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!!
I skipped my cousin's wedding to go to Mountain Jam in 2012. I was stupid and selfish and also was opposed to what my cousin was doing with her life.
But my family wasn't happy with my decision to skip. This isn't about you, there's stupid shit you have to do in life that you don't want to.
With GA tickets at nearly 400 bucks each, I don't suggest spitting a weekend between Roo and the wedding either. I would just go to a different festival at a better time.

Agreed. Nothing like Bonnaroo though. I am considering another festival. Just waiting for the lineup and see how things work out.
Need everyone's help..... I love Bonnaroo of course like most of you. If I can attend this year it will be my 5th year in a row. I am 21 by the way. Here's the problem though my girlfriend of 1 year. I introduced her to Bonnaroo last year and she loved it. Before we went she thought she was going to hate the hot weather and not like many of the bands playing. She didn't know how great Bonnaroo though. So she now knows my love for Bonnaroo and how great it is. She said it was the best time of her entire life and she never wants to miss another one. Well the problem is her brother (which I'm not very close with) wedding is on the 3rd day of Bonnaroo in Charleston,SC. I would really much rather go to Bonnaroo. Any suggestions guys on how to work this out?? Anytime I bring up the idea of going she tells me to not even bring it up cause it depresses her missing it. Thanks everyone!
1. Are you thinking about marrying her? 2. Did she give you the option to go without her?
If you see or consider marrying this girl, you CANNOT miss her brother's wedding, even if you 2 arent close. One day you could be family and it would always be there that you missed his wedding. If you don't see yourself marrying this girl... well, it's an obvious choice. Those people will probably be divorced in 5-10 years anyway. Go to fucking bonnaroo man!

I am thinking about marrying her but not for a few years. I'm not really about the marriage part. We love each other and live together happily. Don't need much more. She hasn't talked about it because she cannot go. She knows I want to go also very badly. As of now just gonna wait for the line up see how it goes. Just looking for ideas on how to work this out. She loves concerts so I've tried to make a deal I'll buy her firefly ticket if she lets me go... It might work!

dude you're dumb. She's gonna break up with you if you go. That's why she hasn't talked about it. Bc it's not an option. I was trying to gauge your relationship but it sounds like you'll be attending a wedding with your girl. Or bonnaroo newly single.
she knows it's important to you. you're only dating, not married. she'll have her entire family there to sit and talk to. I say go to roo and then spend the rest of the week there with the fam.
it's only a wedding, people are only concerned with the bride/groom, not whos there. you're gf should understand. Buy your ticket and tell her you won it and then you have to go

Playing the little devil on your shoulder here: Facts of life, you're only 21. Even now, the odds of you staying with her "4eva" are slim. Go to Bonnaroo! .....I wish you both happiness and love in your journey together, though!
I would love to see a Venn diagram comparing "people who say go to Bonnaroo over the wedding," and "people who will still be single well into their 50's." I bet it's just a single circle.
I'm curious the average age of the people saying go to the wedding vs. those saying go to Roo.
Going to bet the age of those saying wedding is significantly higher than those saying Roo.
Don't be a selfish jerk and go to the damn wedding. Bonnaroo is just a music festival, why would you ever prioritize it over something that is obviously important to someone whom you claim to love, especially when there are tons of other festivals to choose from?

The alternative is right in front of your face.
Look, if you have the weekend of Firefly free - go there instead. Your girl is gonna be pissed off if you bail on her to go to Roo. I have skipped the last three Bonnaroos for various reasons. Would I liked to have been there? Yeah. But you know what, you can watch half the sets online anyway. Go to the wedding, catch the webcast for Roo in your free times, and then go to Firefly.
In 2012, I had a ticket to Moogfest and my girl gave me an ultimatum: go to Asheville and come home single. I sold my ticket and stayed home. As much as I like going to festivals, I like being with her more.
she knows it's important to you. you're only dating, not married. she'll have her entire family there to sit and talk to judge you for being a selfish jerk.

I'm in a similar situation. My cousin is getting married that weekend. I need to see the lineup before I decide what to do. It's going to be a painful decision either way, but it's going to be an informed decision.

Send a nice gift.
Like a framed photo of me at Roo with some of my friends?
I love how seriously some people are taking this thread & that a poll was made.
If you're a creepy old single person at a music festival, guess what... you're a creepy old single person everywhere you go & probably made some worse life choices than skipping a wedding to go to Bonnaroo. On a side note, a lot of the coolest people I have met in 10 years of Roo have been people 50+ and not creepy at all. There was a group of 80+ year old ladies in sequin cowboy hats being golf-carted around VIP last year that were amazing. I can only hope I am doing things like going to music fests when I am old.
Kid, you should go to the wedding. You know what you shouldn't do? Base any decision in life on what people on a quacking music fest message board have to say. I'd hate to meet the person that makes all their decisions based on everything they read on Inforoo.
My friends are smart and would know not to plan their weddin' when I'm on my personal vacation.
I've had this conversation with home friends before.
Admitedly most of my close friends are married at this point, and I don't think my sister would schedule a hypothetical weddin' date without at least talkin' with our family first.
