thursday headliner last year? I only got to see RAC because I got in late, loved it though.
Local Natives, who were billing 18th. Billed 18th this year? Ironically The Kooks. Haha.
I think they were 20th on the final poster, but close enough. The Kooks have only Thursday and Sunday open, so they're a logical guess. I can't even make an educated guess on which day they will be scheduled since their tour dates involve a ridiculous amount of zig-zagging in June. Seriously, what was their booking agent thinking?

Looks like Mac DeMarco is playing Wilco's Sound Solid Festival in Massachusetts the weekend after Firefly. He's also playing Bonnaroo the weekend before Firefly. You couldn't ask for a more perfect gap in his tour. If Firefly doesn't book him this year, they're idiots.

But we have already determined, they ARE idiots. I doubt they'll snag him. Ugh.
