What's up with Thursday and Thrice fans always trying to convince me how good they are? They talk about them like we talk about Radiohead or David Byrne.

It's true, Thursday fans especially seem very... committed. I had a similar problem with Chevelle. The way I've heard it, Chevelle is the greatest band I could never wrap my head around.
Sidenote, sold on that line-up. If only Black Eyed Peas could round it out, it would be perfect. At least we got Skrillex. Ha.
My current prediction, correct me if I'm wrong with any confirmed conflicts but here's what I think it could look like:
What: Foo Fighters Which: Dispatch -> The Chemical Brothers (LN)
What: Radiohead Which: The Roots -> Trey Anastasio Band (LN)
What: Furthur Which: Wilco
I think they'll try and get a big name electronic act - either Daft Punk to headline or Chemical Brothers or Deadmau5 for a LN Which. I hate Deadmau5, so I'm predicting the Chems.
There has repeatedly been a LN jam band on Which (or 2009 on What), so my guess is for Trey this year.
With recent Radiohead dates, and we know Thom loved Bonnaroo, I could see them back. I know everyone always predicts it, but why not? They'll be touring, loved Bonnaroo, we know Superfly wants them, etc.
Friday I have no idea who will play, but my guess is on Foos (still will be touring given Lolla Chile). I want Rage, but that's a long shot.
I am thinking Dispatch will play. Bonnaroo is the perfect fit for them (hippies and college students love them) and a sunset Which performance would be fvcking amazing.
Sunday is the obligatory Furthur slot, as they're due up and who knows how much longer Phil & Bobby will be at it. I absolutely love the Dead, so I'm also hoping for it.
Wilco & the Roots are two popular acts that haven't played for a couple years, new albums, and will be touring. Hoping for both.
Don't let people's mocks get you too excited. No way we (or just about any other fest) is going to get a lineup as strong (even just size wise) as some of the lineups being posted in here.
Remember 2010? Hopes ran so high. Roger Waters. Rolling Stones. Paul Mccartney. Radiohead. Who did we get? DMB. Kings of Leon. I learned a hard lesson.

True, i can't think of who this year's Kings of Leon/Arcade Fire would be
Springsteen just announced hes doing another tour and album.. he's played Roo before, maybe hes coming back?
"The European dates run from the Middle of May until end of July and are being announced this week. Info on the U.S. dates and the World tour dates will be coming up shortly."
