Rate The 2017 Bonnaroo Lineup

In the context of what else is out there, I give it a 6/10.  That's 60%, which is a solid D - Not Good.  Take U2 off and it drops to 4 which I view as worse than an F, it is more like a "did not complete".

I'm curious how long he's be going that he's so invested in this festival. After 7 years of roo being my favorite thing, yeah I'm disappointed, but he's straight overboard. Can't imagine how someone that's been going since the mid 2000 feels

6 initially. Maybe 7 after looking into the names I don't know yet.

six

I gave it a 4/10. I wanted to give it a higher score but just couldn't bring myself to it once I looked at the lineup again.

When I first got on Inforoo I never thought I would get all jaded like you guys on here but boy did this lineup do it to me big time, wooooooooohooooo who cant wait for some Marshmello and Major Lazer 

I gave it a 5. U2 is probably tied with Beyonce for the biggest festival "get" of 2017 this far. A full run of Joshua Tree will be great. That puts me around a 3.

Lorde is someone I would probably never see alone but have heard enough good about to be curious for at Roo. Same for The Weeknd. Not my thing on tape, but people I trust says he brings it live, so those two are another 1.

The final 1 is for the BGS tent. Less "name" bookings this year, but Margo Price is a breakout artist and everyone else in that tent has enough collaborative chops to make for a fun superjam Sunday.

So, right in the middle for me. One strong legacy or metal act would add another point, as would a strong Superjam theme. But considering how they buried Superjam on the poster, I'm not holding my breath. At this point my best case scenario is they let Umphrey's curate a Zonkey set with some guest vocalists. I have no idea who else could host and make it work.

An initial 3, acknowledging that looking into acts I don't know would raise it to 4, and then the schedule would drop it back down to 3.

I'm holding off on voting right now, but I'm thinking somewhere in between 6-7, and the score will be influenced by the fest getting U2, which is an enormous booking. Plus, acts like Chance, PtM, The XX and even Lorde are high on my personal preference list.
That said/written, I wholely understand people who are disappointed. Where you used to be able to count on some interesting, singular bookings, 'roo seems to have abandoned that strategy the last two years in favor of adding more EDM - and not necessarily innovative EDM - and pop'ish acts.
Maybe it's the competition from other fests. Maybe it's LN's influence. Whatever the case, it is a drastic change.

I gave it a 5 for 50-50. I like 30 performers a lot. No interest in about 30. The rest somewhere in between.

And, no comedy? Doesn't that usually come on the initial lineup? Or have they started waiting until later to announce those?

30 I will see. Probably another 30 that will be a few songs here and there depending on schedule and crowd. We need to meet up roofoot.

3 points for U2 and like five decent/unique undercard acts.

Voted 4, mainly because of U2.

I just read the interviews on Consequence of Sound and Billboard, and the organizers are talking out of their ass. No curation whatsoever, clearly dictated by streaming counts. Are people there even going to care about RHCP and U2? Why see U2 there when you can see them in stadiums across the country, which will undoubtedly have better crowds?
