Yeah, I understand all that. I'm confused as to why you think that Shpongle being on the lineup and ostensibly being on Thursday means that there are Thursday late nights now. Also, there have been Thursday late nights before, they're just infrequent.
How late does it have to be qualify as a late night? I always counted everything after 12 (when most festivals shut down) as a late night. In which case there have been late nights since 07.

I would think that too, but don't think its official unless Bonnaroo lists it as a "late night" show
Lunar Stage would be able to handle Shpongle if positioned right. It's loud enough, open, in a field. I'd expect there to be a major conflict during the time though. Crowd control you know?

I gotcha. I suppose it could be earlier, I just assumed late night. Honestly I've never been to a late night Thursday show and always thought they shut down pretty early. I didn't go last year, though, and assumed it was one of the first years they'd done the thursday late night thing. All the same, bottom line is I'm freaking pumped to see the Shpongle DJ set. I've never seen either, but it looks to me like the DJ sets seem to be a little higher energy?
I'd assume it's because they haven't been announced yet, but it looks like the June 9th show has been removed from the Coast II Coast page.
For what it's worth this happened in 2008 with Tiesto. He announced on his web page the Bonnaroo gig before the festival and then between seeing that and the additions lineup it disappeared. Here's hoping for the same thing in this case.
Whatever tent can have that setpiece. I'm there! The Sphongletron is gotta be the single coolest stage set up ever...and the music, It ain't bad. Never heard of Sphongle but I'm diggin it. Thank you for posting that video.

Shpongle will only be on Thursday. He has subsequent dates in other cities. Looks like the Lunar Tent is back, as his tour setup will not fit in a tent.
Really? I am sure he can fit in any of the Bonnaroo tents just fine. He takes the shows to nightclubs and bars so I do not think there will be a lot of trouble.
honestly very surprised Shpongletron experience is getting Thursday. if that same setup from the NYE show is going to be at Roo then i think this may be one of the most elaborate stage setups ever for a thursday show? pretty exciting.

This is good news because it is one less late night conflict for Friday & Saturday. Last year Friday sucked having to choose between Flips, Bassnectar and the keys. I chose flips thank god they are bring back bassnectar and the black keys

I am way-over-excited to have the chance to see the Shpongletron set!!! I have been getting Shpongled and been enjoying their music for a while, but have not had the opportunity to see them yet. This is going to be an amazing show! I only hope that Raja makes an appearance with Simon.
Ive yet to see Shpongle but definitely plan on it. He's in DC on May 3rd, so thinkin of goin there and then going again at Roo if I make it. How do set times work? Would I see him play longer at his own show or around the same as Roo? or maybe longer at Roo?
obviously wouldnt know til the Roo schedule's out, but was just thinkin if I know I go to Roo by May, then if it's worth seeing him twice or see him in DC and skip Roo if needed, etc. I feel like I should be safe and see him here in case I dont go or it's not the full shpongletron setup or something.
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.
Seriously Leno-y parking or not I am not getting in a 10 hour line again and missing Leno like Miike Snow. My whole party has vowed not to ever let that happen again. It will just give us more time to stop and smell the flowers and such on the way to Centeroo. I have been in that back corner on the otherside of VIP it takes forever. But I am not going to spend thursday getting sunburned in a car in some line that never moved. We finally went towards koxville turned aroung some eagle pass or mountain place and came back to the the other line and it moved way faster. I am not missing Thursday night due to being tired again ever!! Going in Wendsday Night. I do not care if they put in the backside of CHina. I will walk it or stagger it preferably!!

The website lists two dates now. June 9th and 10th. One is obviously a typo, I say he will play Friday late night though. There are people who are not even set up by Thursday night.

I went in on Wednesday night and got a better spot than I did in 09' when I went in on Thursday. I think it's just luck of the draw.
call me optimistic but I think this will be the greatest thursday show that has ever took the stage at Bonnaroo
i hope so too!
Except it's probably not Thursday. They cancelled their Friday show in Florida the day before Roo announced the LN shows. To me, that sounds like they had to wait on Shpongle to cancel in Florida before they could announce the LN shows, which means that they're playing LN on Friday. I could be wrong, but that looks like the logical chain of events to me.
