I believe The White Stripes have been mentioned before as being more packed than Jimmy Buffett.
I was at both. Jimmy Buffett had a big crowd, but it wasn't packed. You could walk freely through it for the most part and get about as close as you wanted to. I think it was that way because it wasn't official that he would be there until right before, even though most of us assumed he would be there. And, it was the first show of the morning. A lot of people were still in transit, asleep, hungover, etc. and didn't want to get out and moving that early.
Does anyone else think insider might be a dude faking as a female on the boards for the sake of anonymity? I remember "she" mentioned in the past that she was worried about who might be on the boards and figure out her true identity. Just thought that would be an easy way to mask one's true self.
I do, however, feel as if her posts are being written from a woman's perspective, not sure why, they just do.
Has insider ever confirmed scheduling post-lineup drop?
Read up a page. Yeah. She told us everything but MMJ last year (and didn't say who the rap HL was, but where it was was known...that looks awkward in text)

I don't think it's wise to speculate on who it could be IRL. Don't put our annual visits in danger.

^^This. It's also not wise to post it to Facebook or Tweet tha damn thing either.
In 2010 she gave us KOL, DMB, Jay-Z, Stevie, and Tenacious D
In 2011 she gave us Black Keys > Rap Headliner, MMJ & Arcade Fire (no clue about scheduling), and Robert Plant > Widespread Panic.
In 2010 she considered there to be 4 "headliners" and last year she considered there to be 6 "headliners". In 2009 she didn't use the term "headliner" but just confirmed to us the 3 names and when they'd play.
I think last year she also told us MMJ and Arcade Fire would play one after the other if my memory serves me right
Yea but she didn't know who played first and who played second.

It's been speculated by some.....but as someone said I think it's best not to even get into it. This has been a yearly gift that we get and I don't want to ruin it for the future.

Yeah it sucks I can't post it to facebook or anything... I'm friends with Ashley Capps on there. That could be bad.
Dude, he sells out Stadiums all over the US with 70-125$ tickets.
He would be the worst headliner the festival has ever had. I also heckled him once at a Knicks/Heat game and he gave me the finger. True story.
First I wonder why when at a basketball game you would find that a good time to heckle someone not even playing. So think about if Jimmy started heckling you at the game you'd be hey dude what the? You don't like him that's all cool, but dude has been playing and selling out stadiums for decades. Oh and that's with no radio play except on satellite. If Jimmy was to come back to Roo he probably would not headline because he more than likely not be willing to commit by January but be a late add. You seem like a cool dude, give Jimmy a break get over the finger thing. If you get a chance have a margarita or four and party down. He could headline Roo but won't because he's that cool.

If I was drunk, screaming at refs, wandering onto the court, being a general nuisance in the other team's arena, I'd expect to get heckled. Just sayin'. Yes, that's what Buffett was doing, and it certainly was not the first time.
Did you know he was ejected from a Knicks/Heat game in Miami during the 90s? That's right, a referee took time out of a nationally televised game in a heated rivalry to throw old Margarita Man out of the game. As a fan.
I actually don't mind his music (I worked at a Tommy Bahama where they played Jimmy Buffett on a loop), he's just an idiot and is not "too cool" to headline anything. He's not headlining Bonnaroo because they're not going to ask him to.

Oh man I would absolutely love it if I was at a basketball game and Jimmy Buffett started heckling me. That would be great.

Thats a good story there are lots about him, the best is the one about him dancing on the hood of Buford Pussers (Walking Tall) Cadiliac in golf shoes, after recording Gods Own Drunk.
Actually I just looked it up that was an epic story, I had never heard the official one before.
That's actually complete HORSESH*T. Come see me in 5 years, the Avett's won't be as big as the Mums.
the hell? The avetts aren't even as big as Mumford right now. I was just commenting on who I believe to be the better group.
I agree that they are the better group but I'm a bit biased being completely obsessed with TAB right now. But their entire catalogue is amazing and I'm hard pressed to find a song I don't like. I haven't been this affected by music since Metallica back in the 8th grade. Each song is more amazing than the last and they really speak to the soul. They've been around a hell of a lot longer than Mumford and will be around long after them as well. They do things their own way and aren't stuffed into what labels and record companies want and I think that holds them back a bit. Anyway.....they deserve to be huge successes but if they never achieve that, it's fine with me. And if you know anything about them, I honestly don't think they care all that much. I've never seen a group more into their art, writing, music and fans as they are. They don't care about the big business part of it.
I'm guilty of trying to guess and ask questions of Insider's identity here. It was more rhetorical in nature but insider chose to respond. It would not take a CIA interrogation to determine her identity but I would hope ac/sf would be willing to tolerate her limited leaks because it only creates buzz and excitement among the Bonnaroo faithful, except when they book shitty headliners like Kings of Leon. I love insider and hope to always preserve her presence.

What? This is a public forum accessible to literally anyone. This is also essentially the official Bonnaroo message board since the one that was on bonnaroo.com disappeared and they simply posted a link to inforoo. I think the secret is out.
Saturday Which Closer 2011 - Buffalo Springfield - 5th 2010 - Weezer - 7th 2009 - The Mars Volta - 14th 2008 - ??? (this was originally suppose to be Kanye West, anyone remember who played?)

I think we should turn our attention towards the 2/3 other "prime spots" depending on how you feel about how many shows phish will play. I feel it will be Drake, Beach Boys, and Eddie Vedder. I also think Skrillex will be there doing a late night stage but idk if I would consider that top 6.

I don't think we will get any of the artists you mentioned but we will see soon enough.

im fine with just 1/4 as long as its eddie vedder. would love beach boys and honestly would really like drake. not a big skrillex fan but if hes there it means less people elsewhere
i think it makes sense. He's playing a small solo tour in he south this summer that ends a month before Roo and includes Jazzfest (Superfly connection). He doesn't have Memphis or Nashville scheduled, and hasn't played a solo show there in close to three years. Why? Nashville is a huge music scene, it doesn't make sense to just skip it.
