Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Tame Impala -Billie Eilish Zedd -Kid Cudi -Tyler Childers -Maggie Rogers Of Monsters and Men -Big Gigantic -Pusha T -Mastodon
Lana Del Rey -Frank Ocean My Morning Jacket -Lizzo -Rezz -The Flaming Lips -Fleet Foxes Animal Collective -Young the Giant -Vince Staples -Tycho
The Rolling Stones Vampire Weekend -Chris Stapleton -ASAP Rocky -Above and Beyond Built to Spill -Angel Olsen -Mura Masa -Danny Brown -Carly Rae Jepsen
If Bonnaroo books The Rolling Stones it won’t be a Sunday show. The lineup would also take a big hit, ‘cause they don’t come cheap. Hell, I think it was Jazzfest who had them booked earlier this year and that would’ve been the first North American festival fer them to play in over 35 years.

Why not Sunday
I get that Sunday has kinda become the jam/classic rock HL spot. But you’re talkin’ The Rolling Stones. Still one of the biggest bands to play shows. And again, they haven’t done a US festival since ‘69 (looks like Altamont was it). It would be a bid deal. And I don’t imagine they or their management would wanna play as the closer to the fest.
Could I be totally wrong? Abso-fuckin’-lutely. Do I know what’s popular enough to HL any day? Not really! Case in point, see below:
Do we want to start the "are The Strokes a headliner" argument again?
Nope. Not again. And I don’t care what anybody tells me, or valid data they could present to establish such a point. The Strokes should never headline Bonnaroo. They had a wildly popular album back in the early 2000s, but I’ve never heard another song of theirs on the radio.

To be fair, they're not playing Friday or Saturday either
Julian Casablancas mumbling douchery to a crowd of people “radiating positivity” on rural farmland would go over like a lead balloon. I’d love it, but there really aren’t much worse fits of band and festival. Them unopposed would be pretty cringe.

The strokes are one of the few bands that seeing them live made me like them significantly less.
With my chances of bein’ able to attend next summer up in the air currently with school, I say go ahead and book The Strokes as headliners in 2020. It would make it that much easier fer me to just do more summer classes and miss a second ‘Roo since my attendance began. It’d be below the wanted attendance. Come fight me.

They do feel distant enough from relevancy and booking power that idk why they would for sure headline, actually. They probably just wouldn't be booked at all, because their egos wouldn't accept a non-headliner slot.
What is their draw? Do people care about the Strokes now?

I’m a staunch Strokes defender but I think they’re only gonna headline small fests, fests with conflicting HLs or Gov Ball. Outside of that they could do like 4-6k capacity venues.

They’re in virtually the same space Arctic Monkeys was in last year. Maybe with a hit album they get a boost, but how likely is it that in 2020?

AM could at least coast off of AM last year and would’ve made sense as a 4. But the last relevant Strokes song was at the latest 2006 right?
Under Cover of Darkness got some radio play when Angles came out but it’s far from a hit.
I said this last year when we had the same debate: they’ve gotten this weird cache since then as a throwback band. They weren’t even in the first ten names on the Roo lineup when they played in 2011, but they headlined Lolla in 2019. They’re hard to gauge.
