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!!
I'm blamin the dude on fb that posted it on there wall. I really doubt they would've ared if it stayed on here but it spilled over for way too many people to see
Yeah that dip apparently messed it up for everyone. We emailed agents/managers last year too and it seemed like Bonnaroo tolerated it as they never reprimanded us. We got lots of good info though. I'm so excited for lineup day now to help fill in the edges around these awesome names we have.

The official word is:
Since this thread in years past had started as the Artist Direct Confirmation[/u] thread we would like to go back to that. Get the confirmations from the bands themselves. Ideally you could get an answer at a concert/show or get them to respond on twitter or facebook. If they have a public e-mail address then go ahead and try that.
Stick with contacting artists. Please leave the bookers/managers and all that alone. We can't control what you do but from now on if your confirmation comes from that we won't use it. They're clearly annoyed by it and since we know SF/ACE are aware of this we don't want to piss off the wrong people. Also don't want to get anyone in trouble. Needs to come from the artists directly.
We appreciate the enthusiasm and effort of everyone who has contacted anyone in the past. It's been great but we'd like to take this thread back to what it originally was. It's more fun to get it from the band themselves anyway. Thanks everybody....back to your regularly scheduled program
Told you guys not to contact Windish... Also, whoever posted our confirmations on facebook fucked up too... Ah well, at least we got plenty to tie us over until next month =).

In the spirit of getting back to Direct Artist Confirmations:
I saw Father John Misty tonight. After the show I asked his guitarist Benji if they'll be at Bonnaroo and he said he thinks so and gave me a thumbs up.
I know we already had this one listed...but now we have it guilt free! ;D
Fill the rest of us in here, folks, since the Facebook mess was deleted. Was anything ever said by Bonnaroo staff about contacting management and reps? Or is this a group decision by inforoo members? I read through the pages and didn't catch where the light flipped off, so to speak.

^It's both, sorta. An inforooster got word from one of the AC staff (?) that what we're doing is unethical and ITM, last page, posted that we have to stop contacting agents directly. Artists are fine, after a show, twitter, facebook, but no more private emailing please.
Sacha (or Sasha, whatever the pregnant lady's name is) burned too bright too fast and went up in smoke.

We've heard that they were aware of it and said to stop being annoying to the managers/bookers. The mods discussed it and we decided to go back to getting confirmations direct from bands, which is how the thread used to be. So no official "Cease and Desist" from anyone at Roo but we felt this would be better.
Man I hope we get Janelle. I saw her last summer at the Afropunk Festival and she was fantastic, albeit it was overcrowded with a lousy PA. It'd be great seeing her on the farm.
