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!!
Letting it sink in, a lot of this reminds me of the 2013 lineup. It's nowhere near as good, but it seems as if it is random and all over the place in the same vein it was.
The big problem I had with the lineups in 2017 and 2018 is that they seemed so vanilla, like you could have put different graphics on that same lineup and it could have been any other major festival. The thing that makes it a Bonnaroo lineup are all the out of left field bookings and the mixing of different genres and eras and such. 2012 to 2015 did that, and now 2019 and 2022 are back to doing that.
It really isn’t bad. Not sure I’ll be going this year and the black eyes up top make it a lot easier to say that but there’s some really good stuff on there. WAY worse than the last two cancelled versions though
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
14 acts I would see on this line up. Tickets starting out at $320 plus $70 for camping (still BS this isn’t included in GA cost), not to mention fees. Let’s say min $400 purchase. At $28.57 a band (also worth mentioning they no longer have the comedy or cinema tents) this is a poor value for a festival, let alone what Bonnaroo used to be up until 2016.

Copy/pasting my list of good acts from last night I’m the headliner thread
This lineup is fucking good.
Thursday: Clozee, Sons of Kemet, Indigo De Souza, Adam Melchor, The Weather Station, The Dip, Nothing
Friday: Robert Plant, Disclosure, Lord Huron, The War on Drugs, King Gizz, Goose:Bleachers, Isaiah Rashad, Lane 8, Denzel Curry, Japanese Breakfast, Tove Lo, Arlo Parks, The Regrettes, Briston Maroney, Claud
Sunday: Stevie Nicks, Nathaniel Rateliff, Herbie Hancock, Rezz, Puscifer, Wallows, Tash Sultana, Zach Bryan, All Them Witches, Tinashe, Tierra Whack, Lettuce, Dombresky, Bas
I would def check out some of the top line stuff like J Cole, The Chicks, MGK, and Roddy Rich but not be particularly excited for it in advance. MGK’s pop punk album was good imo

I would like to go to this but thinking on it I’ve seen most of the acts I like, and with my son being only 6.5 months by the time Roo rolls around we aren’t sure if he’ll be ready to be left with grandma for a week
So gonna wait and see what ACL and Lolla and other later summer/early fall fests have in store for us

1pm today to my dad "and on my 32nd birthday the festival gods gave me to Robert Plant, Stevie Nicks and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong" and he goes "so when are we going?" I think I've got my dad seriously interested, does anybody have any suggestions on who I should check out to get the old man ready?

i like this lineup but as a hip hop fan this is pretty bad. i'm really looking forward to tierra whack and want to see denzel curry and 21 savage if there aren't conflicts. no interest in roddy ricch, j cole, $uicideboy$, or ludacris. from the last couple of lineups i was wanting to see young thug, run the jewels, megan, tyler, and j.i.d.
Letting it sink in, a lot of this reminds me of the 2013 lineup. It's nowhere near as good, but it seems as if it is random and all over the place in the same vein it was.

Just sell the bus so you don’t have to do the mental gymnastics trying to convince yourself this is a good lineup.

Tickets will be on stubhub for $200 or less come May.

I genuinely do think it’s slightly above average for how Bonnaroo has looked for the last ten years. Friday and Saturday will be extremely hectic for how much I personally want to see.

You honestly believe this is an above average lineup? That’s an incredible take to have…
How bad would it have to be to be below average for you? Do you not go to any other fests or shows? There’s literally nothing unique in this entire lineup, which is strange for Roo.
