Everyone would go see RTJ that likes them and then they would go see MMJ later. The issue would be having to miss Flume and Tears for Fears completely to catch RTJ. Bouncing back between MMj and the Superjam would be fun too. I think they stick to the 12:00 superjam timeslot.
Which - MMJ ( 1am - ?????....sun up) This : Tears For Fears(Midnight - 130am)>>>SuperJam( 2 -330am) That : Run The Jewels (1230am-2am) >>> SBTRKT( 245-415am) Other : Flume ( 1am-215am) >>> Grammatik(245-430am)
Sat LN :
Which - Bassnectar ( 1am-4am) This - Ben Folds and YM(1230-2am)>>>>SuperJam(230-430am) That - Slayer( 1230-2am)>>>>Tyco ( 230-4am) Other - Fly Lo (1230-2am)>>>> STS9(230-430am)
This has two Superjams. Outside of Sunday's bluegrass jam, there is only one on the lineup. Are you just assuming they will add another?
Also, the last time we had a LN What act (Jay Z), he was scheduled until 1:30 and there wasn't a LN Which act afterward. I think it's possible that Deadmau5 plays late as well instead of a traditional headlining slot from 10-12. Although the big difference is that Jay was billed 4th and Deadmau5 is 3rd, meaning unopposed HLer.
I assume he's also counting the Oneybor thing as a superjam.
I would have expected Deadmau5 to be a LN What set until I saw him billed over Kendrick. I think they will be scheduled just like Lionel Ritchie/Jack and Vampire Weekend/Kanye were scheduled.
Here's one I put together with yellow highlighting what we more or less know from the Schedule Confirmation thread and red highlighting potential artist additions. I messed with it a lot today, but hopefully I didn't move any of the "known" dates for acts to the wrong days. Don't pay too much attention to the squares matching up with exact times. I didn't.
I'd love some feedback so I can tweak it further. Suggestions... 1. Act X is too big to play a tent. 2. Act Y won't get a Which/What spot. 3. Act Z isn't likely to be a LN act. 4. The link doesn't work. 5. You forgot the link.

First off, A+ for layout and presentation. Love what you did with Alabama Shakes! Slayer needs to be moved to late night (probably). Sunday, check The Bluegrass Situation website as they are all on the same stage including Shakey Graves. Love the scheduling, flawless for me.

Wow - amazing, easy to navigate formatting there! Beautiful.
Thursday looks nearly perfect. Sylvan and MO conflicting would bum me out, but what can you do. Friday is also great - I really want Odesza to get LN, but I know they easily might not, since lots of bands on this lineup really ought to get LN and they can't all. Ben Folds conflicting with Caribou is my biggest disappointment in this mock.
But fantastic job! I'd honestly be quite happy w/ this schedule.
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 can't take credit for the layout because I'm pretty sure I got the original template from a post someone else made last year. But yeah, I've tried to make it my own and fine tune it up until the actual day the schedule drops.
I've noticed most people have put Slayer in a LN slot, and I'd be more than OK with that. I just thought they could also close a tent nicely and maybe even overlap a little with Mumford for those who are likely to skip that show anyway. But maybe Slayer is billed too highly to be where I have them?
The Bluegrass Situation lists too many names to all be in the same tent on the same day, so I put a couple in different spots on Sunday (and assuming they all jam together for the final tent show).

I know it would be crazy, but if they want a ton of crowd flow they could put florence on the which right before mumford. It wouldn't be a huge step up for a #5 on the lineup on the which when last year they put phoenix #7 on the which. probably not going to happen but dumb enough for them to try it
I find it odd that you put Glass Animals down for a Saturday night slot. Not only do I think they'd be great for a Thursday LN show but I thought the general consensus was assumed to be that they AND Jungle too were playing Thursday. Or I could just be super wrong. Regardless, what made you place them on Saturday? I'm curious.

If I were to follow Bartaroo's mock schedule this would probably be my Roo experience...
Thursday: Chill, go to This Tent for Temples and try to get rail for The Districts, Ryn Weaver and Royal Blood. Yes I'm a marathon man. Then chill some more, head over to That Tent for Rustie, head back to camp.
Friday: Chill near Which Stage before noon and try to get a decent spot for Benjamin Booker, then try to get an even better spot for Trampled By Turtles. Silently cry to myself over missing Mac DeMarco. Chill and eat before heading over to see Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals, resulting in a good spot for Kendrick. Either keep my spot for Deadmau5 or just chill outside of the crowd and enjoy the show from a distance. Leave Mau5 early to get a not totally awful spot for MMJ... or go to Atomic Bomb... And then SBTRKT... no Run the Jewels... ARRGH YOU'RE EVIL BARTAROO!!!
Saturday: Check out Unlocking the Truth for a bit then head over to Gary Clark Jr. Have a short chill session before heading over to Ana Tijoux at That Tent followed directly by Against Me! at This Tent. Just head back to camp and relax until midnight for the Superjam or Childish Gambino (this depends on who they announce for the Superjam). Follow this either with Bassnectar or FlyLo. This depends on my mood, as I feel like Bassnectar would be more of a fun dance party while Fly Lo would be a cool visual and audial experience.
Sunday: Just relax until 2 then head in to see Brownout at This Tent followed by Spoon at What Stage. Head over to That Tent to catch Punch Brothers followed by Freddie Gibbs. Leave Freddie early to relax before heading over to Billy Joel. Happy Roo!

Hate to sound like a broken record, but this mock is awesome and highly possible. There aren't too many ouch moments. Based on this schedule, here's my .02.
Thurs: Camp at This for an awesome spot for Temples. Watch first half of Districts since I've seen them before, and I'm really digging Priory. After watching Priory, head back to This for Ryn Weaver, to get a boss spot for Royal Blood. Then follow that monster set for Sylvan Esso. Then close with Dopapod. Alright Thurs you done good!
Fri: Cringe over an early decision, Benjamin Booker vs Bahamas vs Iceage vs Courtney Barnett. After choosing one of those awesome acts, head to Mac Demarco. By default sit through Hozier, to get a solid spot for Tears for Fears: my number one act I want to see at Roo. After coming to terms with reality that I just saw Tears, chill at Kendrick for a bit. Head to Alabama Shakes, jam out there. Then see maybe the first half of Deadmau5, and get ready for my first MMJ experience. Then close with RTJ once I have had my fill of MMJ. Friday fuck yeah!
Sat: Run the 5k Roo race for the first time. Sit on the grass to some Phox. Find some Tanya Tagaq fans, and enjoy her set. Head to What for a rollicking Gary Clark Jr. set. See the first half of EWF, and then sprint to War on Drugs to finally see Kurt Vile in the flesh. Cringe over Flo Machine vs Belle and Sebastian, and probably split it up. I've seen Flo and she was amazing, but Belle and Sebastian won't come around Rochester so gotta see them too! Love Glass Animals, so that's where I'll be. Watch a small portion of Mumsons, and head to that Jimmy Fallon Superjam haha. Then cringe over that Sat closing LN's, and go with Gramatik. Hoping that once Gramatik is over, Bassnectar is still spinning into the AM. Woah Sat...woah!
Sun: Kick off the final day with a bang, Strand of Oaks is going to be a strong set. Then head to Hurray for the Riff Raff, "Small Town Heroes" was easily one of the best albums last year. Head to Shakey Graves, and stay there for a great spot for Awolnation. A band I've wanted to see since I first heard Megalithic Symphony. Check out some Robert Plant, head to the Bluegrass Situation finally. Then close to an epic string of sing-a-longs to Billy Joel. Ahh Sunday, ahh Roo. Until we meet again......

Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn are confirmed for the bluegrass tent, you'll need to squeeze them in there. Also MMJ conflicting with STS9 and MSM&W sends chills down my spine.
So guys, I've been going back and forth on whether or not I think Roo will have some decently big additions to the lineup and I've come to the conclusion that kinda have to have at least one kinda big addition. As I was making a mock, I went in to the confirmed schedule thread and realized that every artist that could logically take Arctic Monkey's or Wiz Khalifa's spot from 2014 is already confirmed Friday or Saturday, except for MMJ and Childish Gambino. And we have been told that MMJ is getting LN which but we don't have official a date yet. So, assuming that MMJ gets that LN slot, Childish could get either of those spots, but we need one more act of that caliber OR we are going to have the weakest act we have ever had in one of those slots

Ever since I did the initial count of artists on the lineup this year, I've felt like we would get a significant amount of additions, One of thems got to be of the decent size variety. Considering how small it is this year, I'm relatively new here but has anyone remembered a Roo lineup this small upon initial release?

The last time it was close to this was in 2012, I believe the initial drop was 107, this year is 90 something. It just doesn't make sense because the number increased ALOT in 2013 and then even more in 2014, so it doesn't make sense that they'd make such a huge cut this year
WOW....great job. LOVE the layout. Couple things. Bassnectar/Flume/Grammatik/Fly Lo LN Sat conflict will never happen. Shit, I want to see all 4. And I might change around LN Fri a little . Something like :
LN Fri:
Which - MMJ This - Atomic Bomb / M,S,M and W That - Run The Jewels / Tyco Other - SBTRKT/ STS9
LN Sat :
Which - Bassnectar This - SuperJam / Slayer That : Flume/ Grammatik Other : Atmosphere / Fly Lo
Actually, I kind of like the look of that..................

Also, is it just me, I find it weird they included the list of activities at the farm on the bottom of the lineup. Granted we have a small lineup but don't you think roughly two lines of music missing wouldn't necessarily require that much to fill space. I guess I just bring this up because I think there's a chance they have a new addition to the activity section. No clue what they could add but its a fun thought.

Less music = lower attendance = so much more room for activities

Looking at the top 15 and comparing to past schedules, Im actually pretty convinced theres no big adds coming. I had been thinking Weezer, Primus, Offspring, something like that. But to me the headliners, pre HL, top 2 Which acts per day, and 2 big late nights are there. Id say 3-4 lower middle weights and 6-8 cafe/thur acts.

Damn. Atomic Bomb into RTJ is about the only thing that could get me to skip MMJ completely. Big news considering those are 3 of my top 4/5 this year
That mock looks pretty good overall, only things I would change are minor switches, that could all go either way -- swapping Spoon (from What/Day) for Ben Folds (Which Closer) and sticking Gambino on What/daytime instead of LN.
But who knows. Nothing on that schedule looks out of place.
a second thought -- dunno if we get three LN Which acts this year. Pending adds, I'd guess not. Until the past couple years, that would've been unusual. Given Deadmau5 LN What, I think we might just get two LN Which acts this year. Doesn't help that there are far fewer acts so far.
I'm not sure Deadmau5 plays completely unopposed, either. I think it's a little more likely some combination of tent acts / MMJ start before he finishes.

Don't make me cry now. I'm still desperately hoping for Refused or Weezer. I'll take Primus even though I just saw them and would be mildly excited for The Offspring.

Great job on the mock; it's very realistic and the conflicts are totally what Bonnaroo would do. Regarding Slayer they don't have nearly as many schedule adds on the Roo website, so I don't think Slayer is billed too highly to be playing where you have them. I predict they would probably be a tent show, maybe LN but who knows as of yet. Bravo!

Thursday: Temples > The Districts > Houndmouth > The Growlers > King Gizzard > Sylvan Esso > maybe Dopapod Bummed about missing Hiss Golden Messenger and Ryn Weaver.
Friday: Benjamin Booker > Mac Demarco > Guster/Hozier > Ben Harper > maybe Woods or Odesza > Kendrick Lamar > Alabama Shakes > MMJ > maybe RTJ (depends when MMJ end) Wish I could see Courtney Barnett and Bahamas. Bleachers also put on a fun show
Saturday: Phox > Brandi Carlile > Dawes > The War On Drugs > Florence + the Machine > Mumford & Sons > Superjam ! > Flying Lotus This one is tough because the run on Which is perfect for me but it's all acts I've seen (and love) and I'd definitely want to check out Gary Clark Jr. and EWF who I haven't seen. No tent acts I'd be too upset about missing though
Sunday: Sturgill Simpson > Hurray for the Riff Raff > Shakey Graves > Artist Addition? > Robert Plant > Ben Folds or Caribou > Billy Joel I think you have the Bluegrass Situation stage wrong. Last year they had 5 acts there plus the superjam. This year they've announced 6 and the superjam, so I think maybe one of them won't be at the tent but you took three out of the tent and put one in. However, based on that mock, that's what my schedule would be
Overall, none of the super tough choices there were last year but still plenty of conflicts
