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!!
I know these are supposed to go in the Blue Room, but no one goes there and its the slow season anyway.
What I want to know is between these four bands who would you rather see as Friday headliner. Yes I know there are plenty of other options but I just want to to see who people like more between these four.
Any of those would be great but I went with Coldplay. Probably just because I'm on a kick and they were so great last week. Those Xylobands had me all teary-eyed.
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Encore: -Ball and Biscuit -Seven Nation Army -Screwdriver
Well I meant more in the vein of Bonnaroo booking popular bands. The pool is getting smaller so it seems like a guarantee that we will see some of these bands in the near future. THink of it as picking your favorite or the lesser of evils, it doesn't matter to me.
PS since I started the poll I guess I should say my answer. I picked The Killers but I would watch all four of them, which for me is saying a lot since I skip most headliners.

In order of who I'd prefer:
1.) Foo Fighters 2.) Muse 3.) Coldplay 4.) The Killers
I'm not a big enough fan of any of these acts to really have a well-rounded opinion on them all but they all seem like good choices for a variety of people. I'd be happy with any of them (if Foo are there i'd watch a good amount of their show, if some others I would maybe skip them depending on who gets late night shows).
How are The Killers winning? I saw them at Lollapalooza a few years back in the height of their popularity and they were supery cheesy and terrible.
I'm guessing others have seen them and didn't think they were terrible.
I'm not a big Killers fan. Couldn't really get into some of their albums after multiple tries. Just one of those things that I can't really latch onto. Still, I'd be fine with them headlining.

Notice what Bacon is asking for. Anyone throwing other names out there that you'd rather see over these guys is not helping. We all would probably rather a different specific act instead of these choices but the whole point of this thread is to look at these four acts and discuss/debate them headlining.

Muse is easily my favorite band of this group. Really the only one that I ever listen to outside of the occasional "Fix You" or "The Scientist" plays. However, I've already seen them live and the trend of their last two albums, I am a bit nervous of the new one and what the setlist might look like. I think my list would be:
1. Coldplay 2. Foo Fighters (Just because Dave Grohl) 3. Muse 4. The Killers
Only one that I wouldn't see out of the 4 would be The Killers
If the past few years have shown us anything, it's that they're completely abandoning any sort of "theme" for Friday and Saturday night headliners (if there ever was one). Sunday is still where the jam bands play, but I think Friday and Saturday in 2013 are both fair game for indie/alternative/legends/hip-hop/whatever else.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
I would rathe not have any of those but I went Foo. I would check Foo out for at least a little bit. I wouldn't attempt to go to any of the others at all.

I voted Muse. I am requesting Rage.
And I saw Foo Fighters in September and they were way better than I ever expceted. They were awesome. I voted Muse 'cause I've never seen them, but would vote Foos if I hadn't seen them yet but knew they would be awesome. If that makes sense?
I've seen all of these guys and each of them put on great shows. I'd love to have Muse (because they would seriously kill) but I'd take FF cause Dave Grohl was my childhood hero and their stage presence is just overall fun/party.
1. Muse 2. Foo Fighters 3. Coldplay 4. The Killers

Do you have a preference on how or do I get to pick?
***
I picked Coldplay because Parachutes is the only album put out by any of those four I still enjoy. But now that I think about it I'd probably rather see Foo Fighters perform, Coldplay's show seems pretty bloated. Muse and Killers would be naps.
This is about Lollapalloza's lineup from last year minus The Killers. I voted for Coldplay but would not minds the Foo Fighters. They both put on good live shows.
