2025 Bonnaroo Headliner Thread

all this Thursday What talk is lacking the glaringly obvious option. i'll give you a hint:

1. she's huge among gen z
2. blowing up in the past year
3. one hit single already and a new album coming out this winter

Shit! How did I miss this one? Do you think Hannah Diddlebee can put together two sets for a Thursday night What performance? I’m skeptical. I think she’s more of a Friday/Saturday headliner.

could be she does one solo set and set two is her + SCI (Diddlebee Incident).

another day they can sell bleacher seats

no Hannah Diddlebee?!? Glaring omission...

Secret WITW Headliner

Yes.

One of my few minor critiques of the current administration of Roo leadership is that they don't seem very prone to try new things like this that otherwise make a lot of sense.

It feels like a lot of the Front of House / Centeroo changes they've made in recent years seem to chase down more activations or things for VIP ticket buyers.  Something that benefits the whole audience like a GA pit for The Other feels like it's way down on the priority list compared to a large unused pit in the tents for the high dollar bourgeoisie.

best case: Earth Wind and Fire & Chicago (they've been touring together but yeah, pipe dream)
Tame Impala
Pearl Jam

worst case: The Lumineers, Ed Sheeran, DMB

New Disturbed tour dates with no TN. Late Night Korn spot?

disturbed is playing arenas on their tour so i’m guessing they’d be in like a 3 slot? maybe even 2 depending on headliners

Korn was a 6 while doing arenas, also Disturbed isn't happening

Disturbed (2 sets) / Excision

System of a Down / Skrillex / Queens of the Stone Age

Dave Matthews Band / Playboi Carti / Disturbed (sunrise set)

Dua Lipa / Glass Animals / Billy Strings
