Compare the size of the 2010 list to the last 4 or 5 years... it's way smaller. I think there will be more additions, I just hope there's some big names. It's not that the lineup is all bad.. just to end on Stevie was so anticlimatic.
I have my fingers crossed for some really great additions. They need to make it up to us - for crying out loud, many of us sat waiting for 9 damn hours!!

- from the not so thrilled side. I believerm AC/Superfly recognized the mediocrity of the lineup, which lead to the trickle down decision. The idea I suppose being building early ticket sales through suspense and rumor. Also because much of the lackluster lineup had truly been leaked in one way or another.
Anyways I am still hype on Deadmau5, LCD, Thiev Corp, Bisco, Claypool, Bassnectar,John Prine, and Kris Kristofferson. Heres hoping for additions.
I can see the Lips on there. And I think this is a pretty killer line-up so far! Not understandin' all the naysayers. Sure, I'd love some MMJ back on the Farm, but maybe it's too soon. Maybe they'll be added. I never took the tease fer The Rolling Stones, and maybe at the time The Who were still in talks but then decided not to go through with it like they did with Coachella.
Anyway, I'm givin' this thread some positive vibes 'cause dammit I'm excited!

who leaked other than the flaming lips and steve martin? I feel like a lot of people were expected/rumored but this year had the least amount of leaks i've ever seen.
They delayed the lineup for a week for that. Why hold out hope for Super Duper additions?
This is my fear. we have been waiting for so long. why wait any more only to be disappointed again. I trusted you bonnaroo. c'mon. dont do me like that. haha
but for real....why weezer? I love old school weezer. but why not get some awesome acts that are fresh, in their prime, and already touring? ex: Girls ? or them crooked vultures? reapeat of yeasayer was what i was hoping.
the flaming lips are on the bonnaroo artist page. to all the people (CoS included) who had neil as 'confirmed' or 'expected'... WHERE DID YOU GET THAT???? now that the lineup is officially out, REVEAL WHERE YOU HEARD THIS i'd just like to know if there was any reason this moved from a rumor to expected.
i think it's a great lineup. some heavy undercards in there. if you don't think about any previous Bonnaroo lineups, the lineup sounds like a fun time. but IMO, if you compare this to other Roo lineups it's pretty lame. that being said, i'll probably be down on the farm. it'll be the first year that one or two bands are bringing me there and i will be experiencing all of this music that is new to me. but i guess that's what it's all about. should be an interesting and fun party

Not even close to the quality of lineup's in the past. Not even close. Not worth it to me. I guess I'll go to another My Morning Jacket show instead and go to smaller show close to home. I was thinking that MMJ would play before Neil on Sunday to close.

I suppose I misworded there. a number of larger acts (DMB,KOL,Stevie, etc.) have been heavily discussed, to mixed review. and I do agree, there were the fewest concrete leaks this year. People however have been heralding our headliners for awhile. I think many refused to believe the current situation as a viable headliner set for roo based on last year.
I'm pretty happy for the most part. I really wanted and expected Neil, but we could still get him. I had a feeling we wouldn't see MMJ. I definitely didn't think we'd see Arcade Fire. I really thought we'd see Spoon, so I'm quite surprised by their absence. There will be some good stuff added. Relax, people.
Looking at the length of the lineup from last year and the length of what has been announced so far, I'm not holding my breath for a big addition, but it wouldn't surprise me if that undercard got alot better.
im solidly happy with the undercard this year, lots of shows i want to see. i am very shocked, however, at the 'headliners'. i truly believe that there are still some surprises

Actually yea, you're right. We did kinda know DMB and KOL would be there. I forgot about that. I guess we just expected a bigger name.

Bonna-rumors are flying about who will headline the annual rock festival in Manchester, Tennessee this year.
Organizers teased the appearance of the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead offshoot Furthur, and Jay-Z in a series of recent tweets, by alluding to their respective album and song titles. See if you can guess which tweet alludes to which artist.
1 out of 4.....maybe they have someone else in mind for an addition?

Im sure we will get another " In a few days we will unvail the 2nd half of the lineup the same way, starting from 10pm > 10am " and COS will confirm Led Zeppelin and Phish as headliners..lol..............Im sure the 2nd wave though will be the simon and garfunkle and maybe neil young, Waters would have been dropped already..MMJ was suprised to see them not added

god i hope so...headliner wise. I am pleased with the undercard but how far up some of those on the top line are is just killing me. I can't believe it.

this lineup is kind of like warped tour getting lilith fair pregnant, and then that child later becomes impregnated by scion rock fest, and then that child becomes pregnant with an old coachella lineup, which leads to the present bonnaroo initial lineup.
I might have taken that a little far. But seriously....there's like 6 bands that I would really love to see, and a bunch of bands I would like to see if nothing else was going on. I'm definitely holding off on buying my ticket until some good additions.
I'm all about diversity, but to quote mr. vonnegut:
"Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia."
well im still very excited. i think its gonna be a great time & maybe we'll get some additions... spoon please? and a few more electronica & i am set. see you all there =]
this line up blows. and i was not someone that was expecting Daft Punk or the Stones or someone crazy. i had even talked myself out of Roger Waters once i saw the FLips were playing Dark Side.
if this had been simply posted at midnight, i would still be disappointed with it, but i wouldn't be angry. i had a really busy day at work yet i kept wasting time checking on the line up for updates. and when it was ultimately underwhelming, not only was i disappointed, but pissed off that i got so distracted by it. the trickle thing was cool for a while and would have been great if it had paid off with a line up like 2007, 2008 or 2009 (or at the least, a line up that wasn't missing a bunch of acts). all this time, all this speculation...it was all a waste. i skipped 'Roo in 2007 and 2009 and regretted it deeply both times. there are only a handful of things I will regret about not seeing this line up.
sorry to be so negative, i just feel like i pissed away a lot of time and energy for nothing. i know acts will be added, but it's going to take a lot for me to get over this initial anger/disappointment. i feel betrayed.
i'd just like to know if there was any reason this moved from a rumor to expected.
amazing! crunchy for you!
