I agree with all the grievances stated over and over here. I've been beating the same drum. But if McDonald's raised the price of a Big Mac by a few bucks, took one beef patty off and saw sales drop in almost half...I'm guessing they'd make some changes.
What I'm getting at is wait for the lineup to shape up/drop before getting so doom and gloom.
Yea but if McDonald's made the Big Mac worse and raised the price my reaction would be, "Fuck McDonald's. I have dozens more options." Not, "Well let's see what they do next."
I didn't necessarily enjoy Gambino's set in 2015. I thought I would really love it and was kind of "meh" through the entire thing.
The hoard of "Bassheads" stalking behind us waiting for it to be over didn't help the cause either though I must say.
I really enjoyed that set. But I really like Gambino. I was also there with a girl who really liked that set. But one of my buddies said he enjoyed 2012 more.
Yeah, I like some of his stuff but not all of it so I guess I went into it on the fence which probably wasn't really the right mindset to go into. I do like how he transforms from Donald Glover into an alter-ego for Childish Gambino though.

I thought we agreed Bonnaroo was going to turn into Lollapalooza with camping and vibez. So Bonnaroo went from hippie jam band festival, to diverse "music lovers" festival, to now basic bitch Woodstock with a lineup basically the same as Lollapalooza or ACL. At least that's what I expect to happen.

I don't have faith in the suits now in charge to recognize that one of the problems longtime Roo'ers are having with the festival is the shorting of the set times and the schedule in general
I highly doubt they will ever go back to 75-90 minute sets being the norm and not the exception

i know we've belabored this point extensively, but the fact is most artists have their little 30-45 minute festival sets planned and are going to play that, no matter how much time you give them. See also the great Tame Impala (Late Night) two hour set time / 80 minute playing time debacle and ensuing fallout of angry keyboard warriors. So for the majority of acts it doesn't do much good to give them longer slots.

Which is why the failure to give MMJ a late night in 2015 signaled the end. I mean many other things signaled the end, but that's one of them.

doom and gloom is inforoo's resting state. we need a good lineup to bring us out of the doom and gloom, not a bad lineup to put us there.
People will bitch about the lineup no matter what around here.
Serious question because I wasn't around back then. How were people talking about the lineup as information got released for 2014?
It was negative but it wasn't as bad as it is now. Looking back, 2014 was certainly not as good as 2013, but I'd still take that over the last two years. The Billy Joel/Elton John bookings really showed that they were getting lazy. Last year the top 3 were fine, but it really lacked anything exciting for me in the undercard.
2014 was a lot of complaining about Kanye and the Skrillex Superjam.

I disagree, 75-90 minutes is enough for the majority of acts to play their entire "usual" set, and it was never a problem before 2014 to give bands that much time. I highly doubt most bands would prefer to only play 45 minutes
obviously part of the problem this year was a huge percentage of the acts just didn't have the material to fill that much time, but that doesn't excuse some of the short sets they gave their few veteran acts
Tame Impala's ridiculous 2 hour set time was always just a marketing gimmick
Actually those weren't good times, especially after his performance. In fact, now when discussing Bonnaroo with anyone, I try specifically to avoid that topic of discussion. Unless you want to tell me how you were in the pit and what an amazing experience it was.

It's good to have another Yeezy die hard on the board

I wish I could've been in the pit....why did Bonnaroo have to put my other favorite band (Neutral Milk Hotel) on another stage right before Kanye. 2014...so good it was painful

I think people were mainly having a McCartney hangover coupled with the let down of missing on Outkast. When the lineup dropped in full everyone on this board was thrilled.

Tame Impala ended up playing a set equivalent to that of their standalone shows. Which is not what you are getting when acts have to chop off 15-30 minutes of their set times.
Party Monster is atrocious. I Feel It Coming is decent, although once again it just sounds like a mediocre Michael Jackson song, this time with Daft Punk
Are all of The Weekends lyrics this fucking awful? I don't know much of his early stuff but Party Monster is a train wreck of nonsense. Can't wait for it to dominate the Top 40.
