It says Bjork would be playing a major US festival in the coming months. I am assuming Coachella cause she has been there before but Bonnaroo i would consider a major US festival. Personally if Bjork was at roo i would be pretty excited about that especially if she did anything off of medulla.

[phuture5]

I hope she is there!

[placidcasual79]

yeah i would really like to see her. and i could see her maybe wanting to do a different festival...especially since bonnaroo is getting more diverse in its lineup

[danbird]

If she's not at Bonnaroo, I hope she's gonna do a tour, cause I've gots to see her.

[LIguy]

I do have her on my list for the lineup game, so I am crossing my fingers, but I am with D-bird on this. I would love to see her at the festival, but the tour would be as gratifying.

[ProllySo]

Oh my God. I would have never even seriously considered this before. I would just die.

Talk about "a few surprises"........

[herbalicious]

Bjork? seriously. I'd rather listen to a dying whale washed up on the sea shore.

[danbird]

^^^You should probably go and do that then.

[biff31088]

I hope for those of you who do like her that she is there but shes not someone i would personally want to see but to each his own

[trippindaisy]

Not my cup of tea either, but it's all about diversity, so that's cool.

[poopzilla33]

i enjoy bjork and would love to see her there

Thanks for putting it tactfully.
I agree with you - should she be added, there will be plenty other acts scheduled at the same time that I can see instead. So no worries, hope she's there for those of you that are big fans -

I have seen Bjork 3 times in Chicago('94,'95,'02) and always felt I would enjoy her show in an outside setting. Lets all hope. I always wondered why not too many female artists play Bonaroo?
I would like to see acts like Cyndi Lauper, Michelle N'degeocello, Sinead O'Connor, Or Ani Difranco play too.

[CCRGMac]

I'd love to see how she could perform Medulla live, it's 98% vocal with all kinds of effects and stuff. Mind you, has anyone seen Jamie Lidell?

Personally? I despise Bjork. However, I could see her being at Bonnaroo, most definitely.

[dudezer47]

Bjork and Tom Waits are at the top of my wishlist. If both got booked, I would burst.

And yes, they are overtly artsy. I know. I like artsy pants music.

[isaac]

If she played, would she headline? I don't know anything about her, except that she played (headlined?) Coachella a few years ago.

[ziggyandthemonkeys]

^Definatly not, im suprised she even headlined coachella.

[steveternal]

I'm not surprised she can headline Coachella, but I don't think she'd be a headliner at 'roo. Not unlike Beck (headlined C but not B).

[joga]

If Bjork came to Bonnaroo I would be in heaven.

I really, really hope she does it. I don't care when she plays, or where, I'll be there.

[cdevaney]

The Sugarcubes recently reformed for a show in Iceland. That would be pretty cool!

[joga]

Ahhhhhhh!!! So awesome. I want to move to Reykjavik. Especially now!

Difranco has played the roo before. She's on my list of those who will probably be there this year.

[cdevaney]

Ani has taken a big break lately, first due to carpal tunnel (sp) and now with the impending birth of her own little righteous baby. I'm not sure when she's going to resume a touring schedule. She generally doesn't like big corporate festivals and I was surprised to see her in 04. I remember reading an interview with her years ago about how happy she was to be playing a little folk festival the same weekend as Woodstock '99 instead of a giant corporate thing. I don't think that she's really that terribly concerned with getting her music out there anymore.

Side note: did anybody see her soundcheck that year? We were walking around Centeroo mid-morning and heard her distinct guitar sound and got treated to her 2nd stage soundcheck. She must've been out there for about a half hour playing songs and snippets of songs. It was kinda cool.
