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!!
And just the fact that you don't know that I'm fucking with y'all means you're guilty.
Yeah, general words for this thread as a whole (and I know I post in here a lot, but I don't confine myself to this thread at all, and I think it is silly to do so...I'm mostly just in here a lot by way of not being able to make it to Roo this year and thus opting for FF instead):
1) Lighten up. We like to kid around, not just on this thread, all over the forum. 2) Explore! Even if you know for a fact that FF will be the only fest you're attending this summer (that's the case for me, sadly), the rest of the forum isn't only comprised of Roo-centric talk. There are threads for general music discussion, upcoming shows and albums, and some just for shooting the shit/playing games/etc. 3) Don't take FF criticism so personally, or even criticism of this thread/FF fans - about 95% of the time, it had nothing to do with anything you've done or said wrong per se, just a general vibe of open sarcasm and poking fun. Embrace it.
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.
"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."
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?
I'm so over this snow and winter. All I want is to be able to order apps and beers outside with friends. I'll let you know if they message me again.
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.
Ha, I know it wasn't meant as a serious get out of my house, and I know that I am in truth, in your house, but it came off as brash, not funny. This year, I'm going to Firefly and potentially ACL. I hope to get to Bonnaroo at some point, but that won't be this year. The Firefly thread is easily the most relevant to me right now and takes a while to catch up on as it is. If you want to promote exploring other threads and remaining active in this community, making jokes that come off as extremely unwelcoming is definitely not the way to do it.
I don't even know why I got so offended at this. I must have read it in the voice of Urban Meyer or something.
Edit: I appreciate most of the sarcasm on here and haven't been offended by the jabs, but that one bothered me for whatever reason.

On a funny note even though Mysteryland USA is strictly an EDM festival it is only two months away and the lineup has still not been released.... And we thought the wait for Firefly was bad lol
I only post in this thread. It's the only one I find relevant to what i'm looking for. And I dislike most of the people who post here, I assume the rest of this website is just as douchey and pretentious so the last thing I would want to do is roam down that rabbit hole of internet trash. Fortunately this is the internet so I can come and go as I please and whether you like it or not, it doesn't matter.

This is why we can't have nice things.
People asked why people don't explore the boards, I just gave my answer.

Dude you live in Ithaca. Unless you are sparkles or the magic man from the commons, I don't care.

Basically, your answer was: "Fuck everyone else, I'm just here to get what I want and go on my way. Oh, and I think you're all assholes even though I've never actually met you and haven't taken the time to participate in this community. Instead, I'm just going to stereotype everyone on this forum."

Wow well this is awk. You don't even like most of the people here yet continue to come here and chat? Now I know who won't be getting a beer tradesies from me at the Woodlands this year.
Okay and so how many DC people are hitting up matoma tonight? Ughhhh I just don't live near U Street at all and ubers are gonna be so expensive tonight and my date has officially changed the plan to dinner and hangout instead. Im a little sad.

this is so dumb and way too early but ideal headliners for 2016? if i were to speak realistically i would say gorillaz because they're getting back together, muse because of the new album, and pearl jam because I'm hopeful.

Edit: Not sure if the mods are going to keep this thread or delete it in favor of a new one. This one was essentially created to mock the shenanigans associated with the 2015 lineup release debacle.

You haven't been all that much better than carlzner in some of your posts dude.
As for any shows tonight, yea fuck that but to all the DMV folks, just announced global citizen fest in April in DC for free. No doubt and usher are headlining, mmj will be there as well as a couple others.

We Mods of this pretentious rabbit hole of an internet trash forum will let you guys decide if you want to keep it the 2016 thread or start a new one.

Word on all this. I would love to catch this Matoma show, but I have yet to leave my house today and the snow is still coming down hard - getting over to U for a 10:00 show tonight would be an absolute shit show. I'm afraid I'll miss his set for something I feel more strongly about seeing at FF - fingers crossed that wont happen though!
Pretty amazing that that show is gonna be free. Is it going to be similar to the Veterans concert aka w/ millions of people and thus hardly a concert experience even for those who saw it live (as I did, and it was tons of fun but not comparable to a music fest show at all)?

Only a handful of posts and it already looks like a train wreck. I guess my vote would be to lock up this one and discourage anyone from creating a 2016 thread until after this year's festival takes place. Boner created the thread, but I highly doubt he cares either way.

Yea I vote to light that thing on fire and send it out Viking funeral style. The last thing the 2016 thread needs is any resemblance to the 2015 thread glory days.

It's from the same people that did global citizen for free last year in New York. Here check out the thread. The lineups on there! But it's a charity thing. And they give out tickets so it's not like a million people will be there.

They will announce how to get tickets at some point down the line. Sorry to hear about your matoma plans btw. Last year I had to miss cut/copy in dc because of family drama so I feel your pain, luckily I did catch them at roo last year, I hope there aren't any conflicts with them for yah! Radiating some good vibes

U Street released the set times.
Solidisco @ 11pm
Matoma @ 12:30am
I think those are pretty standard. Looks like you have enough time for dinner, hangout, and Matoma...unless hangout turns into sleepover.
