In the past 3 day passes were usually available for a good 3-4 months before they sold out, but the fest is getting really popular now. The presale sold out immediately and there was hardly a discount.

I can't tell if all this Kanye talk is speculation or confirmation. But if him and Beck truly are two of our headliners, i'll be buying my ticket Friday for sure.

Gov Ball was trying to book them after LCD dropped out, but AF is busy recording their new album in New Orleans.

Haha I'm sorry people! I realize that I am overreacting about the Arcade Fire thing, I'm just a big fan and wish they could be here. It's not a big deal though everything is good. I'm very thankful for the info and I'm sure the lineup's gonna be great.

I don't see the big deal with them being repeats. Beck was 4 years ago and Kanye was 3. Seems long enough for me.
I haven't seen Beck live yet so I can't judge, but I've seen Kanye live like 4 times and each time was totally different, always amazing.

I'm pretty sure he's implying that all the Bonnaroo HL'ers are repeats, not Gov Ball

I've only seen Beck once, at Newport. It's was an almost entirely acoustic set where he played a bunch of his Song Reader stuff, so while it was wicked awesome in it's own right, I've been dying to see a true plugged in Beck set. Ahhhh!

He knocked it out of the park at Boston Calling last year. Easily my favorite set of that weekend

In 2014 they did announce Outkast as their headliner like 2 weeks before. Maybe they're announcing Kanye today to compete with Coachella tickets going on sale?

Also, anyone else find it kind of odd that tickets are going on sale the same time the lineup gets announced? I dont think I've seen that done before.

For some reason I was kind of feeling that maybe the info wouldn't be coming from the actual festival but another source
