Bonnaroo Simulation Team Draft

I feel like this writer listens to the pod.

Happy to make one of these lists! We've got our schedule coming soon.

Thanks. I believe ours is just as realistic as any of the others.

I have a clear #1 in mind and other top tiers. Mostly gonna go roll with it first round and might edit it if I change my mind or hear some good points on realism.

You sir are a trailblazer

I'll state at the top. I don't feel like most of these are Bonnaroos, but I can find stuff I like on all of them. Just putting it there, so I don't keep repeating it in my comments.

tЯist♡n and Whereispassionpit

Thur. I know nothing but Wand. That's probably realistic. Except they probably wouldn't play on Thur.

Fri. Tinariwen> Lucy Dacus> Violent Femmes> Low (I don't think Ray is big enough for that spot)> Brittany Howard> Devo> Spiritualized> Rihanna> Anthrax> Superjam> Charli> Fuzz

Sat. Lady Lamb> Kevin Morby> Caroline Polachek> Tyler Childers> ELO> Kim Gordon> Ham sandwich> Superjam

Sun. Helado Negro> The Wailers> Tanya Tucker shouldn't be in a tent> JEW> Fleet Foxes (I think that actually happened at SK)> Pharrell> Jorja Smith> Realistic with me skipping the Sun. headliner

I don't think I'd buy tickets for this one. There's nothing big drawing me there other than Rihanna. You have to remember, we quit going after 16 and were planning to go back this year. It would take a lot to get us to go back.


Delicious Meatball Sub and Larry Farnsworth

No schedule? I enjoy this lineup, probably one of the best other than our own.


Jeremy Fragrance and Teddy Flair

Thur. I don't really know anything here. I've heard that Knocked Loose is probably something I would like?

Fri. LP> Silversun Pickups> Two Door Cinema Club> Foals> Vampire Weekend> Mogwai> fighting my way back to where my wife is for her fav band Foos> Chemical Brothers (this is a really good day)

Sat. White Reaper> Quelle Chris> ETID> Franz Ferdinand> Cat Empire> Gogol Bordello> Beyonce> Daughters playing roo is hilarous, we almost drafted them> Rob Zombie is way too big for a tent

Sun. Haley Heynderickx> GBV> Courtney Marie Andrews> Punch Brothers> Weird Al> SZA> King Crimson> Stevie (great Sun.)

I'd definitely go to this fest and it's actually like a Bonnaroo.


trantsgiving and Cookin' Mama

Wed. Larkin Poe> Opry> Barrie> Sleaford Mods> Rocky Horror (best Thur. so far)

Thur. Chon> WWPJ> Parcels> Lily Allen> serpentwithfeet> Deftones> Pixies great, but neither of those are in a tent lol > Ariana> Oysterhead, sucks to miss Big Boi

Fri. TWISBP> US Girls> Tennis> Damian Marley> Foxing> Lukas Nelson> Loretta Lynn> DCFC> The Internet> Ham sandwich> Robyn>

Sat. Mdou Moctar> Pinegrove> Michael Kiwanuka> Hayley Williams> Highwomen> Lianne La Havs> Lana> McCartney (really like this day)


cdevaney and Vieux

Thur. Opry> Andy Frasco> 99 Neighbors (sticking with the theme I don't know much on Thur.)

Fri. Cody Jinks is way bigger than a tent opener> Vagabon> Hurray For The Riff Raff> I'm With Her but this time slot is a brutal conflict> YYY> MIA> NIN> M83> would try to see some of Duran Duran and PE but another brutal conflict and as I've said not a realistic spot for Duran Duran> Cypress Hill

Sat. Speedy Ortiz> Pharcyde> Isbell> Snoop> The National> Depeche Mode> Massive Attack> end of Hall And Oates and Chromeo (so this looks amazing but it's not realistic at all. I've been saying the whole time your lineup is too good/too big to be like Bonnaroo)

Sun. Anna Von Hausswolff> King Dude pretty sure this opening 2 bands is stolen right off of one of my lineups> Black Midi> Diiv> Willie> Gojira> Janelle> Black Crowes> Jack White (good day not as unrealistic as the rest)


@radiatebased and Jake Jortles

Thur. Lingua Ignato is so weird at Bonnaroo> Liturgy same> Turnstile> Animals As Leaders (although I don't think this is a realistic Thur. it's one that I would enjoy)

Fri. Screaming Females> Pussy Riot> First Aid Kit> Laura Marling> Mitski no one challenged this?, the whole first part of this day looks like one of my fests> Zombies> American Football> John McLaughlin> Dolly> Electric Wizard> SOAD> Death Grips (shit got weird there, again something I'd really enjoy but struggling with seeing it as Bonnaroo lineup)

Sat. Uncle Acid> Rapsody> Hinds> Brandi> Weyes Blood> Plant> tough choice between MJB and Joanna idk?> Frank> Aphex Twin but I'd have to go see them play Don't Fear The Reaper> Avalanches

Sun. Jean Grae> EPMD to an empty What, same reason I skipped Kane the day before> The War & Treaty> Moon Taxi> David Crosby> Bela> Spoon> Modest Mouse> Sam Bush> Chappelle> Neil (most believable day)


gocatsnu and Dan808

Thur. Drugdealer just because of their name> Caamp> Opry> Faye Webster> Tank & the Bangas> some Twiddle till I get bored (this looks like a real Thur.)

Fri. Snail Mail on an empty What> Alvvays you should probably switch those 2> Chaka> 3 6> CHIC, why you do my girl SVE like that?> Earl> St. Vincent> Bon Iver> Madonna> Kaytranada (again looking pretty realistic and solid)

Sat. Japandroids> Dirty Projectors> St. Paul> Phoenix> Blondie> Anderson Paak> Grimes> I was about to call this one of my favorites and wondering how I totally didn't notice your lineup during this whole process and then I got to The Weekend where I would have a Ham sandwich> Tedeschi Trucks

Sun. Anna Calvi> Yola> Tegan & Sara> Sheryl Crow> Gary Clark Jr.> Courtney Barnett> David Byrne> sorry Lauryn I'm not standing there waiting on you when I can be waiting on David Gilmour (this schedule is probably the most realistic so far. It's not anything special other than somehow convincing Gilmour to play this, but it's solid)

@kanye and Julie

Thur. Opry> Muppets> Phony ppl because @gno had them on our lineup for a long time but I don't know them> Boy Harsher? Perpetal Groove the first band I ever saw at roo

Fri. Mild High Club on an empty What> ? > Jlin hey you may be the first that got me to goto The Other?> Noel Gallagher> Princess> Thievery Corporation> D'Angelo> Herbie> Kendrick, I really like that run> Madlib isn't realistic at all is it?> Four Tet

Sat. Preoccupations on an empty What> ?> Bloc Party> Royal Blood> FJM> Manchester Orchestra> The Chicks> CSH> Kacey, no problems with her headlining> Earthgang> MBV in a fucking tent lol

Sun. Julia Holter> John Maus> Sun Ra Arkestra> Crumb> Mac> PTM> Roger Waters (to me this is very good fest that's just not Bonnaroo. It's very small until you get to Waters on Sun. I guess you gave him all the money? Who are all the older Waters fans going to see at this fest?


Dad Dog and Cap'n Mac

I know your lineup is really good and we kept trying to take acts from it. So I wanna see your poster and schedule.


KPO and actually @fortyfive33 now

Sat. The Dirty Nil> The Hotelier> Wolf Alice too big to be on Thur or if the first day of your first is Sat..> The Districts

Sun. Alex Lahey on an empty What> why did San Fermin only get 30 min.?> ???> White Reaper> ??> Janet, wtf is Janet doing here?> Wilco> LCD> PJHB on an empty which late night?

Mon. Pup on an empty Which> Dan Deacon on an empty What, this festival is weird as fuck> ? > Washed Out on an empty What> Clairo> ??> Flaming Lips> ... fuck it I'm not going to this fest

Sat. Hiss Golden Messenger> Charly Bliss> Hundred Waters> Julien Baker> probably not worth it go over for BOH> Sleater-Kinney> NERD> Beck> Temples> Lorde> MMJ (I like a lot of this but something feels off a little bit?)

Sun. Cass McCombs and Kurt Vile shouldn't be conflicting> Alison Krauss> Dickey Betts is he able to play anymore?> Migeul> Steely Fucking Dan> Grace Jones> Bruce until I get bored

sang_xcx @gno I just looked up Julia Nunes on your lineup and had a total mindfuck because I recognized her immediately from real life (friend of a friend) and had no idea she was a successful musician lol

I’ll do that tonight. Got slammed with work last night

@gno discovered that he went to high school with one of the members of Our Native Daughters. He didn't even know she was in the band until he searched for a photo to use.

I met her the year where she played This and sat in with Weezer. She's from Rochester, not far from here, but I found her on YouTube. She used to have a lot of ukulele covers there. (Not sure if she still does.)

just post it already lol

Making people choose between Marquee Moon and the first 20 minutes of Nick Lowe seems unnecessarily cruel to Nick Lowe.

hud mo seems high on that day
