There's a lot of doomsday prepping going on in here this year. I get it... They got greedy — chipped away at awesome things and 2016 was a major dud. There's no reason to believe they won't bounce back. We know nothing, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The same people who put on all those great years are still doing the booking. Live Nation wants to profit from those 80,000 attendees. Relax...
According to infinitypass, C3 (who do booking for Lolla, ALC, etc.) are now doing the booking.
I actually didn't read that as C3 was doing the booking, I read that as IP saying that C3 is now the leaders of booking the best LN fests in the country? Maybe I took it wrong. Why would C3 suddenly start booking for Bonnaroo? That doesn't make sense to me....
Is that a RIP the lineup is garbage or RIP Livenation is scrapping the festival or an RIP the festival isn't gonna be the same?
It's like having a favorite restaurant. You see the familiar sign out front and you walk in. First you notice the art on the wall has changed. Then the waiter is different and hands you a new menu. Turns out they have a new chef too. Then you look around and notice all the empty tables.
C3 knows how to book and run some of the biggest Festivals around. They are now in charge. Not Superfly & not AC entertainment. The Bonnaroo name will live on but will it be the Festival we hold so near & dear? My heart says no.
Profitable doesn't automatically mean good. In fact many times it means the opposite. That's the issue.
Profitable is what Bonnaroo was before they put out a shitty lineup in 2016. My bet is on them trying to get back to that.
Are you sure about that? The fact that they raised ticket prices significantly and introduced camping fees while cutting back on the amount of music over the last two years suggests that perhaps Bonnaroo was not in a good financial position. Besides, I can't imagine Bonnaroo made much profit selling tickets for well under $300 for so many years.

I'm sure about that. I don't think Live Nation would have invested in a festival that wasn't profitable. Ticket prices rose with increased competition from other festivals, making it more expensive to book acts. I assume the camping fee was to offset improvements, i.e. bathrooms and utilities.

He said Bonnaroo equals C3 and Superfly gave up the talent booking, which implies C3 will be doing the booking from now on..
In any case, whoever was in charge of booking last year's Bonnaroo maybe shouldn't be in charge anymore. We will have a great idea of where Bonnaroo is in a few months.

This guy must be an industry insider. Check out the knowledge he's dropping, you guys. Real inside baseball.
I mean I could spend an insane amount of time trolling a message board for a music festival I don't even attend, but who would do that?
Looking forward to that headlining set by the Weeknd over on the Miller Lite What Stage, then maybe a sweet late night spot for the Verizon Wireless SuperJam.
I don't why sponsors on stages really matters. If that means more money for Roo, which means more money for booking or logistics, that's okay in my book! Live Nation is not the end of the world especially if it means more money into the festival!

but what made roo so great was its authenticity. for the longest time it was jam bands on a muddy farm in tennessee. adding blatant corporate sponsorships reallllly takes away from that.

I've attended since 2010 and, outside of the stages and tents, everything has always had a corporate sponsor.

im not saying that it isnt already heavily filled with corporatization but I just think something as blatant as The Miller Lite What Stage and Verizon Superjam would just be way over the line. And I honestly doubt the money that they would get for those sponsorships would help make a better lineup.

They won't do that; it's just Juggs being a hater. What Stage presented by Ford...I wouldn't put that past them.
Is OSL Outside Lands? I thought that was a city featival, but anyways that has the same issue as Coachella with being on the other side of the country. I forgot about Sasquatch though. That's a legitimate eoption
But Sasquatch is also on the west coast...
EDIT: What kenbone said
Austin Psych. And you can get a flight from ATL to Austin for super cheap.
Yes they do. I'm actually surprised this hasn't come up before. If infinitypass is right about C3 being in charge of booking for Roo now, I wonder how that affects things

If the same people are booking Bonnaroo and Shaky Knees can they make it so Shaky Knees doesn't steal ALL of the good bands?

Oh yeah I really wanted to go last year. I don't know how I forgot about that.
Ugh, the canceling this year was so brutal. I was so happy to finally go and then it got ripped out from under me without any notice. I'm still pissed/sad about it. Consequently, 2016 will end up as the first year I haven't gone to at least one camping festival in 5 years

I'd just be disappointed not having a camping festival for my taste in music anymore. I'm not really able to do Coachella so what else is there? If Bonnaroo isn't better than Okeechobee or Firefly then that's pretty sad.

I am leaning towards WayHome if the lineup is good. Had some friends go last year who came back raving about how great it was. Plus with the exchange rate, tickets are only $180.

You're going to skip Bonnaroo?!
I have not decided on anything yet. I have to see the full lineups and what my schedule is going to be like.

Wayhome is definitely worth keeping on your radar dude. Can't speak highly enough of it. Shoot me a msg if you got any ?'s about it

Appreciated. I saw that interview with the new creative director for WayHome, he said the lineup drop is going to happen shortly after New Years with clues around Xmas. Wont have to wait till March again. Stoked to see what they have in store.
Rolling Stones - Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Weeknd - The xx - Justice - Run the Jewels
i appreciate your moxie, but the stones? at bonnaroo? come on now.
also RTJ are at northside in denmark June 9. with a US heavy tour in the winter it makes sense they'd hit some shows in europe this summer.
All The Stones care about is money. Back the Brinks truck up and theyll play anywhere. The only reason they haven't really done any other major US fests is because the offer wasnt big enough. With a new album dropping, I wouldnt say it is totally out of the question. Just a matter of dollars making sense. But I do lean towards it being less likely.
