Yeah, it's making me nervous. Zedd was the EDM I was looking forward to most. If he's right before McCartney (who I'm looking forward to the most overall) I'm going to have to skip him to get close to McCartney. If he's after, I'm going to be pretty tired from standing for so long straight for McCartney/all the excitement of him playing and have little energy. It's a lose lose. Then I know a ton of people want to see Modest Mouse so that makes things even crazier. On the bright side. This means Snoop/Cudi is probably on Saturday or Sunday and let's be honest here, I'm going to pretty up in the clouds for those two. When McCartney is on I want to be fairly sober so I can remember every moment in great detail so it's good to have them seperate. Regardless, Friday looks like it's going to be really hard to plan. And as usual, Sunday hard to fill.
I'm with you on the stress of figuring out schedule including the relevance of what substance you want to be on for what. Honestly I probably want to be almost entirely sober for Paul - maybe a little stoned or a little bit tipsy, but that's it. Definitely no ECs. But if Zedd is right before him....that'd screw up so much haha
Haha right? Zedd before McCartney is a recipe for disaster.

I can see it now: all the energized, manic post Zedd folks trying to calm down for Hey Jude, looking already all panicked. Hahaha if that's what the schedule ends up being, I'll probably just stick to a chill weed/beer evening on Friday, even though that's realllllly not ideal if Zedd is that day. Do things right for us for once please RedFrog.
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, uh, "partook" in 2013 for Calvin > RHCP and it wasn't too bad honestly. I remember most of RHCP very clearly besides the first few songs, I just chilled most of their set and drank a lot of water so I was ready for late night.
God I cannot wait to see them this Saturday. You just made it incredibly difficult for me to study for my midterm tomorrow.
This was the set that made me realize that I really need to see them live. This and Nick Cave's set from that year were unreal. When you put in the fact that Modest Mouse wants 58 bucks for a ticket, any fest with them is worth going to IMO. I'm excited for this set the most!
I saw them weekend two at Coachella along with Grinderman, one of Caves other groups, and both sets were in the top 5 for me in what was possibly the most stacked under card of any fest I've seen. Missed Bad Seeds cuz Wu but MM is definitely a must see. They played everything you'd want to hear and were on point. One of the reasons I am still heavily considering this fest.

I really see Zedd closing out a stage before the headliner. That's the way I have it in my mock right now. Calvin Harris closed out a stage in 2013 I believe, as did Bassnectar in 2012.

Yes, but you have to account for the fact that the festival didn't run as late back then. The music ended at 11:30 pm in 2012 and 1 am in 2013. Last year, they extended festival hours to 2 am, and the two highest-billed EDM acts both played late night.

I don't know about you but I would much rather be ~hype~ for RHCP than Paul. Chili Peppers could be bomb in that state of mind; I don't want to be on anything hard for Macca.

USA vs. Portugal -> Martin Garrix -> Jack Johnson -> Big G was very delightful.
Exactly my day except I replaced JJ with Gambino. Probably one of the most high energy days I've ever had if that makes any sense
Sunday was one of the best days because of the USA game and one of the drunkest because of being in the Dogfish head tent all day mmmm, plus Gambino and Big G...I've never seen so many people turn to complete silence after that goal to tie it in the end. That sucked.
Are there a lot of people who post in here and only here? If so, dude, branch out... There's a lot of great shit on this forum. Spread your wings. Learn to fly (preferably over to the Random Thoughts thread).

I did the same - I remember walking away from the main stage in a haze (Firefly dust and mental) after the US gave up that tying goal while hearing Garrix drop Animals. I was not in the mood. Went and had a few margaritas and saw Childish and then Big G and the rest of the night was awesome. Big G closing was one of my favorite moments of the weekend.

Matoma is great - I'm seriously considering going solo to check out their DC concert next week, even though it is late on a weekday night. I'm afraid they will conflict with something I'm more attached to seeing at FF.
BORNS & Bahamas are both fantastic. Try Jungle too if you haven't already, if you like BORNS.
Gonna be "that guy" real quick...Matoma is one person. With that being said you should definitely check out his DC show next week.
My favorite undercards so far that I am personally discovering (non edm):
GRIZFOLK, Vacationer, Generationals, Max Frost
Edit: I've been playing GRIZFOLK - Waiting For You on repeat today
Just wondering - are you still gonna try to make it to Matoma tonight, despite the winter storm situation we have going on here today? I can't decide.

This was my logic. You think any chance Firefly adds more sets for late night this year?

As long as the show is still happening I plan on making it there. Just hope Uber isn't 3X charges. I emailed U Street yesterday with the concern that Matoma and Solidisco might cancel, got this:
"As of right now, the show is still on and we're expecting both Matoma & Solidisco to arrive on time. If their travel plans change or flights are cancelled due to weather, we will alert ticket holders as soon as possible."

With the addition of the Pavilion Stage, I think we'll see a few more late night sets this year, but I'm skeptical that they will extend the festival hours beyond 2 am.

Hmm okay. I don't have a ticket yet, and have a potential date to go, but I think the dude is a little less enthused about going to this particular show than I am haha and is sort of leaning towards choosing a less-travel-required Plan B for the evening. Sometimes I love snow, sometimes I h88888 it. Will you let me know if they message you with any info though?

Everyone else that exclusively posts in this thread should follow this guys lead.
Seriously? That seems a bit unwarranted.
That comment may have come across as harsh, but even if it wasn't said in jest, I can understand the sentiment behind it. I don't think the folks only posting in this thread should necessarily pick up and leave, but what's the point of joining a Bonnaroo-centric music forum if you're only going to participate in discussion of a different festival? Like others have recommended, I would suggest making an effort to branch out and participate in any of the other hundreds of threads in this forum. It's a big, diverse community, with thorough discussion of almost every topic in music you could think of, and yet some folks here choose to completely isolate themselves. Furthermore, this voluntary self-isolation has almost certainly contributed to the frequent "Us vs. Them" bickering between the Firefly/Hangout threads and the rest of Inforoo.
Edit: As Longinus pointed out above me, some of you need to develop a broader sense of humor.
