And Roo wouldn't wait to announce for just anyone, they would have to be an artist with enough clout to ask for such a request and get it. I can think of a few possible ads.
Plus, look at this week's announcement-- a nice one, but not even something they announced ahead of time last year. The only way to judge if these announcements have an effect on ticket sales is in the vacuum between major announcements.
I don't think ya'll quite understand how festivals work. A band like CSNY would be guaranteed a large sum of money upfront, not dependent on ticket sales. For example, The Smiths were recently offered $5 million to play Coachella. Stevie Wonder was allegedly offered $3 mil to play ACL last year.
Bigger acts are readily compensated for their appearances.
Tv on the radio and the Mars volta would be awsome but, i don't think that is going to happen at all.
TV on the Radio isn't out of the question. They announced at the concert I saw them at on Monday that the release date for their cd has been set for June 20th. And they've made a point of keeping their schedule open around Bonnaroo.
Their set by the way, amazing. They've improved 100% since their last tour and I already thought they were great then.

I think you're misunderstanding what we're saying. We're not talking about what Roo is paying them. We're saying that the announcement of them playing Roo could be negotiated in terms of timing so that open sales on recently announced tours could have time to sell tickets.
And i can't wait to see TV on the Radio in June. Gosh I hope they add to Roo...
At this stage of the game we only have Sasha as the only DJ/Eletronica. I am expecting maybe a couple more acts like that..and those announcments seems to come later in the rounds.
