Why does it matter exactly how long a band plays? Is it that you think that due to tradition you feel you are owed at least 3 primetime bands that can hold it down for that long for the price you're paying? I might be a bit ticked when a band like The Strokes shows up late AND leaves before their allotted time is up, but if Arcade Fire is booked for 90 minutes and plays for 90 minutes, it's hardly disrespectful. I think they've done a good job in recent years of providing "dual headliners" or overlapping sets when less prominent acts have "headlined". Sure I'd like them to book a 3 hour Macca or Prince set, but you have to work with your options for who is touring.

I've been listening to The 2 Bears a lot lately. They have no U.S. dates up right now but are free June 2-14 Plenty of time to come over and play any day at Roo, maybe as a cafe act or a daytime tent act.

I was hooked on them for a bit, welcomed add for me!
I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.

Just more pointless speculation on my part but Tea Leaf Green is at Wakarusa a week before Roo. I'd say that makes them a possible addition. The jam acts this year are pretty solid, I know, but I'd say it's possible.

Man, that would be incredible, but I just don't see it happening, unfortunately.
But then if it does, I can always just be pleasantly surprised.
If Im not mistaken we should be hearing some more artist additions relatively soon. Last year they announced the Artist additions and Comedy on April 7th - Announced the late night sched on April 11 - Announced the cafe artists on April 15. Hopefully something surfaces soon........
PS. I liked that Paul Simon rumour, no matter how unrealistic it might be

If you vote for my band Old You in the Road to Roo contest, then we will be an artist addition.... and obviously everyone wants that.... not just me......
but seriously please check it out and spread the word if you dig it! Turn up the speakers for the tune we have on the voting page! Lots of hidden production value.
Here's an idea, The Hunger Games Tent - T Bone Burnett did the soundtrack & it's incredible. Artist's could include: The Civil Wars, Punch Brothers, The Decemberists, The Low Anthem, The Secret Sisters & Neko Case.
There's no reason they couldn't play dates before July. No dates at all in June is really a good sign. In addition they don't have any dates in Tennessee or Kentucky until two months after Bonnaroo.
I'm starting to think at the drive in is still possible. they've got those texas shows now, a couple of festival dates in europe over the summer. please let this happen.
And wow, you're like a walking, talking infomercial to turn people away from Pearl Jam and Ohio State, aren't you? Before you started posting here I quite liked Pearl Jam and was indifferent towards OSU, now I find myself wishing that Eddie Vedder falls down a mine shaft or that Columbus is infested with locusts
Mercy me. Pulp, on Jimmy Fallon show just now, doing a really inspired and energetic "Common People". Every bit as good as back in the day!
Apparently they're doing state-side dates over the next few weeks. No specific reason to believe they're gonna be added, but still.... that would be friggin SWEET!

I feel like getting adds today is possible. Or at least some kind of announcement. Based on the past couple years we could be getting the Late Night acts today... Maybe those will come with some adds. Fingers crossed
You think they would announce ads the same day the Lolla lineup drops? I feel like they wouldn't want to be overshadowed by that. I'm thinking next week for the final round of adds.
