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!!
As is noted in the article, it probably isn't entirely accurate especially when it comes to festivals, which operate a little differently. But I'd imagine unless Bonnaroo/Live NAtion was getting some great deal on Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire is still cheaper.
I think we're all just desperately hoping that The Weeknd and Kings of Leon aren't 2 of our top 3. And if they are, that the number 1 is an impressive booking, but the chances of that seem to be dropping by the day. At least if it's RHCP I'll have no qualms about abandoning the sinking ship
Most of us are a-ok with The Weeknd booking. Great performer, fills in a pop slot, and moves tickets. KoL would be a weak booking, but hey, can't win them all.
The Weeknd is a good booking if the other headliners are also up to snuff. But if that's the most exciting act in the top 3, I'm not interested.
Did none of you really get what I was saying? Forget that I used KoL as an example. Slot in Zac Brown Band or Dave Matthews or whatever shitty act you want to pretend Reddit claims is playing. Now, when that happens (when Reddit says shitty acts are playing), everyone here dismisses them outright, as they should. But when Reddit says something people want to hear (U2 is headlining! RADIOHEAD LAST MINUTE SEEKRIT ADDITION!!!), suddenly everyone is like "well, maybe we should think about that a bit." It's just funny.
Because we discuss shitty bands all the time. We enjoy discussing U2, because it isn't the same shit and it sure as hell isnt ranking. We aren't discussing them because we think this unknown Reddit user is dropping hot scoopz.

Maybe you should lay off all the "we" and "us" stuff.

I said "most of us" and in the other quote I was referring to those involved in the U2 discussion
Didn't the person that said U2 is headlining also say Chance is headlining?
Yeah, but on the few times I got scoopz, I just got names, not billing. Maybe the guy didn't get told The Weeknd but got told Chance and assumed he was headlining. I don't think it's true but it doesn't change much

saw U2 back on the 360 tour at the eagles stadium, was in the highest, furthest possible seat. sounded pretty shitty because of where i was, but im sure it sounded good down on the ground. they are probably the best bet at a 1 now.

All praise King T, the true Inforoo insider.
It's about damn time I get respect for the scoopz god that I am.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
With the U2 talk, decided to look up their last festival show, Glasto 2011...does Bono always sound this good live?
yea he does, i don't know if i'm in the minority around here but they're awesome live. a great time for sure
If set list looks like the Glastonbury set, thatd rival final only Macca in terms of hits:
Even Better Than The Real Thing The Fly Mysterious Ways Until the End of the World One Where The Streets Have No Name I Will Follow I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For Stay Beautiful Day Elevation Vertigo Sunday Bloody Sunday Bad Pride With or Without You Out of Control

U2 - RHCP - The Weeknd - Kings of Leon - The xx - Chance the Rapper - Flume - Pretty Lights w live band - Empire of the Sun - Major Lazer - ASAP Mob - Cage the elephant - the Avalanches - Porter Robinson - Glass Animals

I recognize about four of those; I'd probably know more if I heard them. You might be right in the Macca comparison, but there's a sharp generational divide with U2, unlike our favorite Beatle. I think a lot of Roo-goers would not consider the majority of that setlist to be nearly as recognizable as McCartney's.

"Hello - that is me. Yes, i don't have any 'inside sources' but BBC offers 'Bonnaroo sponsorships' out to advertisers.
i was with my sales rep on friday and this is exactly what was told to me
edit* - just to clarify... nothing was mentioned in terms of headlining. Though you'd pretty much think U2 performing Joshua Tree and RHCP would be headliners. Chance, though fantastic, may not be a headliner just yet"
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Neil Young - The Weeknd - The xx - Twenty One Pilots - Major Lazer Chance The Rapper - Alt-J - Pretty Lights - The Shins - Tove Lo - Grouplove - Foals

This "playing Joshua Tree" thing is still a red flag to me. Yes, it'll be the 30th anniversary, but U2 shows are already "U2 plays Joshua Tree," it's not some neglected corner of their catalog. They never struck me as the type of band to do some shameless nostalgia marketing.
Now if U2 was playing Pop for its 20th anniversary, that'd be something.
