Well... I used to have a list that looked like yours but i've gotten a little deeper into my searching and i've found several things out.... some may be rumors but i'm almost as possitive (as someone who has nothing to do with the actual schedualing of the festival) that I am correct ** even thought i'm saying FOR SURE... it doesn't mean for sure so chill out in advance =p I just mean the website has the date listed and it seems like the real info..
Friday (For sure) **HEADLINER** Dave Matthews & Friends (w/ Trey and Timmy Renolds) **LATE NIGHT** Vida Blue feat. The Spam Allstars **Before Dave and Friends** Ani Difranco Burning Spear Leftover Salmon Bob Dylan Chris Robinson's New Earth Mud Wilco Los Lonely Boys Gillian Welch
Friday (Says Pollstar and/or Jambase) Jazz Mandolin Project (W/ Jon Fishman) Yonder Mountain String Band Galactic New Monsoon Calexico Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra Neko Case Guster
Saturday (For Sure) **HEADLINER** The Dead (New lineup w/ Warren Haynes) **LATE NIGHT** Ween **Before The Dead** Willie Nelson Sam Bush Band Del McCoury Band Gov't Mule Los Lobos Doc Watson Donovan Frankenreiter My Morning Jacket
Sunday (For Sure) **HEADLINER** Trey Anastasio Band **NO LATE NIGHT** **Before Trey Band** (Rumored) On the Main Stage the order will go... moe >> (dj or break) >> David Byrne >> (dj or break) >> Trey Band **Other Stages/Tents** Medeski Martin and Wood Taj Mahal Trio Soulive Marc Ribot w/ Los Cubanos Postizos The Bad Plus
also... Primus is rumored to be doing a late night set one of the two night...
Remember all i'm just speculating on web site info/ news annoucnement info/and pollstar/jambase info.. so take er' easy on me if i'm way off but I think what I have so far might be what the final sched. will look like..
I'm so afraid that I'm not going to get to see all the bands I want and I'm afraid that I won't be able to see a thing because I'm only 4'11". Looking at these lists, I have to figure out how to spread myself in two maybe three directions on some days!!!!!!
Has anyone heard anything new about Primus? They are pretty much the last of the main acts to say when they might play. I kinda have a feeling they will play Sat night..but the suspence is killing me!

everything could change before bonnaroo. upon arriving last thursday the schedule was changed from the bonnaroo website we printed out before leaving last year. there ended up being music on thursday and most of the djs ended up playing in the arcade tent.
Robert Randolph and the Family Band are playing on Saturday (June 12). An e-mail went out about them opening the Clapton tour, but they said they would be playing at Bonnaroo on the 12th.
i love primus, ive seen them twice in the past year and i own all of their albums, but late night for them, i dont know, other bands could do it better in my opinion. i hope that rumor is wrong.

i am hoping that one of the superjams will be late at night instead of competing with other stages during prime times. saw two yonder mountain shows last week and both days they mentioned playing with willie nelson. speaking of which.. is anyone doing a lot of the late spring tours for the roo bands? we just did our chunk of the yonder mountain tour. umphrey's and addison groove project will be here in a few weeks. some good shit in arizona if you're around.
**--jeff's countdown--**
the big 2-1 - june 1st the big roo - june 8th (when we leave az)

-Mindy Smith's website let some info slip earlier on then they changed it because they knew they gave out some info too soon, but it said..
6/12/04 Tent #1 1:00 - 2:00 Hackensaw Boys 2:30 - 3:30 Mindy Smith 4:00 - 5:30 Robert Earl Keen Jr. 6:00 - 7:30 Jazz Mandolin Project

Sunday The 13th **rumored this will be main stage order** MAIN STAGE 3:00 - 4:30 moe. 5:30 - 7:30 David Byrne 8:30 - 11:30 Trey Anastasio Band ** HEADLINER Other Stages/Tents (all for sure playing on Sunday) Burning Spear (I'm guessing he will play main stage 12:30 - 2:00) Medeski Martin & Wood MOFRO Taj Mahal Trio Soulive Femi Kuti The Bad Plus Marc Broussard Antigone Rising Guster (4:00pm - 5:30pm Tent #1) Maroon5 (6:00pm - 7:30pm Tent #1) Marc Ribot w/ Los Cubanos Postizos (12:30 - 1:30 Tent #2)
yeah... so... you can tell what i've been thinking about lately... Bonnaroo I can't wait!! ;D ;D ;D
Tony Hall is playing with Dave Mathews on Friday..not sure whay Pollstar put him as a solo artist. Also, where are you getting moe on Sunday...there is nothing on this.

Phantasy tour moe's rumors page says they are rumored to be playing main stage before david byrne and trey band. But also check out moe's tour dates on phantasytour.com and you will see they have 6/13 listed as there bonnaroo date...
How accurate is Jambase? They have Marc Ribot on Saturday when they comfirmed on their site they are playing early sunday afternoon in tent 2. Some other artists do not even list when they are playing. Are the a reliable source?
I haven't seen anything about the Black Keys on any of these posts.... has anyone heard anything about them? They're not off the line-up, are they? ??? I saw them at the House of Blues in New Orleans last fall, one of the best shows I've seen in a while. I've really been looking forward to seeing them at roo this year....
That is the hardest thing about the 'Roo. You will have to make some difficult choices all day long, or else run between shows to catch half of one, half of another...
believe it or not, no matter how good the show you choose may be, SOMEBODY will always say, "Oh, you should have seen "X" it was the best show they ever did!" and you will kick yourself.

Found some things out.... check websites if you don't believe me
FRIDAY Gillian Welch (6:00 - 7:30pm (my guess is on Tent #1) Mike Doughty (Soul Coughing) (Tent #4 @ 5:30pm) MOFRO (No longer Sunday)
Saturday Leftover Salmon (Set starts at 12:30am) Praxis (says buckethead website) Addison Groove Project (12:30 - 1:30pm) NO BULLSHIT I SAW MINDY SMITH'S WEB SITE ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO AND IT SAID MINDY PLAYS 2:30 - 3:30 on tent #1 and she is preceded by hackensaw boys and followed by robert earl keen jr. then jazz mandolin project so... it's safe to fill in the times and say.. Tent #1 16. 1:00 - 2:00 Hackensaw Boys 17. 2:30 - 3:30 Mindy Smith 18. 4:00 - 5:30 Robert Earl Keen Jr. 19. 6:00 - 7:30 Jazz Mandolin Project
Sunday Guster (4:00pm - 5:30pm Tent #1) Maroon5 (6:00pm - 7:30pm Tent #1) Marc Ribot w/ Los Cubanos Postizos (12:30 - 1:30 Tent #2) Bill Laswell's Material (for surely playing on sunday is says so on bucketheads web site) **like I said before I wouldn't be suprised if the main stage lineup goes like this for sunday.. 3:00 - 4:30 moe. 5:30 - 7:30 David Byrne 8:30 - 12:00 (or even later) Trey Anastasio Band
take it or leave it I guess.. but I hope when the lineup does come out that people will notice I was mostly correct
also... Jambase and pollstar are sorta of accurate.. but not really, most info I get comes directly from bands web sites..
Just to clarify it looks from their website like Leftover is playing 12:30 PM on Sunday. I thought they were scheduled for late-night (which would be great) but they were not. For me that noon slot has the risk of being the "I wasn't awake for that" set.
If moe. is playing on Sunday like speculated then Friday's main stage would be String Cheese, Dylan, and Dave and friends. Ani would probably be the headliner on the 2nd stage.
If you check out page one of this post, you will see I revamped it a bit. What is Notable is that Super Jam is supposedly playing Sunday and World Leader Pretend is playing Saturday. Saturday looks like it will jamed packed, so plan accordingly.
I've been doing some research on this stuff as well. Based on LI Guy and Mr. Charlie's lists in this thread, Pollstar, Jambase and band's websites and message boards, here's a general idea of how the days may shake out. This is PURE SPECULATION. Mr. Charlie and LI Guy seem to be keeping pretty good track of what info we have that is confirmed or rumored. On my list I count 81 acts altogether. I have 29 listed on Friday, 34 listed on Saturday, and 18 listed on Sunday. Split evenly, there would be 27 acts a day. This suggests that the lists aren't quite right yet but are getting pretty close. It also means there will probably be four music tents in addition to the 2 main stages.
Friday: Main stage lineup: Dirty Dozen Wilco? (could be String Cheese or Ani) Dylan Dave and Friends
2nd stage lineup (just a guess based on the band's billing on the Bonnaroo page/ Bonnaroo history): Chris Robinson and NEM (or Yonder Mountain) North Mississippi Ani (or Wilco or String Cheese) String Cheese (or Ani or Wilco)
Late Night: Umphrey's and Vida Blue
Any way you slice it that's pretty packed. Whoever closes the second stage will be playing opposite Dylan, which would have to be any musician's nightmare. It seems to me like it would be especially cruel to put Ani or Wilco opposite Dylan, but we'll see. In the tents on the same day I would like to check out Nellie McKay, Calexico, Xecutioners (could be a main stage DJ set), Black Keys and Mofro on Friday. Whew!
Saturday: Less is known here but you can still make some guesses.
Main stage: Leftover Salmon (the time is right, could be main or 2nd stage) Galactic? (or Robert Randolph, Los Lobos, or Mule) Willie Nelson Dead
2nd stage: Some combination of Robert Randolph, Los Lobos, Gov't Mule or Galactic. I would guess Mule or Los Lobos would close. This leaves one slot open on this stage. I would guess....Beth Orton or one of the Bluegrass acts. Don't really know.
In the tents there will likely be tons of bluegrass. I'll definitely be checking out Praxis and Rachael Yamagata. This will be kind of chilled out day for me. Noone I would be deeply disappointed to miss, plenty I'm interested in. I'll be resting up for the late-night and the riciculously packed Sunday, sampling whatever catches my fancy.
Late night: Ween and Primus? Late Late night: MMW (check out their tour schedule on their site, there is really no other time they could play.)
Sunday: It looks like I am going to have to go for 20 hours of music in a 24 hour period from the late night Saturday shows through the close of the festival (probably means I'll mostly skip the dead and take it real easy on Saturday if I'm realistic about it). Sunday looks ridiculously packed and it seems from the numbers like at least 5 bands will be moved from other days to Sunday.
Main stage: Burning Spear? (could be Femi Kuti or plenty of others) moe. David Byrne Trey
2nd stage: Not much to go on here. I'm guessing other bands will be moved to Sunday, but I think Femi Kuti will have a good slot, maybe closing the second stage. Cracker could be on this stage. Taj mahal? Soullive? Bad Plus? I don't know.
In addition to EVERY band listed above I will really want to see Material whenever they play. I definitely want to be awake for Marc Ribot in a tent at 12:30, and whoever is opening the main stage. I'm definitely staying through Trey's whole set. The Superjam will probably be in a tent at the same time as David Byrne (my #1 priority) and whoever is closing the 2nd stage. 7 of the 10 bands I am most interested in seeing are slated for Sunday right now. There are going to be some serious conflicts, but it should be a great day, and I should sleep well that night.
Why go through the trouble of thinking about all this when the schedule will probably be out in a matter of weeks? I don't really know.

i sure hope that the speculation of wilco headlining the second stage is just speculation. it would be horrible if they played the same time as dylan. those are the two shows i want to see the most ???
