Not to jump the gun here...but IF this is the real lineup, how quick you think this will sell out? I am just nervous because I wont be able to get my tix till the 10th. Thanks for any input.

Daaaaaaaaamn. I mean, really... there's very little that could have been done better here. I was really leaning toward trying Rothbury this year, but they're going to have to hit it out of the park to keep me from Roo this year. (We'll see though....)
its soooooo top heavy but im not too blown away by the lineup
I dont see how the lineup is top heavy, the lineup is great from top to bottom. If you dont know alot of the lower tier bands i suggest you do some research because there are some really really great acts on the undercard. This year is going to be amazing, but I can already feel the conflicts stinging.
This is going to be one hell of a clusterfuck when it comes to conflicts.
Greatest lineup ever.
I really don't know how NIN is going to fit into the scheme, IF he brings the lightshow that he did last tour (Or bigger, from some info I read).
No lightshow. He's said over and over recently that the late spring and summer tour will be stripped down band, changing setlist and NOT tied to a giant lightshow.

Still 80K tickets to sell in a down economy - I think you should be ok. I know there's a whole lot of enthusiasm here, but this just a small percentage of the 'roo attending population.

in other good news, i think it's safe to say that this top-heavy line-up precludes any chance of a a widespread panic headliner (or at least in any sort of a rational world.....).

You don't see how its top heavy, Bonnaroo looked at all the other festivals in the states and said okay we will get most of your headliners and make them either midnights or pre headliners
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Phish (2 Shows) throws there own fest Beastie Boys headlined most fests in past and present langerado Nine Inch Nails headlined lollapalooza, voodoo and others David Byrne Wilco headlined lollapalooza Snoop Dogg headlining Langerado The Mars Volta headliend ACL Fest
I dont know guys. This would be amazing. Only thing that is leading me to believe its a fake is because we have the ting tings listed as officially not playing. "The Ting Tings (Isle of Wight 6/12 via Efestivals)" They are going to be in a completely diff country during Bonnaroo. They are playing this other festival on a friday so they could possibly come to roo I just find it hard to believe.
but hey, i could def be wrong and truthfully wouldnt mind if I was!
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!

and im skipping some of the other top acts
Yes that is alot of big names but top heavy infers that there are no good acts on the undercard when I think the undercard is very strong.

That lineup is simply amazing. I am definitely trying to make a trip to the farm this year.
The lack of jam bands is interesting, though. No form of the Dead and no Umphrey's/Bisco/STS9/Yonder. Not complaining, just noting - I'm guessing Umphrey's in the addition (new album out or I wouldn't guess 2 years in a row). Phish & moe. is pretty badass, though!
