The kind of people who are disappointed with U2 as a headliner are the kind of people who are ruining Roo. This is groundbreaking music, and Rolling Stones listed Joshua Tree as number 27 on their 500 GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME (which U2 is doing a celebratory Joshua Tree tour). It is also in the Library of Congress on the grounds of being "culturally and historically significant".
Bonnarroo is not just about the music, it's about unity also and so many other great things, the music is just a small piece of the puzzle of Bonnaroo.
Looking forward to singing "One" with everyone on the night of U2's set.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Goldfish, CAM, Stick figure are awesome. Never herd of em until 10 hours ago. Now I wanna see them. I think that's how this always worked. Has anyone's heartstrings been ripped out by Michael Kiwanuka yet?
Michael Kiwanuka has two great albums to his name. Top 10 set to see for me as of now. Just hope he is in a tent so the sun doesn't ruin the set.

I will admit this: I originally was convinced to go to bonnaroo because of the many stories of experiences I was told of by friends. Only a small minority had to do with a particular performance and whatnot. And my first year that's what put roo number 1 on my festival list, how unique it was with the late nights, overall atmosphere, and layout. Impacted by the lineup but not necessary. Now I care so much about the lineup during release, which is totally valid, but every year I come back and tell stories about so much more than just that, and with the same friends and a better lineup, I wasn't able to do that at Coachella last years. It seemed dull in compairison. Maybe it's a self fulfilled prophecy or something but I have to give credit to that. Just wanted to air these thoughts and see if anyone related. It begs the question, what originally formulated these experiences, the bands who came, the fans of the band, the fans of the festival, the people I went with?

I was getting tired of these, but this one gave me a good laugh. The phrasing is priceless, as if it was the band The Rolling Stones and not Rolling Stone the magazine that came up with the ranking.

I like "celebratory Joshua Tree tour". Like Bono is running around the track waving a pint of Guinness and the Irish flag.

This is like those people that quote pitchfork, but the pop edition. Can't formulate their own opinion. Probably fills their Facebook with memes other people made, and quotes other people said
That really is my most hated comeback to statements about not liking a lineup.
Agreed. Trust me, I am thrilled to learn about new music via acts on a festival lineup. It's awesome listening to bands I've never heard of in the months leading up to a festival. But before I'm going to do homework, a festival lineup has to give me something I already like. Why should I trust the acts in row 11 and below are any good when I am already familiar with and don't care for the acts in lines 1-10?
In 7 years I've never, or anyone else in my group of 6-8 has ever been to any of the world music sets. I guess it was cool to have the diversity, but a lot of time we viewed as a waste of a tent.
lol, all this does is make you look bad and show that you've missed out on some of the best sets, haha
Or that i just don't care about that genre. Same with country and folk, I don't care for it. It's cool you all liked it and had a good time at those sets, it's just not my thing.
The farm is a massive place. You don't have to ever hear edm if you don't want to. Would I have liked to see Jim James and Stevie and Childish on this lineup? Yes, definitely. Do I think Marshmellow is overrated? Yes, definitely. But I'm not shit talking those fans or any of the Marshmellow fans in my crew.

Really? I can hear calliope from everywhere. Especially which and this tent. Or the time bass nectar ruined D'Angelo for me and I walked away to get past it
If roo is going to be diverse with its music, it's going to have to add edm...so everyone flipping out about the edm "crowd" is overreacting. And quite honestly being pretty judgy - which is not the bonnaroovian way.

Middlelands = Bonnaroo without the headliners. I'm sad again
Middlelands has Jurassic 5, Bonobo, Danny Brown and Zhu. Hell, Bassnectar is better than every electronic act we have except maybe Flume and Claude VonStroke.

This is a close cousin of:
"I don't like [band X]"
"But have you seen them live????"
"No, I don't waste time seeing live performances of music I don't like"
