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!!
To me, Joy Division and The Fall are the quintessential post-punk bands. Whether or not you consider post-punk punk is a subjective assessment I suppose.
I do see The Fall as leaning more towards the punkier side of post-punk. And I would poo cinder blocks like a hurricane if they played roo.
No thanks. I love me some ska (or whatever you want to call it because it's not actually ska), but that's just way too redundant of a day. Mighty Mighty Bosstones would be a great get though.
I feel like Larry & His Flask needs to be at Bonnaroo.

Let's get this going again!
Quacked Up is my #1 must see punk act right now (they haven't hit the capitol since I got into them.) Fingers crossed.
Screaming Females is one of my favorite touring bands. They were supposed to blow up in popularity like The Men this year, but the world isn't fair. Cafe/Miller Lounge, maybe? They absolutely rocked the tiny room at Black Cat.
I think Ty Segall is the most likely punk act right now. He has wide enough appeal (even NPR made jokes about his 3 or 4 releases this year,) Roo tends to skew garage (JEFF, BBR, PUJOL,) and his act has attracted a lot of buzz. The entire band was amazing at Bumbershoot, and I'll be seeing him again in January.
As for other acts, I can see a Swans or My Bloody Valentine late night, maybe Menzingers, Thee Oh Sees or Royal Headache. METZ would get me to skip probably any conflicting act
5/4 The Breeders
5/19 Titus Andronicus (?)
6/5 Tomahawk w/ Buke and Gase
6/8 Screaming Females
6/20 Billy Idol w/ Cat Power
6/29 Naked Raygun
7/12 Belle & Sebastian w/Yo La Tengo
7/13 Phish or Savages
7/14 Phish or Wire
Green Day actually has a gap during Bonnaroo, but they're overseas surrounding it. I'd be surprised if they came back for one night to play the Farm on Friday.
In full disclosure though, I'd be really hyped to have them there. They don't make the best music anymore, but they put on a killer show.
