Aretha Franklin was scheduled NO Jazz Fest - I think as one of the main headliners - but dropped out two years in a row. I doubt we'll see her booked by Superfly again after that.
Speaking of her replacements, I'd love to see Earth Wind & Fire in a LN Tent.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
I have a strong feeling RHCP is going to be our top-billed headliner.
That would be a pretty big let down in my book. Not that headliners make or break my decision about doin' 'Roo, but that would definitely be a disappointment.
I have a strong feeling RHCP is going to be our top-billed headliner.
My gut feeling is we get RHCP, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, or Muse.
i agree and would prefer Foo Fighters or Muse as the friday headliner. Not really a big Coldplay fan, but Ive heard they put on a very good live show, so I would check them out.
If RHCP is there they are gonna be the #1 billed band and I would be let down by that for sure.
edit: although i would have to imagine it would be a better show then Eminem was this year, so I guess it would be an improvement.

in all honesty im expecting we get RHCP and one other of the list. I would love to see The Stones, Paul McCartney, Prince, etc... but im not expecting it.
RHCP - Foo Fighter/Muse - Jam Band Closer is my guess for top 3.
if we can get Neil Young and Crazy Horse as sunday closer i would feel a lot better

I'd be happy with RHCP as a headliner. I wouldn't be overly excited, but they definitely fit the bill, and the last time I saw them they put on a great show. At first thought I wouldn't think we would get them and Foo, but the more I think about it, the more I could see it happen. It just seems to me that the Friday-Saturday headliners wouldn't be near as diverse as they have in recent years.
It'd also be a bit weird to me that the first concert I ever went to, in 1999, would end up being 2 headliners for Roo in the same year.

true. it might not be diverse enough. but theres really not a whole lot of choices i see fitting as the friday headliner.
Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Muse, Outkast if the reunion were to happen. After that we are prob getting into somebody like Lady Gaga. Theres just not a lot of 'newer' groups left who fit the headliner mold. Now I guess they could do it like 2006 and put the more classic act on friday like they did with Tom Petty if they were to get RHCP as a saturday headliner.
The Rolling Stones Red Hot Chili Peppers Trey Anastasio Lil Wayne
This would be perfect if Lil Wayne wasnt on your list. I highly doubt that he will be on the farm again....
I Think they will get Lil Wayne again, maybe with special guest. Or I could see no hip hop headliner, with John Legends and The Roots has a subheadliner

I feel like Friday night is going to be another band that only just reached headliner status by the 2012 festival season, like KoL or AF, but I'm drawing a blank as to who. Who's going to explode within the coming year?

the thing is i think a lot of people knew, or at least thought that AF and KOL was on the verge of blowing up by this time in the respective years. I really cant think of anybody off the top of my head that fits that. Wilco I guess could have an outside shot of it.

I don't know, but Arcade Fire and Kings of Leon already had people arguing about their headlining capability at this point the year before they played. I imagine they're already feeling out potential headliners at this point, so somebody exploding in popularity a few months from now would probably be too late.
Yeah call it blasphemy, but his Coachella set turned out to be an outright success. The sell out of this year really changed the crowd and brought a lot of new people. I didn't see a lot of "Fuck Kanye" this year, either. He'd sell a shit ton of tickets and I'd be there to cheer him on.
