Since we got a pretty sweet confirmation today by literally just asking the artist over the internets if they were playing, let's start tweeting/emailing a whole bunch of artists to see if they're playing. I doubt we'd get any big ones to confirm/respond, but I bet we could get a few more confirmations as well..
Update:

i have twitter but don't really use it. to send messages to people/band don't you both have to be following each other? if not, how do you send a message to someone? i never understood all those @ and # i see on twitter.

Look up the artist's profile on twitter (realtalibkweli) and type @ in front of that. The person that asked Talib typed: @realtalibkweli I read a rumor that you and mos def are performing at Bonnaroo, is this true???

fistful of mercy

portugal. the man - i asked something like "any chance you guys will be playing bonnaroo again this year?" and they almost immediately responded with "me too!" - i think they'll be back
questlove
ray lamontagne
spoon
sara watkins - yes, well... - her exact words were "i'll be there man" - could mean she'll be there but not playing, could mean she was just messing with me by adding the "man" making it sound like "dude!", or it could mean she really is playing - i'm guessing and hoping for the latter but you never know with what people respond with - i feel kinda weird now about tweeting all those bands, you gotta take it with a grain and figure most bands will probably not respond or not tell you if they are, not to mention it is kinda rude - she recently stated on twitter that she'll be everywhere the decemberists are thru july - doesn't mean the decemberists will be back at roo but i'd say there's a slight possible chance
surfer blood
tom tom club - i'm simply asking all the bands whether or not they're playing - the response i got from tom tom club was "never say never" - did they not understand the question?
will hoge - probably not - his exact words were "i wish"

I called U2's NYC location management group today (office was closed) Was gonna just ask which night they were playing Bonnaroo to act like I already know they are playing...couldn't find an e-mail address so I figure maybe I get an airhead secretary Principle Management (Music Artists Management Company) 250 West 57th Street Suite 2120 New York, NY 10107 USA Phone: (212) 765-2330 Fax: (212) 765-2372
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
Someone should email Arcade Fire and ask them. They will most likely respond. I emailed them in november and they said Coachella was confirmed but nothing else was set in stone. If they are playing roo they probably know now.
