For the tenth anniversary there will be thursday late nights and a thursday headliner on the Which stage! I have no idea why they haven't had late nights on thursday in the past.
Yep its already been confirmed that Arcade Fire will be headlining Thursday. Which is especially funny because Nodepression will miss the show because of his stubborn inability to admit there actually is a Thursday headliner.
Wondering if there is a specific reason as to why there aren't any Late Night sets on the first night of Bonnaroo? Just curious.
Also, I apologize if this common knowledge and is something I should already know.
Now worries. Patience runs pretty thin around here sometimes and seems to in an indirect relationship with sarcasm and snobbery.
There's really no stated reason other than mentions that Thursday has expanded over the years to accomodate the increasingly early arrival of crowds. Back in 04 there were three or four artists playing at all on Thursday, playing around 11 or 12 PM. Each year it's gotten a little more involved, starting a bit earlier and running a bit later and adding cafe artists.
I'd expect the trend to continue this year of sets going a bit later, maybe into the 2-3 AM range. Probably still nothing on Which Stage, though I hope I'm wrong about that.

My bet would be they just don't want everyone ta be super-fakin' exhausted the rest of the weekend. And Lotus played late enough fer me this past year, even playin' some 15-20 minutes past their scheduled end time.
I actually think the real reason they don't have a headliner on Thursday is traffic. Just imagine how many more people are going to want to show up on Thursday if there were bigger name acts playing on Thursday.

That's a good point. The traffic would be more insane than it already is.
Hmm....if this trend continues maybe they'll start "officially" opening the campgrounds on Wednesday nights? And where did you hear about Arcade Fire? Is there some other website I need to be checking for updates?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they could start letting people in sometime later in the evening on Wednesday. Or even midnight? What time do they start anyway? We got there at 4am thinking it wouldn't start till 7am, but heard they always open up early. And the Arcade Fire announcement was a joke to poke fun at nodepression.

Don't listen to these guys. Arcade fire isn't confirmed, and there's no saturday headliner. This board is becoming misinforoo. Don't get me wrong, I find it pretty funny, but I feel bad when people actually believe the misinformation that floats around.

I do as well, we need to remember there are a lot of folks that use this as a information source that do not log in and post.
* There is not traditionally a Thursday headliner. * There will still be a Saturday headliner. * There is no confirmation that Arcade Fire has been booked. * The festival grounds officially open at 7 on Thursday morning but unofficially opens Wednesday night around nightfall

They definitely open the gates on Wednesday evening, but something makes me think they close them again when BFE fills up. That is just speculation based on the no line movement I saw from 3am until sunrise.
My bet, at least in this past summer's case, was they may have stopped parkin' cars 'cause of all the mud and rain. I think I remember hearin' of a few delays in parkin' on Wednesday night due to this as cars were gettin' stuck.

Hate to sound ancient but I think the combination of the traffic and knowing how far some folks have already travelled makes not having a late night on Thursday a good idea. I'd still love a headliner Thursday night though.
^^Agreed. Considering we get up at 5am, drive to Manchester, wait in line, put up our campsite, and wander around Centeroo on Thursday, I'm usually lucky if I can stay up until midnight.... it has yet to happen, actually.

This is quite possible. We had to push the van in front of us out of the mud at the ticket checkpoint.

As I understand it, this is correct.
Most years they are still filling BFE on Thursday morning. They probably stop if it's filled or not once VIP starts because they use the same road in the other direction.

Yeah, 2011 is going to be a bitch of a Thursday for us. School let's out on Wednesday and we won't leave the kids on the last day, so most likely we've got a solid 10 hr drive before we even do set up, etc. I just hope it's not as fucking hot as 2010 was!!!
