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!!
lol so who's not mediocre then, because I've never personally seen RHCP and I've had friends tell me their one of the best live shows so I'd be ecstatic to see them
In terms of artists that haven't been completely ruled out yet?
Beyoncé The Cure Arcade Fire Neil Young Tool U2 The Rolling Stones Jay Z
Just saw Tool and Arcade Fire at Voodoo and I'd be so damn hype to see them again, especially Tool. If I could dream for Roo I'd like a RHCP, Tool, Weeknd, Neil Young

major lazer are the worst "live" "act" ive ever seen. with that said i enjoy some of their songs and occasionally work out to them, but diplo making an ass out of himself for 70 minutes on stage is the last thing that should take a 4 spot at bonnaroo.

I didn't bother to stay after Mumford to see them at the end of Firefly. I've seen Diplo before, that type of act was the last thing I was in the mood for to close out a festival. I thought it would save me some time leaving but it still took me over 2 hours to get out of the premier campground area (CSB).
Has anyone seen Major Lazer live and enjoyed it? I won't give you a hard time or anything, just genuinely curious.
I enjoyed their Coachella stream. It was nice to just bro out and dance for a good forty minutes.
Agreed, not every set has to be an amazing set with amazing musicians. I think seeing Major Lazer dick around for an hour and whatever would be good fun. I like to feel like a bro sometimes. But this would only be good if the top three is solid.
Man, that's a down year for Download. It does, however, force us to consider Metallica as a more likely possibility I think. Download was the only Euro Fest I saw as likely to pony up for them (the others don't need them considering Wacken moved 80k tickets with a headlining group of Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Testament, and Twisted Sister).
If U2 and RHCP were both on the lineup, who plays Sunday?
Fri: Chance The Rapper -> RHCP
Sat: The XX -> The Weeknd
Sun: The Shins -> U2
Yeah U2 are on Sunday no question. The only way they're not is in a 2013 situation with Neil Young
What about Neil 2013?
I'd say RHCP Sunday. U2 would be by far the biggest draw, and they always put the biggest draw Friday or Saturday. That matters more than putting the oldest, whitest person Sunday (see Petty and Macca 2013)

I mean that if U2 and Neil Young were on the lineup, U2 would be Friday and Neil would be Sunday, like McCartney and Petty.
Have they ever had a Sunday headliner that's not a jamband or classic rock artist?

When I think of absolutely ridiculous shit, I think of Flying Lotus playing a remix of the Final Fantasy VII theme before dropping into his own track, D'Angelo and a gutarist from the Vangaurd ripping it on guitar for three solid minutes and Kanye West rapping his heart out on a flying stage.
Not Diplo and friends pressing play, waving their shirts in the air and cutting the music every 30 seconds to tell the crowd how to respond to their awful songs.

I love Bonnaroo, and I need a reason to go back to the farm... Last year I skipped for Wayhome, which was easier, cheaper, and offered the same experience that Roo is selling....
I really hope Roo steps up its game so I can feel that sweet grass between my toes again, but something like U2 - RHCP - Chance ain't gonna do it for me.
(I do think that this lineup will draw more people than last year though)
I had a blast seeing Major Lazer at Panorama this year. Didn't encounter any weird antics or crowd games like I've heard described in the past regarding their shows.

I think Major Lazer suffers from the Flaming Lips syndrome. Diplo makes legitimately good music for what it is (albeit a little stale ten years in), but his live show is constantly doubling down on the shtick to the point where it eats his actual music alive.
ML used to be pretty good. Same with Diplo. Not so much anymore.
Yeah I used to enjoy Major Lazer a few years ago. I remember listening to songs like Original Don quite a bit. I don't know if my taste in music changed over time or if they just got worst, probably a combination of both.

I remember seeing Diplo and Dillon Francis a few years ago... maybe three years ago? They each did a set back to back. And I 100% enjoyed their sets. I'll admit. Especially Dillon's moombathon set. But seeing them both more recently, it's like seeing a completely different artist. It's absolute garbage. Neither of them give a **** anymore because they really don't need to. People will show up regardless of what they do.
