Without making my own full mock (tried to but screwing with set times became not worth the hassle without getting paid for it) here are my ideal theoretically possible days:
Th: GianArthur > Con Brio > London Souls > Floozies > Vulfpeck > Papadosio all in one tent F: Andra Day > Dungen > Shamir > Leon Bridges > Kamasi > CHVRCHES > LCD > Tame > Moses Sa: catch half of many, many sets throughout the day > Claypool > Pearl Jam > some baller superjam (ohpleaseohpleaseohplease don't fuck this up) Su: Saint Motel > Cymande > Lettuce > Kurt Vile > Misty > Ween > Dead
I would be shocked if there were not some conflicts for that situation on Sunday. Fingers crossed though.
yeah, i'm near 100% certain i'm not going to see father john. feels like too obvious a tent closer and i assume ween (at least) will also be on at that time

yeah, I think FJM conflicting with Ween is a foregone conclusion. I'm just hoping that isn't the case with Cymande and Lettuce.
In 2007 ween had a 2 hour 15 minute sunset tent set (!!!). I'm deluding myself but I'm hoping the lack of Sunday bands means ween can get something like that again. At least more than an hour. I would be the happiest of boys.
Switch Kurt Vile with Saint Motel and this would be a fine schedule for me. I love the idea of being able to stay in one tent all Thursday evening, in which it would be This for me.

It actually kind f makes sense to note Tame as playing late night if they're playing after LCD on the What because then the festival can still definitively call LCD the headliner despite them not closing the stage.
Thurs: Roman GianArthur > Con Brio > Bully > Twin Peaks > Hundred Waters > Vulfpeck > Papadosio Fri: Shamir > Kamasi Washington > Dungen > Halsey > J. Cole > LCD Soundsystem > Tame Impala > Blood Orange Sat: Steve Gunn > Chicano Batman > Grace Potter > Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats > Judah & the Lion > The Claypool Lennon Delirium > Pearl Jam > Superjam Sun: Charles Bradley & his Extraordinaires > Givers > Kurt Vile & the Violators > Cymande > Lettuce > Dead & Co.
Someone make this the schedule. Finally a schedule that accommodates my preferences that isn't my mock haha. Although Charles Bradley played that exact set time last time he was at Roo.
Music Midtown: 2011 Bonnaroo: 2012 - 2016 Forecastle: 2013 Rock al Parque: 2014 420 Fest: 2014-2018 Shaky Knees: 2015 - 2019, 2021 Seen tons of local shows since 2004.
I don't see anything overtly illogical with your schedule, this is just my opinion:
Thursday: I think Thursday will have conflicts for me no matter what. Bully/Con Brio is tough, Twin Peaks/London Souls is tough, Vulfpeck/The Floozies is real tough. Love Papadosio closing a tent, and while its possible, their placement on the lineup makes me think they won't close a tent.
Friday: The two hour gap between Vince Staples and Chvrches leaves me with not a lot to do during that time. Probably a Comedy/Cinema tent/dinner slot. The key to this day is making it so LCD/Tame/Bob Moses are all catchable. Of course I am pro Tame on the What but if I had to bet I still think Roo puts them on Which.
Saturday: Nice job with the weakest day of the festival. I like that I can catch all of Claypool/Lennon and a nice chunk of the end of Lamb of God, just to get a thrash fix. Counting on an epic Pearl Jam show. Keeping my expectations low for the Superjam. Would be fine with catching RL Grime instead.
Sunday: Loving the epic run of What stage artists. I'd be at the What all day, bouncing into the tent areas during breaks to catch bits of other acts. Hate that I'd miss Cymande but Ween is a must-see. Also am pro Ween on the What, but right now Death Cab has 4893 adds as opposed to Ween's 1673. But in terms of similar fanbase it still makes more sense to have Ween > Dead rather than Death Cab > Dead.
anyway cool mock, thanks for sharing it, made me think.
Bonnaroo '15/'16/'17/'18/'19 - ACL '13/'14/'15/'17/'18 - Fun Fun Fun '14 - SXSW '13/'14/'15 - FPSF '16
2019 Shows: 4/30 - Vampire Weekend 6/28 - Father John Misty & Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit 9/6 - Cardi B w/ Teyana Taylor 9/28 - Vulfpeck w/ The Fearless Flyers
flux capacitor was on the cafe adds, so I don't think they will be in a tent.
They were on the initial lineup too, could be pulling double-duty.
could be, but I highly doubt it. it adds nothing to list them as a cafe act if they are also playing this/that/the other. the only reason to announce them as a cafe act is if they are only a cafe act, imo. I think they just bungled it when they included them on the initial lineup, and so then had them on the cafe list because that is really what they are. They are a pretty small band.
goo.gl/1MiOqE I assumed Charles bradley would be on Sunday, because that is the most sparse day.
also, here is a spreadsheet with the bands in order of billing on their day, and the number of "likes" on bonnaroo.com
top 5 liked bands:
1. pearl jam (5771) 2. ellie goulding (5054) 3. tame impala (4960) 4. death cab for cutie (4903) 5. J.cole (4824)
note: Tyler the creator(4165) and third eye blind (4083) have a shiz ton of likes for their relative placement. third eye blind is 3rd most popular on sunday (by a lot) and billed 10th. Tyler is billed 5th most popular on Friday and billed 13th.
also, it seems like there were more cafe acts last year.
Aside from Allen Stone/Ibeyi/Kamasi Washington, that would literally be the perfect Friday for me: Ibeyi/Kamasi -> Shamir -> Tyler, the Creator -> FIDLAR -> Vince Staples -> M83 -> LCD -> Tame Impala. And I'd go wild and then have a lot of chill time Saturday: do Chicano Batman -> Natalie Prass and then chill at camp until Grace Potter and post up there for Claypool/Lennon and then Pearl Jam -> Big Grams -> Superjam. And Sunday I'd just chill in the What field all day except for Lettuce and FJM
Th: Con Brio > Vulfpeck > Papadosio > Bully > Cashmere > Floozies. not bad, probably not going to get much of a spot for the last two though.
F: Andra Day > Kamasi > half-set of Shamir > one or two Dungen songs > end of CHVRCHES > Misterwives(or camp trip) > Leon Bridges > Lucius > LCD pit > Tame. Fun! Having Halsey go on before CHVRCHES would be a nice bonus, though
Sa: half-set Whilk > half-set Knocks > maybe catch a song each of Rateliff and Judah > half-set of Prass > half-set of Gunn > catch a Stapleton tune or two > 2-door > couple Mack tunes > Grace > Claypool > PJ > Superjam. No matter what im running all day and counting on a solid Superjam. good as any.
Su: Kurt Vile > half-set of Lettuce > Ween > half-set of Misty > half-set of Cymande > half-set of Charles Bradley > bluegrass jam > Dead. Nice, 1st time I've managed to slip the bluegrass jam in there. It's not perfect but I get to see at least some of everything i really want for the day.
Good stuff overall. Thursday isnt as streamlined as I'd like but Friday and Sunday are solid for me.
Updated my mock with Charles Bradley and cafe adds. Yes, I still have a handful of TBDs...
Nice job! I feel like there are a lot of big acts at early times on the stages. Especially Saturday. I'd expect at least one of Grace, TDCC, BoH, or Chris Stapleton to close a tent. Conversely, I think both Charles Bradley and FJM will be on stages.
Fri: beginning of Rayland Baxter > Ibeyi > Dungen > Kamasi Washington > Public Access T.V. > FIDLAR > Lucius > pit line > LCD > Tame Impala > Bob Moses
Sat: Steve Gunn/Natalie Prass > Anderson East > Beach Fossils/Chris Stapleton > Band of Horses > Haim > Claypool-Lennon Delirium > Pearl Jam > Superjam/Miguel
Sun: Sun Club > The Oh Hellos > Cymande > Jason Isbell > Kurt Vile/Charles Bradley > Father John Misty > Dead & Co.

TDCC is one of the most liked acts on their day. BoH closed which Sunday in 09. I don't see them in a tent. Grace and the nocturnals played what last time. I know she's solo, but I'd bet she's at least on which.
