My guess would be Kanye wants to treat his audience to fresh, newer sounds. "The sounds of tomorrow", if you will. Now there's a catch to that. There is also an audience ahead of the curve actively seeking out new sounds on their own, long before an act like Kanye exposes them to it. Personally, new music inspires me to try new things in my own songwriting. It also evokes a feeling like never before which is why these kinds of acts can be such a benefit to mainstream artists. Underground music exists and normally transitions into something bigger. Electronic music is going through it's own renaissance at the moment which is why I find myself navigating through it all more than ever.
I got to "The sounds of tomorrow" and stopped reading. I dont care.
You really give off that 'I don't care' vibe, Launchy. Carry on.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
2017 Shows Sam Roberts Band, Wilco, Local Natives, Ryan Adams(!), Chance the Rapper, Future Islands, Frightened Rabbit, TOOL, Field Trip Music Festival, Gary Clark Jr., Arkells w/July Talk, Gorillaz, Tom Petty, Metallica, Muse, Incubus, Lollapalooza (!!!),Kings of Leon, Deep Purple & Alice Cooper, Father John Misty, War on Drugs
I have one or two must-sees per day but other than that I'm mostly just trying to wade through a lot of the names I'm not familiar with that are playing in the afternoon or early evening.
Su: Duckwrth > Wax Motif > Car Seat Headrest > Rag'n'Bone Man > 😓 > Sampha > Sofi Tukker > Arcade Fire
Advice/refinements? Am I missing anyone essential?
Assuming 😓 is an undecided time period I'd suggest seeing A-trak on Thursday. He's arguably the best technical DJ at the festival and should put on an impressive show.

I'll look into him! Thanks for the tip. Only place I'd heard of him was a Phantogram feature I didn't really dig. Where should I start?

He's the cofounder of Fool's Gold records, so that should give a good idea of the type of stuff he's into. Lots of hip hop (although I actually haven't seen him in years so maybe he's doing things different)

Gonna throw my schedule on here as well because why not. I'm skipping Muse and Chance since I'll be seeing them this summer in Toronto anyways.
Thursday: Declan McKenna > Hippo Campus > Temples > ??? (The Drums maybe?) > Liam Gallagher/CRX > Cage The Elephant > Spoon > Lorde Friday: The Frights > Slothrust > The Lemon Twigs > ??? > Kaleo > Ryan Adams > Foster the People > Whitney > Blink-182 Saturday: The Shelters > Ron Gallo > 888 > Glass Animals > Royal Blood > alt-J > The Head and the Heart > Mac Demarco Sunday: Blaenavon > The Walters > Joseph > Car Seat Headrest > Rag'n'Bone Man > Milky Chance > ??? Sampha or The Shins?? > Clone myself > Arcade Fire/Justice
No major conflicts for me except AF and Justice. AF I've seen twice before but they are one of my favourite bands. Never seen Justice.

Feel free to recommend bands in the ??? slots.
Cloud Nothings in the Friday slot should be a pretty good show

I have a chance to see them in a couple weeks so if I dig their show then I'll definitely give them a second go at Lolla.

I've currently got an airbnb in Oak Park for the fest. Anyone know how that train ride will be/how big of a pain getting back each night is?
I live in oak park and have taken to the green line in before. Super easy ride. Station in the city is a short walk the grant park. The train station is a complete and total clusterfuck at 10 pm when things shut down.
