I'm gonna be there for sure, Bob. The lineup isn't going to be anything jaw dropping but the U2 thing is a huge deal to me. Combine them with Chili Peppers, Chance, Lorde, Umphreys and Big G probably both late night, I won't need that much more. Really pumped for my first Roo to be the year they get an act like U2.
Small chance I go this year. Do you have a crew that's goin?
I took my nephew last year, as I got an extra free tic. No crew, usually. Most of my friends seem to be poor.
I know now! Have been to 1st 2 Pilgrimages. Looking forward to going back. Excellent venue, I think. Only unusual thing is how early it ends.
where did you stay?...shuttle back and forth?
I stayed at the finest LaQuinta in Franklin, TN. About 3 miles from venue. Will probably be there again. Have tried Airbnb, but never get anyone to agree. Too much like dating for my taste.
Haha I don't want to go any of these damn fests. I think they're all a wash. 0-0-10. Ties all around. Europe has been crushing the line ups.
Europe's lineup game is strong. The 29 Jun - 2 July Rock Werchter Fest in Belgium only has 9 bands currently scheduled: Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Kings of Leon, Linkin Park, System of the Down, Alt-J, Blink-182, and Imagine Dragons (with more performers to be announced). Where is there a promoter in the US willing to commit the kind of bank to make it or something close to that happen?

IDK the more I look at it I feel like hangout better. I mean I'd prolly skip u2 personally. I'd love to see future islands, portugal, badbad, glass animals and big g but idk if that means giving up mgmt, sigur ros, weezer, franz, local natives and shaggy!
Edm is a wash although I prolly prefer dj snake over Martin garrix but snails makes up for everything.

Got Roo Ticket and Day Parking Pass. Man they sold out that first tier quick...but, I managed to get mine before the increase. Still an expensive ticket for as few bands as I want to see. U2 pretty much worth the price of the ticket for me. Goes well with the Doobies/Chicago VIP ticket in Nashville 27 June. I will probably work as well and get another four day ticket so may have an extra later.
I will go see U2, RHCP, The Head and the Heart, Umphrey's McGee, Future Islands, Tegan & Sara, Cold War Kids, Kaleo, Superjam, Snails, Preservation Hall Band, Greensky Bluegrass and Bluegrass Superjam, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Deap Vally, Stick Figure, and others that I will need to check out. That is a pretty good list of performers. Given I live 20 miles from the farm, hard to turn this one down. Anybody kmow if there are other folk/bluegrass/jam/funk/blues performers on the Roo lineup I need to check out? Roll call of Hangout folks going to Roo this year. I know Zaitch is in.

...Turkuaz I'll stay in touch about that xtra. U2 has no Atl show so I might need to hit Sunday on the farm.
I'll be missing my second Bonnaroo ever, and my first since 2003. I hate the lineup. Part of it is that I've seen about 1000 bands, but for the most part it's just a boring, uninspired lineup, in my opinion. It's, U2, Lorde, and a bunch of bands that have played ever festival over the past five years. And where did lines 3-7 go?
But I live close enough and have a free ticket that I might go for just the day U2 plays. Especially if Lorde/The Super Jam/about 5 other bands are on the sam day. But other than that?, I'm out.

There is no way Hangout's lineup is better. You know my thoughts on that already. But Roo isn't too far ahead of it. It's kind of a shitty year so far where I'd have to pick and choose with lots of wander time at almost any US lineup I've seen. I've seen almost everything I'd want to see at Bonnaroo for the most part, and there's a lot of shit on their lineup I don't know or care about. But if I was going to go:
U2
RHCP <--- Apparently covered Southern Nights and blew up the NO'rena last night and brought up Rebirth, GPJr and Ivan Neville
Chance the Rapper
Cage
Big G
Umphrey's
Portugal.
Royal Blood
Car Seat Headrest
Snails
Illenium
badbadnotgood
G. Jones
Pres Hall
Herobust
San Holo
Rezz
Kaiydo
Stick Figure
Turkuaz
Promise of the Real!!!!!!
GWN
Here's how I would defend my argument: If these bands were all on Hangout's lineup (and I realize several of them have been in the past), I'd go to Hangout. Because they are on Bonnaroo's lineup which is another > $1,000 festival for me but one that goes all day and all night, no. Also, there is a ton of stuff I don't know on Bonnaroo's lineup and don't plan on looking into unless the sets are streamed. But they also have The Weeknd, Major Lazer, Flume, Marshmallow, Tove Lo, Tegan and Sara, Yellow Claw, Cold War Kids, Louis the Child, Borgore and Ookay. Those acts pretty much suck balls.
I guess personally i probably give the HO 2 Headliners(that i like) worth of mental points just because of the venue. So when these others come out that are only marginally better, i'm not swayed because i'd much rather be on the gulf than any of these other places.

Idk Big E I did my "who I'd see list" on initial look at roo and came up with 27 acts I'd like to see without rly doing any research. Of those 27 only 7 acts are things I haven't seen before or that aren't at hangout (that's generous to bc I'm not counting chilis since they sucked at hof) when I do the same for hangout I come back with 33 acts to see 22 I haven't see or that aren't at roo. Then I have to ask myself is chili peppers, lorde, dram, getter, badbad worth missing the beach? Idk. I think I'm just stuck on snails, Portugal, futureislands, glass animals and royal blood.
Can't wait for St Augusta's 54th annual Family Pecan picking festival.
Can't way the festival bubble is bursting, but you can clearly see the dilution and watering down of line ups. Roos line up has a ton of good bands I'd see, but those tops rows are getting filled w so much of the same recycled stuff. Every single fest seems to have Majer Lazer on it. And why is Marshmallows a thing? I actually watched that fuckers livestreams and it was dreadful DJing. Except it was filled "drop after drop after drop." So I get it. EDM kids will blow hard cash to see that shit.

Nvm they didn't even get Martin garrix so hangout wins edm too.
