I wish there was a way to measure how many people would not have attended the festival if RHCP or Radiohead weren't on the lineup. That would be the ideal statistic.
Crowd size isn't that great of a barometer because, for all we know, RHCP's crowd could have been filled with people who were at the festival regardless for totally other reasons and different bands. They may have been like "eh might as well see RHCP now that I'm here. I know some of their songs and haven't heard of Radiohead."
But what if 75% of Radiohead's crowd would not have attended the fest if it weren't for Radiohead being on the lineup. Maybe because Radiohead has a diehard following that is willing to travel for them.
To be more specific, Radiohead had close to the same crowd at first but by half way through a good portion of the back crowd had left for other shows while I was still squished in the back all the way to the end of RHCP.
I would agree it doesn't say much in terms of comparing the two because both had large swaths of people that came for the entire fest, Radiohead just played less hits in the first half and lots of people "got their fill" and went to see Mac Miller or someone else.
My main reasoning was that RHCP definitely had a big crowd and kept them the whole way through. Them paired with another rock headliner is a good recipe, and that was my point. Now Osheaga also had a fairly deep undercard, and was also a city festival. We shall see how this one turns out for Roo soon enough.
I'm honestly curious because I've completely written roo off after last year, and the headliners aren't gonna get me there this year so if they pull off a undercard like 2015 and prior I'm gonna be in a glass case of emotions.
Member when the headliner thread goal was 1000 pages?
We're gonna need more lists to hit 400 by lineup
I think we could generate some more pages by organizing the first annual Bonnaroo Fan Melee On The Farm. It would consist of a no-holds-barred face off between the Facebook followers, the Reddit followers and the Inforoo folks. ...

I have seen some decent ideas in my time around here, but this one takes the cake for sure.
Probably should do it during Borgore or Getter, seems to be the perfect soundtrack for something so beautiful.

Top 3 Billed Bonnaroo Artists by Headlining Performance (Averaged if multiple appearances because I am not going to try to differentiate between WSP sets.)
Paul McCartney Radiohead The Dead* Phish Stevie Wonder Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Beastie Boys Neil Young & Crazy Horse* Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Pearl Jam Metallica Jack White Kanye West Elton John Arcade Fire Tool Dead & Co Phil Lesh & Friends Dave Matthews & Friends Mumford & Sons Red Hot Chili Peppers Trey Anastasio Dave Matthews Band LCD Soundsystem* Billy Joel Widespread Panic Jack Johnson Kings of Leon The Police Eminem Deadmau5* Ben Harper*
* I did not see any of these headlining sets so I'm going on word of mouth or non-headlining performances for these sets.
Or who did Joker Best. My vote goes to Mark Hamill, here's to hoping he reads more Trump tweets.
I did really enjoy Hamill's Joker portrayal back in the day. Hell I didn't even know it was Luke Skywalker back when it was first on the air!
However Jack Nicholson is still my favorite Joker. I think Heath did a bang up job though, but it's unfortunate we will never see if there was more to his story.

There's no agenda. The middle is pretty muddled. I heard good things about the set but never heard raves. Feel free to rank them higher on your list.

I saw a little more than half of those sets and I'd say it's pretty darn close to my opinion and experience. Nice work.
I've been to all but Bonnaroo 2002 and went to almost all of these sets (skipped KOL for a ham sandwich and RHCP for a nap). I'd have Neil Young top 3, LCD way closer to the top, Jay Z high up on the list, and move Kanye down a bunch.

Neil Young was so long ago that it's rarely mentioned. (I probably docked it a few points based on the only other time I've seen him headline a festival. He played for an hour.)
Jay Z was #4 so he doesn't qualify for the exercise.
I tried to keep Kanye in the middle because people seemed to either love or hate it. I thought it was okay but I was in the pit so it's nothing that I'd fight about one way or another.
