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.
A top 3 of RHCP/Arcade Fire/The Weeknd combined with a 2016 caliber undercard is an easy pass. If the undercard is more along the lines of 2015 (decent but not great), I might consider going.

Last year I went because of the headliners. It was the easiest festival for me to catch LCD at due to geographic proximity, I'd never seen Dead & Company before, in fact I'd never seen Bob Weir perform live period despite being a Dead fan since I was a teenager in the late 90s, and Pearl Jam always puts on a good show. There were definitely some undercard acts I was excited for, but it was a short list (Ween, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Kamasi Washington, Claypool/Lennon).
A top line of RHCP - Arcade Fire - The Weeknd equals zero headliners I'd truly be excited to see. RHCP don't care, Arcade Fire I love but I've seen them 5 times now (some new material would increase my excitement), and The Weeknd puts on a good live show but I'm not a particularly big fan. So 2 headliners I'd be happy to see but none that get me all hot n' bothered.
All that to say with that top line and an equivalent undercard to 2016 - nah. An equivalent undercard to 2014/2015? Definitely possible. It's a seven hour drive for me, I've gone alone every year since 2012 and I love love love going to Bonnaroo.
I ain't asking for much Live Nation, just show some competency and a bit of the ole' Bonnaroo weirdness and you'll have 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.
If Oasis isn't playing Coachella, they are not playing Bonnaroo.
nonsense, bonnaroo is a prestigious performance opportunity for any artist. we are talking about the place where Halsey sat in with The Chainsmokers last summer. people will be talking about that for years. i'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it.

infinitypass basically said she's jumping ship on Bonnaroo*, so I am feeling like next year's HLs are going to be
RHCP / The Weeknd / KOL
And it kills me bc I don't know if I'd go for that unless there was a STELLAR undercard, and I love me some Weeknd, but I've already seen him once. I'm really losing hope..
*to clarify she said that she doesn't think Bonnaroo is going to be the same Fest we've come to know and love. I'm exaggerating her actual quote a bit, but you get the point

I used them more as a placeholder for your generically big shitty, past their prime type band. It's just been the most thrown out for some reason that has been kinda my version of a worst case scenario. Idk why people have been including them tho.
