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 love that look and I like the stealth color. A couple of things to consider:
-Are you a tent/camping/outdoorsy person? That tend looks HELLA complicated to set up, so if you're not used to setting tents up, practice it a few times in your backyard before you get to the show.
-Is that the rain fly we're seeing, or is that the tent itself? I'm wondering if there's any mesh in its construction...if it's not, there's not going to be as much air movement, which is key at Roo.
Here are some pics of the inside. The thread seems to contain information that tent/camping/outdoorsy people seem to be fluent in. There is no fly, it's just the tent itself.
as others have said, tents with a ton of guide lines like that are a huge pain in the butt. and yourself and others will trip over them. id avoided guide liens at all costs.

My thoughts are the second one, because you can remove the rain fly and get some airflow if it's not going to rain. We removed the rain fly on our tent the past two years that we camped and it was wonderful. Also, due to the heat in TN, you need some air in the tent, the first one looks like it would get WAY hot as soon as the sun hits it. It looks super cool for a different climate, but I wouldn't want it in TN in June.....
Yes, that is a very standard tent. Just judging by the pictures the 2nd one will be a lot easier to set up. Though my family has a wenzel and it leaked on us, granted that was 7 years ago and it was much larger (6 person).
Ya tent 2 here is just your more standard vanilla tent. Easy to setup, plus can take the tarp off. I think you'll enjoy it much more for festivals especially.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I too am looking for some advice on my sleeping structure, especially given the fact I am a Bonnaroo newb. Seems to me a tent could be very hot and sticky given the climate and thus am thinking I would buy an Ozark Trail E-Z Up from Walmart and then buy the mesh screen that goes with it (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-10-x-10-Mesh-Screen-Tan/21063168) to keep the bugs out and sleep in that. I figure I will bring a couple of cotton bed sheets and hang them inside on a couple of sides for privacy, if needed. And I also figure I will grab a couple of folding cots to sleep on inside the E-Z up and a normal tent so I can keep some of our stuff out of view. Does this plan sound reasonable? Any vets see any big issues with this idea? Any advice will be welcomed!

Sounds like a good plan. Definitely bring that tent. And try to keep out of sight while you sleep, I hear there are more and more Juggalos on the farm in the last few years, they like to creep around in the wee hours and steal human kidneys.
Jenny, this is probably too late in coming but i was excited to recognize this picture. the Wenzel tent pictured is my friend's tent and that's our campsite on Dauphin Island, AL...i think it was taken in 2012...we've been several years in a row and have used the same tent and campsite every time...so i think this is 2012. i think the tent is amazing...it can be easily set up and taken down by one person...it's awesome for stargazing with all the mesh screen, just simply take the rain fly off...it has also kept us completely dry during tropical down pours that chased others from the campground. of course the ventilation is good with the rain fly off but it's also good with the rain fly on...which is important to me. the rain fly can be put on in seconds if a storm comes up unexpectedly...which has happened to us more than once! it doesn't require a lot of staking...which i really like. also, it's wide enough to put a twin mattress on each side and you can still go in and out the doors without having to crawl over the foot of the bed. i have just bought the newer version of this tent for myself...

Certainly. Just sayin'... And since the thread is revived, has anyone tried that cool teepee tent? It still looks neat, even if it might be crazy hot and a guyline nightmare for Roo.
I just recently bought the Nordisk Alfeim 12.6. It's a badass canvas Tipi tent. Super easy to set up up, and the center pole is really secure. I think its bigger than the green one pictured. I'm excited to take it out this summer!
