Ok so it looks like Shannon and the Clams is getting added to play in the Toyota Music Den seeing as that's who was interviewing them in their Instagram video and Bonnaroo just mentioned it in that waste of an email.

I work in communications in my day job, and it would be so cool to manage communications for a music festival. Because the last two years of Bonnaroo communications have been painful, and they desperately need new life.
But, it doesn't seem like a very stable place to work.

Gotta imagine with low sales, the continued buildout of the campgrounds stages, and whatever the hell the Toyota Music Den ends up being, that some of these shows are just going to be empty.

They haven't really had a true full time person to do it since Ben left right before the pandemic hit. He was the absolute best, he'd monitor the feeds and joke around with fans with whatever meme was popular at the time and such. But ever since then, with the exception of the Virtual Roo thing they did in late 2020, it's only been part time for various people. I think it's going to start feeling different in the next week or so though.
About ATW I've seen they canceled Summer Festival Appearances, I've seen that only applies to July and August...anybody really know?
here's what i was going off of.
they posted this photo so i assumed that bonnaroo was cancelled based on the wording:
but their tour dates look like this:
. bonnaroo's still on their website so going off of that i believe they're still in and weren't one of the cancelled summer festival dates even though they said they're pulling from summer festival appearances

If ticket sales are sub 50k then the campground sets could be very empty. The centeroo shows were empty in 2016 and that was without having anything in the campgrounds.
this mentions a Founder's Brewing Beer Garden. Haven't seen anything about the Broo'ers Tent this year. Wonder if that has gone away? Hopefully not, that was a great shady spot to meet up and grab a cold one.
Corona Beach House is an interesting add. It was at both Breakaway Ohio & Spring Awakening in Chicago. It's a cool stage they bring in a bunch of sand for it. But both those fests had legitimate smaller Dj's performing there. I wonder if there will be some secret sets.

found it. no line up, but apparently it's back. that website is atrocious. many pages don't have links, you have to get to the via google search. like, if you want people to buy tickets to your festival, why do you hide stuff like the "activities" page. couldn't find a link to it anywhere on there.

Based on the 2021 map, I was also worried it might be going away. They have something called The Who’s Broos Pub marked, but it looked scaled back if the graphic is representative of the actual tent/area.
Also it continues to blow my mind that they don’t have, at least, a single full-time staffer on communications (just the basics—social, email, website, which is already a lot to manage). Even in the off-season, the community engagement that provides is so critical to brand awareness and reputation. LiveNation can afford it, but I’m guessing it’s got to do with all the corporate layers/C3’s involvement across multiple fests that must be holding them back.
Social media can be a fun thing to do, but it's often really exhausting. My wife and I have both done it in various different jobs in the past. I don't anymore, and I don't miss it that much. Especially in the current age. There's just so much toxic negativity, bots, trolls, etc. Back in the late 2000's when Facebook and Twitter was relatively new, it was a lot of fun. But these days, stuff like that is where the worst in people tends to rise to the top.

I can't stand to read the comments on festivals social media, its so sad..my best friend and I always say festivals/events social media is nothing like the vibe of the actual event.
