Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo in 2013!!
Maybe they didn't want us to compare this lineup w/ previous ones. That could be a reason they took down the past lineups.
I think it's just that they wanted the new design up and didn't want to waste time creating new pages, links and all that. I'm sure the old lineups will be put up after the festival when they have more time/desire to do so.
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
Would be cool if they went back to less acts and longer sets. I loved the 2.5 hour Ween tent show in 2007.
No... it's no longer a jam band fest... A bunch of these acts can barely hold down 45 minutes.
It doesn't have to be a jamband fest to have longer than 1 hour sets.
I think it would be cool if every headliner went back to having 2 - 2.5 hour slots, and every show from 3pm - 8pm had 90 minutes. Any band that can't fill that time slot can play Thursday or before 3pm.
With longer sets, conflicts wouldn't be as big of a deal IMO.
I mean.. generally acts don't have less than an hour. You're right about a lot of acts barely being able to fill 45 minutes but those bands are treated as such. Also major headliners have been holding down at least two hours (minus the hip hop acts) besides arcade fire last year.
I do like when well established bands have at least 75 minutes though.

you can blame The Police for ending this trend. They played about 80 mins of a 3 hr slot, leaving almost 2hrs of dead air time before the late nights could start.
Radiohead and for sure Phish could slam 3 hours a piece. RHCP is an hour and forty kind of act which could lend itself to staggered Which/What sets like last years Friday night.
I also think longer evening and LN sets is a great idea if for any other reason just to help split conflicts.

and thats one of the many reasons that show sucked. 2007 was the year of headliners ending abruptly. Tool ended their set 30 minutes early I think.
but seriously. Tom Petty, Radiohead, Metallica, Bruce Springsteen all filled their 2.5 hour slots nicely. Even Pearl Jam who was only given 2 hours played for nearly 3.
The main reason for the short headliner slots is because apart from jambands like Panic and Phish and classic rock legends like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, there really aren't that many names that could fill a 2.5 to 3 hour slot. Also because the pool of headliner-calibur artists is limited in and of itself.
Radiohead will play for at least 2 hours. Hopefully more if they give Bonnaroo the same special treatment this year as they did in 2006. RHCP will play 1.5 to 2 hours. I just liked it more when a headliner started at 9 or 9:30 and ended at 11:30 or 12. and the latenights started right then instead of 12:45 to 1. Simpler and better IMO.

some explain to me how this brand new festival got maynard to do a tool show and a puscifer show at the same place. www.riversedgemusicfestival.com/ it really feels like someone is dropping the ball.
Tool would require a headliner slot... they probably had their 3 headliners booked before discussions were had with Maynard/Puscifer and quite frankly Roo wouldn't trade any of their headliners for Tool.

No additions (stage or cafe) today is really bumming me out right now. Thurs. seems to be their announcement day (other than the Mon. one since they F'ed up the previous Thurs.)
So, anyone think we'll get Beach House? New album out, touring on it soon and no dates for June. They're doing Pitchfork in July they're based out of Baltimore so it's not even a huge trek regardless of if they've got dates around there.
5/16 - Father John Misty
6/6 - The National/Dirty Projectors
6/10 - Animal Collective
6/13-6/16 - Bonnaroo
6/24 - Steve Martin & The Steep Canyon Rangers

Oh I didn't think they would add them or trade a headliner for them. Just kind of wowed by it.

I hope, as I know alot of the rest of you do, that The Men will stop by Bonnaroo after their last European date on June 3rd before heading to Canada for a gig on the 13th.

They would fill the Smith Westerns slot last year very nicely.
Well so much for my dreams of Avicii being added. He was just announced for EDC that same weekend.
F***.
I guess there's a small chance of him playing Saturday at Roo, but that would complete a 5-day run for him from the 6th straight through the 10th, which is incredibly doubtful.

Just to be clear, I liked this so as to show support for an Avicii-free Roo.

Why would they add Avicii when they have Skrillex? They'd both have to be LN Which shows.

Why would they get Black Star when the already have Ludacris? Lots of festivals manage having EDM before 1am...
