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!!
I didn't go in '08, so I am only going off what I have read from other people. klimfactor, what say you?
Sorry for the delayed response, but yes, I was being facetious. All that "Phil hate Bonnaroo stuff" drives me absolutely nuts. I was at the Phil show, but ultimately abandoned my friends there for Sigur Ros. There was no thrown Sanuk. I figured that was so over the top, like a lot of the Kanye-Phil stuff, it would have been obvious. That's the limitation to message boards, I guess. You can't see a grinning - or in the case of my reaction to the never-ending Kanye-Phil stuff - an annoyed-looking face.
Hoping for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MGMT, and She & Him to be added!
All three are on the Kanrocksas line-up that came out today which is two weeks after Roo. Most of the line-up sucks and it doesnt have any headliners but I would like to see those three.
Turtles are, actually quite sexy, if you think about it. I’m getting an erection just thinking about turtles. No, not a stripper named turtles, that’s not funny. Actual turtles.

Hey, I haven't been following this thread at all. Have people been confirming any acts or all just wishes/speculation? I ask because I'm going to see Yonder Mountain on Sunday and wanted to see if I should ask if they will be appearing at Roo. They'll be at Waka and Electric Forest, but they don't have any shows in between according to their website. Just wasn't sure if anyone might have asked previously or if it had been discussed and I didn't know because I haven't been following this thread.
So when are we thinking we'll get the first batch of additional acts? ACE has their hands full with Forecastle next week, so perhaps the week after?
Since 2007, here are the lineup drop dates and date of the first batch of additions:
2007 -- Feb 14/Mar 28 (6 weeks after initial announcement) 2008 -- Feb 7/Feb 27 (3 weeks) 2009 -- Feb 3/Mar 25 (7 weeks) 2010 -- Feb 10/Mar 4 (3 weeks) 2011 -- Feb 15/Apr 7 (7 weeks) 2012 -- Feb 14/Mar 12 (4 weeks)
No REAL discernible pattern here, but I have a feeling this year we may have to wait a little longer due to (what I imagine to be) strong ticket sales. I guess the soonest we can expect it is the week of March 11th, and the latest we can expect is the second week of April.

Reasonable theory: The first week of April, based purely on the pattern of long-short-long-short Crazy theory: Additions are somehow tied to whether or not the groundhog saw his shadow?

Talked to the tech guys at the Yonder show tonight, said they had not heard anything about coming to Roo. The band announced they would be doing Harvest Fest again this year, though.
Roofan asked if he could shake his hand once when we are were crowded in waiting for a show to start. He just looked at him and left immediately.
He actually shook my hand that night, but it was like shaking a dead fish. Cold clammy hand with no grip at all. Then he headed up to the VIP area up stairs. I think Jack is the long lost brother of a Tim Burton created Johnny Depp character. Dude is freakin weird!!
It would be absolutely ideal if two or three of these people were added but then again that would mean more conflicts in an already amazing lineup: Frank Ocean MGMT Black Crowes Joey Bada$$ The roots Ben Harper The Smashing Pumpkins Schoolboy Q
