if these are gonna be our 21st round picks (as in they're cool and seems to being picked shockingly early), I'm curious to see what's left in round 35.
I still don’t understand this idea that we have to book trash to be rEaLiStIc.
You don't have to book trash, or absolute trash, but if your Other Stage is going to be electronic filled - there is a bottom out point. Where even as you research it, you are trying to find both what would actually bring an audience and what fills your musical needs. By the time we get to trying to fill up your Other Stage (let's say... 9 total matter over the 4 days), the well of good/great DJ's will be dry. I also imagine round 35-40 being filled with just people stacking the Other Stage which is going to be a mess. (a fun mess)
I still don’t understand this idea that we have to book trash to be rEaLiStIc.
When this whole thing was being planned I was like “so I’d we’re making it realistic, we have to draft shitty acts?” And people were like “haha no you idiot, draft good acts just make try and make them acts that could conceivably play” but now it’s “if you don’t stack your lineup with shitty wook EDM you’re gonna lose” so

I remember, bc I agreed with you.
But at the same time, people tearing apart picks and claiming they're not realistic is the extreme flip side of this. And I can't tell if people set out to pick shitty music up front, or if it's turned into that because people have complained so much about realism this whole time. But I don't know how the idea of realism and good music being mutually exclusive has turned into the "Bonnaroo formula."

No one's saying you have to book shitty music. However it wouldn't look like Bonnaroo without at least filling that genre. There are still tiers to even the shitty acts and you have to decide if you go for the best of the cheese early or slog through the mud later
