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!!
Cold water low pressure showers are still showers. I cannot imagine doing a roo without showing everyday anymore. I went early enough last time to not have a 40 minute wait, or be super sweaty two minutes after getting out. I wouldn't go three days inside the house with AC without showering much less at bonnaroo.
1karen1, please explain to downonthefarm that a festival isn't a festival without all the grime, filth, fecal flakes, etc. that you love.
Listen...first of all...I'm a clean person. I promise you. And inforoo people can vouch for this. Or else I wouldn't be invited into the hot tub.
And I don't actually yearn for a filthy festival. No matter what Juggs says. It's ok. He's in love with me. It's flattering. And the day he shows up at brunch I'll smooch him. As soon as I'm done funneling moonshine.
But...the point I make again and again is that a festival...especially a camping one...is an escape. We shower and pee in pristine bathrooms all day every day. We have fancy food and fancy filtered water at our homes. So this is why I don't like the progress of festivals. The majority of the big one are trying to make the festival more like home. I don't want home. I don't need home. I have home. A suitable one. That leaves me little for wanting. So when I go to a camping festival (bonnaroo is a far cry from the dirty hippie fest) the last thing I'm looking for is a hot shower or a charging station or the vendor food.
I don't need that. I don't want that. I want an awesome backdrop to see my friends that I've made on this site over the past 9 years. And it's always beautiful.
At the end of the day...at bonnaroo...I shower in the troughs at camp. I don't wear pants. And I lay in the dirt. And when I go home I wash it all off. But what doesn't get washed off is the experience. The solidarity I get from seeing my festival friends.
No farm improvement can take that away from me.
And there is the added bonus of awesome music. Ever evolving amazing music.
I'm sorry to hear that, Phi. As much shit as I give you from time to time you clearly put a lot of work into Festival's Knob, and it's too bad to see you joining up with the Buzzfeed of music news. Tell Alex he's still a ponce.
I mean, I'm basically the Buzzfeed of festival news?
While I definitely wish we had a long list of intelligent journalism gurus writing long thought provoking op-eds, we don't. :-(
Damn, VIP showers are pretty tits. I'd hate to wait in line for a cold shower like the rest of you plebs.
VIP showers are a million times better than the staff and guest camp showers. They are really nice. Between those and the potty trailers the cost of VIP is worth it.

Fromm my small stint in VIP...and my time in Guest..,.VIP has better facilities than Rolling Stone and Spin.
I work as a vendor. Get free showers. There is always hot water and pressure between 1 and 4 am when I am usually there. i gots to sleep clean.
If the GA showers were open after the late night sets I'd probably partake but I'm pretty sure that they're only running when the sun is out which means that I'll immediately be sweaty and then dusty.

I have never showered at Bonnaroo and probably won't this year. I would be lying if I said it wasn't partially because that first shower back home after 4 days of sweat and funk might be one of the best things ever.

Congratulations, I think fecal flakes is about the most disgusting thing I've ever read
I survive Roo with a cheap solar shower... just fill it up each morning, let it warm in the sun, then rinse off. Not really much pressure at all (gravity fed), but with a washrag I can get my face/pits/man bits clean... and that's all I need. But hell, even my first Roo I didn't bother doing that much- i just put some water in a pot I had, let it warm up, then dipped a washrag in to wipe off with. You get and stay so filthy at Roo it doesn't make a lot of sense to me, to bother having a proper shower.
baby wipes and bottled water sponge baths/shampoos FTW. Bunch of fucking amateurs you Gen Xers and Millennials are. Throw a tutu on that skank and shake that booty - thats my motto.

Bottled water for a shower seems a little wasteful.. Does everyone do this? I just figured fill up my solar shower at the wells...

Refilling jugs of water at the wells to rinse off at camp works out well. My hair is really long, so it's impossible to wash in the troughs without getting other people's toothpaste in it. Also, look at this multitude of options:

I take a shower every morning at roo because it refreshes me and wakes me up. Plus my hair gets really ratty if I go even a day without showering it at a festival.
The post-roo shower still feels really good, I promise

Bahh, get that shit out of here! My girlfriend uses that and it almost chokes me to death every time.

I also shower everyday at Roo, I just need to. The smell of shampoo is relaxing and it's the only time I really feel I am getting 'me' time amidst the wonderful chaos.
I can't understand why showering is so much better at Coachella. Seriously they put the Bonnaroo showers to shame. Not only are they free, but the water pressure is better and the temperature of the water is better. I don't get it, can someone that is more 'in the know' explain to me why can't the ghetto traincars at Bonnaroo be a more enjoyable experience?

I feel like all of the time I'm at a festival is 'me' time.

Just baby wipe the creases and you'll be right as rain. We funnel the cold cooler water into a couple plastic tbs we bring along to wash our faces/feet from time to time and it works great. Crazy how refreshing you feel with just that little bit of hygiene maintenance.

The same reason why the bathrooms, food, grounds, artwork, etc. is better at Coachella - they've invested more in their infrastructure than Bonnaroo has, it's simple. Hell, Coachella actually has paid employees walking around picking up garbage all weekend, while Bonnaroo relies on an army of serfs who put in a half-assed effort picking up trash once a day in exchange for a free ticket.
I feel like the trash people at Bonnaroo spend more time yelling at everyone about the trash than they do picking it up. Bad vibes.
