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!!
but are we allowed to reverse engineer that, and take an artist that we know in 2021 would likely have a shitty setlist with newer music, and make it actually good?
Well, you can pretty much do whatever as far as that goes, but whether people think it makes sense or is silly/out of the question is another story.
I just feel like we're getting into complete fantasy land there. Then we'll get into subjective arguments about what amount of fantasy is and isn't acceptable. Like I probably couldn't get away with saying Kanye West (performing College Dropout through The Life of Pablo + Ghost Town and I promise he won't get political and he memorized all of his lyrics). But I just don't know where the line is. I look at most of these drafts as if I'm a booking agent and my job is to book the best artists for my festival. But to manipulate setlists and potentially have bands play setlists they've never played before just seems like too much.

fwiw Weezer has played Blue and Pinkerton in full a handful of times the past decade.

that was my thought, it didn't seem particularly unreasonable
Pretty sure someone did Blur/Pink as a thing in one of the infinity drafts and there was a bit of back and forth but together the two are like a 1.5hr set(?) so it's probably technically possible, which is where I think we ended up there.

It's like how maddog has Phish doing 2 shows at his fest and yeah that makes sense but people might dock someone for doing it with another band only because they're big.

I mean as long as we all agree to be reasonable with these setlists....but at the same time you're asking inforoo to be reasonable.
Look, you just can't put the guy who just took a video on him pissing on a grammy on your lineup and expect me to act like it's going to be a smooth set.

No matter how I try to say "it would be fine," this mentality will be inescapable for Kanye, it seems.

It's really weird how we can just buy that Kate Bush and Sonic Youth are just going to play a festival but not Kanye being able to put on a good show. It's much more likely that Kanye puts on a good show than for other acts in this draft to ever play again. Even less in 2021 when these festivals are supposed to take place.

My belief is that we assume every artist really wants to perform (Sonic Youth, etc.) but even if Kanye really wanted to do a good show, I don't think he's mentally stable enough to. We all saw the SC rally right?
As someone who actually saw Kanye perform this year, he still puts on an amazing show. The main difference from his past shows is that the focus of it isn’t himself, it’s all about glorifying Jesus.

I do think I could suspend belief for a watch the throne set. Would feel more nostalgia based so more like something that is from the specific year that it occurred.
