Oh, I'm not comparing '15 to '16 because 2016 was just abysmal. 2015 was far better than 2016. I'm just saying that we should hold Roo to a higher standard than "Well, it's better than 2016!" I went to 2015 and it was just good enough for me to justify going. But, there are just too many fests these days with great lineups to accept anything sub-par
Sun: De Lux -> Spoon -> Freddie Gibbs & Madlib -> Florence & The Machine -> Billy Joel
Tears vs. Ben Folds was just about the only big conflict for me. Friday was the only really satisfying day for me start to finish. The shows that I went to were great, but I had a lot of down time until the late afternoon each day (except Friday.) Also, that was one arguably the weakest Sunday I have ever seen at Roo. Caribou, Spoon, and Florence were the only shows I went to that day that satisfied and I'm not even a real big fan of Spoon and Florence
agreed it was the weakest sunday of roo. i actually went home sunday morning. the ONLY artist i gave a shit about that day was Caribou, and i preferred to go home and watch TV with my wife rather than wait until Caribou played in the evening.
i know i just said nice things about the 2015 undercard, but i'll also note that 2015 was my personal least favorite bonnaroo experience, mainly due to heavy conflicts in scheduling, coupled with stretches where there weren't artists I was particularly interested in. i had a much better time in 2016, despite the objectively lower quality lineup, due to subjectively good scheduling and significantly smaller crowds.

There's another Reddit rando claiming he's heard from 3 different sources that it's U2, RHCP, and Chance. What a coincidence if The Weeknd doesn't play because those dates seem like a lock.
Shakey Graves, Hiss Golden Messenger, Freddie Gibbs and Madlib, caribou, Robert plant, Florence, spoon, punch brothers, mick Jenkins and Shabazz palaces all played that Sunday.
I'm legit sad. Assuming these are our headliners, the undercard would have to be "Hey let's try anal tonight" good for me to get to the farm this year.
I will give them credit on the unique booking of U2. But RHCP? Jesus. Such a lazy booking. The Weeknd I get it, he had the largest crowd at Voodoo by far.

Unless Chance plays LN Which and I can get in the line while RHCP is on the main stage. That might perk me up a bit.
Don't be surprised to see RHCP smothering Live Nation's festivals in 2017. Package deals brah.
Which LiveNation headliners last year did multiple fests for them? Only ones I can think of are Radiohead and LCD doing both Lolla and ACL.
AEG are the ones who had Calvin Harris do both Coach and Hangout, Kendrick at both FYF and Panorama, LCD at FYF, Coach, and Panorama, Florence at Firefly and Hangout, ect. ect.

I would be shocked honestly if Chance DIDNT get a LN Which set.
That always blows my mind. I've never been to a festival where I can't find a full day worth of stuff I want to see and even some conflicts.
you mean besides Saturday this year?
Nope, I stayed at What all day for Pearl Jam, but I like Grace, Chris Stapleton and Band Of Horses. I missed Clutch, Claypool-Lennon, Nathaniel Rateliff, Steve Gunn, Natalie Prass, Haim. I like all of those things.

Sunday at Roo '15 was just ok for me. And that's only because I really like Caribou, Spoon, and Hurray For the Riff Raff. I would have enjoyed Florence too, but she conflicted with Caribou. What I caught of De Lux and Punch Brothers at the coffee shop was good as well. Sunday in '13 was one of my favorite days at Bonnaroo.

Hear anything about the undercard? RHCP is really the only "bad" booking up top so a good undercard would right any wrongs.
