Clearly Bonnaroo is not super shy about repeats. If they're gonna bring back ANY band from the 2010 lineup, they should at least do it right. Late night obviously. Yeah? Yeah.

Who'd you see instead? I forget who played against them, but I never get sick of Lotus. One of my favorite live acts ever, even after seeing them 5+ times.
I headed back to camp. Before this year, when they officially let people in on Wednesday, I would be worn out by 11pm from getting to Roo, setting up camp, and seeing bands during the day. Had Lotus been a late-night on Friday or Saturday I would have been at their show.
YESSS!!! Hadn't heard of Lotus before that Thursday and I decided to check 'em out fer a bit. So glad I did as I ended up stayin' the whole set. They have easily become one of my favorite live acts and a ragin' late night set at Bonnaroo 2012 would make the ticket worth the cost already.
I was completely awe-struck by the awesomeness that was Lotus on Thursday in 2010. Hands down one of my favorite sets that weekend. And when they covered Crazy Train I will never forget how nuts the crowd went!

I still love listenin' to that moment on the recordin'! I can remember it so vividly! Looked over at Jury and was like, "Are you shittin' me? Are they playin' this fer real?"
"I mean, Led Zeppelin didn't write tunes everybody liked. They left that to the Bee Gees." "this whole situation has just turned his whole life upside down face."
2012: RHCP, Phish, Beach Boys, Aziz, The Roots, Alice Cooper, Superjam, Blackstar, The Word, Luda, Flogging Molly, Spectrum Road, Umphrey's, Black Lips, Gary Clark Jr., Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Trampled By Turtles
but if they were added I don't know where'd they go, the latenights seem pretty stacked as is.
I think a good slot for them (or any other band) would be Other Tent during Saturday headliner, for the people that dont want to see RHCP. the sun would be down, so light show could happen, and it would just provide a nice alternative for people that don't like RHCP, but still want to dance and have a good time.
day time set? Yeah I could see this happening as a sunset show or some sort but this is a latenight act just as any other band imo. if biscuits and tribe play late night sets i would think lotus would as well. Maybe they come back and play thursday again in the same slot just extended time. the knux came back and did thursday and I think they would kick off the party right. I love these guys and them thursday put them in a "late night" kind of slot but without conflicting with the real "late night"
late nights are stacked? the way I see it 12 tent acts during late night at least. skrillex, major lazer, mimosa, flying lotus, sbtrkt, big freedia, ema, little dragon, and big g are the only ones I see getting late nights for sure. We need an act like lotus to round out that lineup. and with lotus thats only 10. There will for sure be something closer to 14 tent acts. so who is the other five that keep lotus out, assuming big freedia, ema, big g don't play thursday as well. I just see late night ALOT more open then years past. is there something about some acts i need to know?

I think Skrillex will be on which. I also think little dragon and ema are gonna be on thursday (someone posted something about Little Dragon being set for Thursday on another thread, and i don't think EMA is big enough for late night), leaving 7 late night tent acts. But there will probably be two rappers there, too (between Luda, Das Racist, Danny Brown, Black Star, the Roots -- some could work daytime, which, or thursday). That's 9. Then I feel like Umphrey's, Mogwai, and Battles will end up as late nights. Back to 12. And apparently the Word is confirmed for a late night. 13. I think we can squeeze some Lotus in there. We need some late night jamtronica: '10 was Biscuits, '11 was Tribe. I think we need Lotus for a real late night set.
