And they destroy the street team. Burn it in a fire real good. Also everybody gets TSA searched in their butts. And if any children are seen enjoying ice cream, it gets slapped out of their hand. This is LiveNations fest now!
This reminded me of walking back after Dead and Co. this year. We saw security tackle a woman for taking a token off the arch. He took her down like a linebacker. A couple minutes later a four wheeler come busting out of the campsite chasing down a bootleg t-shirt vendor. Another fine defensive play was made and they had him zip tied with a knee in his back.
I'm usual not one to criticize the security but it was pretty over the top for such minor violations.
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.
The red flag for me is the BBC caring enough about a mid-tier American music festival like Bonnaroo so much that they offer "Bonnaroo sponsorships" (whatever the fuck those are) to their advertising clients.
I don't really think the guy on Reddit is lying but U2 - RHCP - The Weeknd is hard to believe. Wouldn't that be the biggest top 3 they've ever had? U2 are clearly a huge get and when have they had a #3 that can do an arena world tour?
Headliner preference is subjective but that top 3 wouldn't get me to buy a ticket...

Oh of course it is, but The Weeknd was just a #3 at Voodoo. Plus, if ever there was a year for Bonnaroo to increase their reach, it would be this year considering how much more LN is in play now.

Jesus Christ, just looking over U2's last tour.... 8 nights at MSG, 5 nights at the United Center in Chicago, and most other cities they play stadiums...

Who's ready for the pre sale? Live nation is probably throwing mad stacks at bonnaroo because they love the vibes! This is the year to go. My dream of hologram Elvis may finally come true.
well, my real answer would be gaga or beyoncé, but what else would I have if it wasn't for the Upcoming Shows thread and unnecessarily hyping up ariana grande? throw me a bone here.
U2 - Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Weeknd - Kings of Leon - The xx - Lorde - Chance the Rapper (LN)
Hooray! We did it!
Instead of Avett Brothers maybe throw something like Kygo or The xx and that looks pretty good to me. I haven't seen U2, The Weeknd, KoL, or Chance so there is enough for me to be interested in even if I skip KoL.
Just to take a straw poll here, how many of you would actually want to attend a Bonnaroo with headliners:
RHCP - Arcade Fire - the Weeknd
Obviously, not all of you are going based on the headliners, so let's just say the under card is comparable to last year in terms of its style. I'm just curious because I'm having a hard time judging some of your opinions in this thread about what justifies a successful headline roster in your collective eyes.

I'd go if the undercard was 2014-2015 tier for sure. Those headliners are fine with me.

I would actually prefer U2 to RHCP (saw them a few years back and it was the worst show I've ever been to) but if the undercard was '14/'15 I would definitely still go and would probably have a few friends in tow as well.
