insider's "4th headliner" didnt fall through. they fell into the 2nd line of the lineup.
she said we would be surprised by how much isn't worked out yet... beach boys are not much of a surprise. not saying i think there will be a fourth headliner added, just saying that i definitely think something fell through as do a lot of people
"OK, so there are 2 bands "headlining" (I use that term relatively loosely) both of who's names begin with an 'R', followed by a vowel, followed by a D - as some of you have correctly speculated after my last post."
Can everyone please just stop? We're not getting Prince, or the Rolling Stones, or multiple top-15 type acts. MAYBE we get one top 15 act along the lines of a Jack White, but the rest will be mid-tier or lower artists that fill out some of the genres that don't have a big early representation. Most of these acts are going to be groups we already have some suspicion about as seen in the "Quasi Confirmation" thread.
Bonnaroo has added ONE major headliner level act after the initial lineup over the last 10 years, and that was in 2003 (where the festival was so different from the way it is today that it almost can't be looked at as the same event). The idea of a huge act getting added after the lineup drop is like the idea of the mythical Thursday headliner - yes, it may happen one year, but the chances are small, and it's more than likely not this year.
Oysterhead was added in -6, and widespread in 08, though WSP was due to special circumstances. Generally you are correct though we have our top 15 acts I think. Maybe a Jack White or Leonard Cohen.

I don't think we'll necessarily get another headliner.. But I think we'll get multiple additions that are bigger than the additions in years past. I appreciate everything she does, but Insider was lacking a bit of clarity this year

I think 3 or 4 decent acts will be added but I agree with Juggs on no HUGE acts getting added. I honestly do not think Jack White is gonna get added. Danzig, Citizen Cope, things of that nature make sense.

I chatted it up with the bassist of Future Islands when I caught their show in Athens in January. I was trying to get him to confess they'd be at Bonnaroo. With a twinkle in his eye, he said all he could promise is that they'd be somewhere for a festival this summer in the southeast. I was certain he was kinda-sorta admitting Bonnaroo. Butttt, they're not on the lineup ((yet))

I dont think we will get Prince or another headliner but I would like insider to clarify the 4th headliner question. I want to know whether it was: a.Beach Boys b.someone who fell through, hopefully she would tell us c.Theres still hope

I'm really thinking (hoping) the Weir, Robinson, Greene Acoustic Trio is gonna be one of the adds. The lineup just seems to be lacking a little pop in the jam department. Citizen Cope also seems likely, and I'd love to see Yeasayer thrown in the mix!

That's actually not true. Insider was right... but it seems things fell through at the last moment.
Im not saying im right and your wrong, but how do you know for sure insider wasnt referring to The Beach Boys the whole time? Did I miss a post?
When she said we would be shocked by what wasn't worked out, she was specifically referring to Saturday. Beach Boys are playing Sunday. I'm pretty sure something fell through, and I think it was just Prince being Prince and things didn't work it. That's just my speculation, though.

No I received info from someone that told me what went down. It's not my story to tell, but I will say that the Beach Boys were not supposed to be #4...

I find this very difficult to believe.
I'm not asking you to believe it. It's just my personal opinion of what I think happened. I could be wrong. But Prince is notorious for being difficult to deal with, and it's known that they wanted the Prince/Radiohead combo last year.
