So who are this years contenders for the Alabama Shakes/Sleigh Bells Thursday overflowing tent? I'm going with Alt-J or Django Django.
Father John Misty or Tame Impala.
I see those two more in Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. territory.
I don't think Tame Impala will be on Thursday.
Also, I'm glad there are 3-4 different ideas for who people think will be this years big Thursday band. Maybe the crowds will be a little more evenly dispersed this year.
No way Tame Impala is a Thursday act. Way too big. Alt-J will headline Thursday, probably along with Django Django (unfortunately as I want them playing over the weekend), and Earl Sweatshirt.
What about the chances of an EDM act being one of the closing shows on Thursday like Big Gigantic last year?
My prediction is Purity Ring 11:30 - 12:30/Father John Misty 11:30-12:45/AraabMuzik(maybe A-Trak) 11:45-1:00
Very very possible...will have to see how the year plays out, at least til May. Alt-J is real popular right now, so I can see them closing out. Just making it a point that Tame Impala as a Thursday act is laughable. The 30th band on the initial lineup does not play on Thursday unless they open the Which Stage, and that's not happening either.

Drag superstar promoter Ashley Caps is back. And this time, he has gone curazee! With a music festival that answers the question, “Whaaat?!” Bonnaroo 2013 has everything: ghetto blasters, condom balloons, reverse fist fights, 200-pound middle-aged women in glittered leotards, a kiddie pool full of Chinese contortionists, gummi bear kisses…

This logic is off. This years lineup is incredibly deep. There are numerous artists after 30 that are absolutely not playing Thursday. Gov Mule, Billy Idol, Gaslight Anthem, Dwight Yoakum, etc... No Chance. Last year the highest listed Thurdsday act initially was Yelawolf at 38 but it could be argued that every single band initially listed under 35 was capable of playing Thursday. I'm not trying to say they are playing Thursday but to say its completely out of the question is just ignorant.
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.
Except for Classic Rock, Indie Rock, and Hip Hop......
Macca - rock/pop Mumford - rock/folk/pop Petty - classic rock Bjork - international alternative pop Wilco - alt country rock Pretty Lights - electronic R. Kelly - R&B Wu-Tang - Hip Hop Daniel Tosh - Comedy The National - alternative
Ok even you have to admit that is cutting it a bit thin...

The additions are never substantial and shouldn't be depended on for the fleshing out of any imaginary perceived lack in the lineup.
This. I fell into this trap last year expecting a metal band or two to be added in the additions (tent sized not cafe acts). It did not turn out at all.
Pucifer and Danzig (I know you could make the argument that neither are truly metal) were both adds last year. Here's hoping we get a couple similar adds this year, I'm just not sure what's actually available.
After the initial WOOHOO of the line up being released which is something we all do every year. I sat down and sorted out my thoughts. And while I share everyones excitement over the fact that I'm going to see McCartney when my father never has. (a big deal since he's taught me everything I need to know about music before he sent me off to make my own opinions.) I mean, it's going to be great. We all know that. It's going to be epic.
But I have to now say that Bjork is my number one "I can't wait for it" artist. Everyone is going to have to help me pick up my brain after it dribbles out of my ears.

How is it "cutting a bit thin". There is no crossover in genre. That is about as diverse as you are going to get at any festival. Am I missing something here. I mean I think I described each acts genre pretty well. Feel free to correct if I am wrong

Purity Ring, Tame Impala(if they are placed on Thursday), or Father John Misty
Alt-J could definitely be a Thursday big act. They've blown up this past year. I could be overrating them but here in KC, they are getting a ton of radio play. They were here in December at a soldout show in a 3k venue but missing a band member due to illness (they played anyway and people were very impressed). So, they are coming back in April and the show soldout in 2 minutes and tickets are going for $50 plus on Stubhub. Maybe they havent hit it as big in other parts of the country though. A conflict with Alt-J and Purity Ring would be horrible. I am not one for sitting through sets to secure a spot but I would do it to be in the tent for Alt-J.
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.
