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!!
Well for those of us still going it is something to help build the excitement and also the adds can't really hurt what already is a very radio friendly blah lineup. Also the Day by Day should help us organize a realistic schedule too which could make or break thhis lineup for some. Again, it's more about the communication than anything.
I understand. But they can play lay-back defense to the questions they don't want to answer as often in advertising, "there's no such thing as bad press", and certainly the more people hound and ask, they can maintain the hype and mystery. On the other hand, when they need to play press defense, "zomg we can't drink, wtf?". they respond quickly because they have to protect at that point. I also agree with you on schedules and such. Seems that lately a lot of festivals will eventually give you the by day but don't seem to get to the schedule until a week or 2 before. That was recently the case with Buku, and no schedule yet for Euphoria which is 2 weeks from Thursday. I am not OCD, but I do like to arrange a schedule and some food options early to help me plot out a general roadmap of shit I will see and food I will eat.
Don't worry about your "food schedule" sweetie. My group is super close to where you're staying and we always bring enough food to feed an army. If you're l ooking for goceries, just come by the house. We're just outside the gate, so you can eat without having to donate a kidney.

So I put inforoo down for a few hours and we get actual new dropped on us?! Way to go hangout!
Am I reading this IG post correct? Are we to have the bmi stage on the sand this year? Also that list looks short are those enough names to fill out that stage as it was last year? I thought bmi had about 4-5 acts per day last year? And that list has 10 acts? 3 per day with 4 ok one day?
My other thought was that the bold names on that list may play two sets? That would give us 14?
Expected to see the revivalists on da beach but whatever, I'm sure they'll close BMi one night. Def a shirt list so just keeping the hope for additions alive
Anybody else think the timing was super weird on that post too? Like I feel like 6pm is not the best marketing time to release stuff. Maybe since it's not groundbreaking news but still
BMI Stage suX. Asphalt, hot, crowded, food vendors on both sides, small stage, difficult to see stage from a couple heads back. I can see the Muddy Magnolias and Brett Dennan on that stage. In the past a small 3-5 person band traveling light will fit ok. Best for 2 man band or EDM. Putting the Revivalists, Koa, Strangers you Know and Half Moon Run, on the BMI is a bad call IMHO. Another reason to whine/complain about the new "Hangout out with my teenage kids Festival". LOL
A friend who just got back from the beach asked me if I had heard "THE" news about spring breakers and troubles Gulf Shores was having. I said yes, I heard about them stopping beer on the beach thru 17 April. She said there were a couple deaths, the city is stripping the beach every night after dark of anything like tents, chairs, etc, a lot of problems with sanitation not keeping up, costing the city a lot to keep up that they did not budget for (fire, police, ambulance service). I copied this from WALA
It will be interesting to see all this plays out for Hangout. From what I am hearing, it is not going over well. I have heard others beachdude who say it is just a few locals with their hair on fire.
Maybe not the appropriate forum, but everyone in the Hangout thread is pretty cool. What do you get when you cross ethereal post-rock band Hundred Waters with Chance the Rapper and Skrillex's directing debut? Then throw in Moses Sumney and Robin Hannibal?
A fairly soulful remix of Show Me Love. Hundred Waters, while too heady and soft for a festival, is pretty bad ass. Signing them to Owsla was a trip because they are not remotely anything one would readily associate with Skrillex. But he liked them, signed them, and sent them packing from Gainesville, FL on a world tour. It blew them away because they were like, "he doesn't have to do this..." Now they are getting pretty big. This song isn't really reminiscent of what they sound like. But f it. See the link to the video below.

Hear me out. Bump all those food tents forward 20 feet and put the bmi on the back side facing out toward the water. This keeps the walkway for food but moves that stage out onto the sand and gets folks off the hot blacktop. Only thing we would lose is a volleyball net which Id say is worth it.
Somebody said no Disclosure... Sounds weird saying it, but couldn't they be the Sam Smith of 16? What about Ween? Have they been mentioned? Prez Hall played BMI last year and there were lots of other big groups on that stage. Best spot at that stage is up by the bathrooms (if you aren't right up front). As for Lolla...for me Two Door, Stapleton, Rateliff, Mutemath & Lettuce.

Haha. No surprise there. I was going to post it in new releases, but since Chance missed his flight back in 14 and Skrillex killed Surf 2015, it was apropos enough. Many people hate Bonnaroo's lineup this year, but if I go, I will see Hundred Waters in their entirety. I saw them cold with only limited research at Voodoo. Show was unique but sound bleeding in from either Revivalists or Flow Tribe interfered with the quieter parts of songs. I remember posting in the review that I would like to see them in a club where audio distractions would be minimal. Spacey for sure, and sort of a niche act blending the likes of Bjork, a concert pianist, everyday noises and sounds, percussion, electronics and live instruments over Eno like soundscapes. What I like about them is there is literally no one that sounds remotely like them these days. And for all the pop chick singers these days like Ellie and Lana, I'll give Nicole Miglis the nod. Yeah, they are a 4am band but it's all good.
I have to say I love hearing Krisp and Esteban talk music. Then Bob chimes in with a totally different outlook & I remember all the reasons I love music.

Sometimes he and I are 180 on shit. But about 60% of the time we agree in full.

Hey I haven't been on the board in awhile probably since a little bit after the lineup drop but I've tried to lurk and keep up. Anyways jw if anyone knows are they going to do any lineup additions like previous years or since Goldenvoice took over are they done with that?

i think the Revivalists will close it in the J Roddy slot last year which was during the Surf closer. J Roddy was billed in a similar spot if not lower last year.

Dunno, that hasn't really come up on here.
Jk, we think we're getting additions next week.
Thanks man sorry figured it had been but damn there's a lot to t pages that catch up on haha. I'm hoping for some nice additions like previous years.

Yeah that's literally what we've talked about the past 40+ pages (and that's being conservative) but I don't blame you for wanting to skim through our banter
