Bonnaroo 2006 Lineup Additions:
Cypress Hill Umphreys McGee Disco Biscuits Oysterhead Les Claypool Sonic Youth Common Matt Costa Tortured Soul Blackalicious The Streets Lyrics Born deadboy & the Elephantmen The Refugee All Stars Electric Eel Shock The Codetalkers feat. Col. Bruce Hampton Preservation Hall Jazz Band Bindlestiff Family Cirkus World Party Brothers Past David Ford Be Your Own Pet
Bonnaroo 2007 Lineup Additions:
The Roots (less than a week after the initial lineup) Pete Yorn Ornette Coleman El-P David Bromberg and Angel Band Flight of the Conchords The New Orleans Klezmer Allstars Yard Dogs Road Show The Wild Magnolia Mardi Gras Indians
Dont get me wrong, the initial lineup is amazing and i am happy with it....
But come on Bonnaroo...The lineup additions this year dont even compare to last year's additions what-so-ever. Last year's additions blew everybody out of the water while this year's additions, or the lack thereof, are making people wonder and be sad. Come on Bonnaroo dont let us down....

I wouldn't count The Roots as an addition. They were supposed to be on the initial, but had a bit of a dispute over money.
There have been a few e-mail replies to board users from SF promising some big name additions in the coming weeks. I don't know why people are getting so worried. They just seem to be trying a different marketing strategy this year. They didn't need to continually hype the fest through March and April because ticket sales had been very strong. Why not knock off all your big name announcements in May to create a sh*tload of hype?

Remember, the initial lineup this year had more bands than any previous year. The leak the day before the official announcement may have had something to do w/ this. I think AC/SF planned on saving a lot more acts for additions, but we (re: BonnnarooDetective) beat em to the punch. Les, Oysterhead and the Umph/Bisco announcements all came before tickets went on sale. This year we had no announcements before ticks went on sale.

If you're going to compare the artist additions, you have to compare the initial announcements. If this year's initial was bigger than last year's (which I don't know), the amount of additions is kind of null. Just sayin.

I'm just here to echo what others here have said: fewer additions are a product of a much larger initial lineup. It all evens out. In fact, we'll be ending up with more acts this year overall.
You wouldn't think this point needs to be repeated, but given how many times the question has been raised, apparently it does.

Just act like they added
SCI WEEN Galactic Aesop Rock Mavis Staples Xavier Rudd John Butler Trio Keller Williams CLUTCH Gogol Bordello after the initial lineup and imagine your not whinning!! Jk
I think this years lineup is heady, justified...and I'm ready to rock already!

Thet're around here in one place or another. Consider this, though. Coachella is out of the spot light and, from the people I talked to, they weren't that impressed (Not that the two festivals are anything alike, but you get what I'm saying). If there was ever a time for Superfly and AC to pull something big out of their asses, this is it.
I dont know why people want additions so badly, the line up is ridic as is and plus i dont want any more additions, any more additions will just make more conflicts of bands i want to see

And whom can we blame for that??? ;D
edit- meant for two posts up.
Haha, I guess I should be cursing myself and not AC/SuperFly . . . damn me for finding those bands too early! I spoiled my own fun by peeking at the Christmas presents early.

I think this is true. Right now, they aren't exactly struggling with ticket sales. It makes sense they would try a different marketing strategy. They have everyone eating out of the palm of their hand.

Not trying to be a downer, but Arcade Fire is in Europe during Bonnaroo, and Jim James confirmed the MMJ won't be at roo this year. TMV is the "biggest" name that has hope.
;D
