Pulling a few of the artists from the bonnaroo favorites:
Radiohead - Mumford and Sons - Phish Pretty Lights - Chance the Rapper - Avett Brothers - David Byrne My Morning Jacket - Flaming Lips - Bob Weir - Dave Matthews Primus - Flying Lotus - Big Gigantic - The Roots - Galactic - Cherub
i wonder if we created lineup with all the "bonnaroo favorite" type artists if it would end up being any good and/or commercially successful. definitely subjective, but I'd be interested in everyone's takes on what artists are "bonnaroo favorites". also could an artist be considered a bonnaroo favorite if they used to play bonnaroo a lot but not so much anymore?
MMJ Pretty Lights Chance the Rapper Mumford and Sons Avett Brothers Les Claypool Phish/Trey David Byrne Dave Matthews Flying Lotus? Big Gigantic The Roots
others?
The Dead Jack White Radiohead Kendrick Lamar Flaming Lips Bassnectar Galactic
...that's the others I can name in just a few minutes.
Guys, what about Zac Brown as a 4, 5, 6 or potentially even a three? That would get the kids in the door. The guy is a quacking huge draw and I fail to see why. He's played Bonnaroo at least a few times.

I've been calling this one the last couple of years. He will headline.

Luckily, right now he just announced a horrendous side project, so I don't think we have to worry about them headlining this year.

Not that I have any realistic expectation of them playing this or any other festival in the near future, but do you all think Rush would headline if booked?
While we're at it...
Moving Pictures Permanent Waves Hemispheres Power Windows A Farewell to Kings Snakes and Arrows Counterparts Signals Fly by Night Hold Your Fire Clockwork Angels 2112 Grace Under Pressure Presto Vapor Trails Roll the Bones Rush Test for Echo Caress of Steel
This is pretty much to try and be different from the same mocks being thrown out there. (top line at least)
Green Day, Wiz khalefa, Sting, Tiesto
KOL, Zedd, The 1975, Cage the Elephant, Tech 9, Billy idol, The lumineers
I can't believe after Seth Rollins almost ended his life with the Buckle Bomb you think Sting could actually come back and headline Bonnaroo 2017 against Tiesto.

Yes, which is why they'll never be booked. Also because aren't they pretty much done playing shows?
I don't have any stories, but I could ask her next time I talk to her. He's about 7 years older than me so there's a good chance that my mom was pregnant with me while teaching him.

I don't know that you are going to get people on board with this. They can both be on the lineup by Kygo is most certainly a bigger name in 2016/17 than Pretty Lights is.
I didn't know he was that big. i didnt even think that tropical house or whatever he is was still even popular
He's near headlining festivals now while PL has been dropping in the ranks.
look at Roo. Is that surprising? It is more surprising every year he isn't. Same with Avett and Umphrey's.
Pretty Lights has been a 'roo favorite for some time. You have to think they're going to bring back those tried and true after last year.
that's exactly what I was trying to say. If I didn't articulate it clearly it's because I have horrid grammar, I can't multitask, and general stupidity, amongst other things.

I think I get it now. There is actually a valid reason Bonnaroo's lineups have slowly gotten less exciting and more poorly curated over time, and it's not an overly saturated festival market, or festival organizers lazily riding the wave of their past success. Rather, Bonnaroo is trying to send us a very specific message that consciousness is a disease, and enjoyment of art and music is the clearest symptom of that disease.
Evolution has no foresight. Complex machinery develops its own agendas. Brains—cheat. Feedback loops evolve to promote stable heartbeats and then stumble upon the temptation of rhythm and music. The rush evoked by fractal imagery, the algorithms used for habitat selection, metastasize into art. Thrills that once had to be earned in increments of fitness can now be had from pointless introspection. Aesthetics rise unbidden from a trillion dopamine receptors, and the system moves beyond modeling the organism. It begins to model the very process of modeling. It consumes evermore computational resources, bogs itself down with endless recursion and irrelevant simulations. Like the parasitic DNA that accretes in every natural genome, it persists and proliferates and produces nothing but itself. Metaprocesses bloom like cancer, and awaken, and call themselves I.
So it turns out Bonnaroo was right the whole time! Coachella don't have shit on us girls and boys.

Zac Brown Band would be top 3 given that he sells out baseball parks.
But does he attract a crossover crowd? I feel like his audience is the same type of bro-country trash that sticks in their own music bubble.

Just read today that Garth was coming out with a new album. That would move a stupid about of tickets if they ever wanted to go left field with things
