The Post-Cancellation Bonnaroo Shows Thread

damn that was fast!

I've raved about it before but I love the Alpharetta amphitheater. It's sterile and corporate but there isn't a bad seat in the house and it's easy to move around.

Pro tip: they have special areas you can stand in the aisle between the box seats. They mark them with tape. One person deep. So if you have lawns and want to get closer you can stand there. But if you leave the taped area they'll get on to you.

But imo the best seats in the house are front row center lawn. Great view great sound. You have to go into the venue as soon as it opens to snag those seats.

I wont be there, but you're all welcome to come see Flogging Molly with Violent Femmes here in beautiful Indianapolis

Anyone ever camp at Stone Mountain park? Gonna call in the AM to see if there’s any spaces available. Will snag mmj if so

Muddy Roots

The time I was almost arrested at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival and ended up on WSMV News 4, Nashville. by Jason the Muddy Roots Promoter.

The first time 2 times I went to Bonnaroo they opened miles of their walls for folks to paint whatever they wanted. I went and painted weird personal art as I had gone with a group of sober folks and was on a personal journey. The second, I put up a ton of Muddy Roots pieces and images of musicians that play our festival.

The third time I went was a few years after. I bounced around all day to find bands I had never heard of, visit some we knew from our own events, and of course see some of the larger acts. I figured I'd wake up early the next morn and paint some walls in Centeroo for the crowds to see as they came in for performances later that day. I loaded up by duffle bag with spray paint and strolled right in. There were volunteers and staff marching around, doing their thang. I s'pose the look of "It's okay for me to be here," on my face made it so no one would stop me.

Well apparently, the rules had changed and WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO PAINT THE WALLS. hahhahahaha. A security guard ran up to me halfway through and was radioing in for backup. He asked me what I was doing, with a sternness. I didn't know I was breaking the rules and obviously didn't run away. I calmly told him why I was painting. He could tell I was not being malicious and let me finish. I tweeted about it and found out the local news channel had broadcasted my pic from the wall. That made me nervous about any post-fest retribution.

Fast forward to 2021 to see Bonnarroo has canceled their event due to flooding. Our event is about an hour North, on the Upper Cumberland plateau and was not affected by the storms. We're inviting a small handful of their crowd up to see what our festival is all about. (Like a few dozen) Muddy Roots Gospel has ALWAYS been about reaching in to other scenes to find the fringe. Let's show them how we do in the field!

We'll see you when the sun comes out on Thursday!

fwiw I won't be adding non-Bonnaroo artist shows to the OP. I'll keep my on Do615 all day though to see if anything gets added to Nashville, and of course notify me if any other Atlanta/Asheville/Chattanooga/Knoxville etc. shows get added.

The Band Camino announced they’re doing a show Sunday night at Basement East. First band on the bill I’ve seen do an “official” booking at a venue in Nashville

There’s this one.

Driving right now, please keep posting show notices in the thread.
