Pre-headliners? Feb 13, 2007 15:36:32 GMT -5

Post by ziggyandthemonkeys on Feb 13, 2007 15:36:32 GMT -5

Who do you guys think should be the pre-headliners?

I say Ziggy Marley - The Police
Wolfmother (big enough?) - Tool
Ben Harper - WSP

I think the hard part of guessing the pre-headliners is that the band should fit with who they're leading into, but they should also be big enough, and fit the time slot as well.

How about Flaming Lips late-night Which Stage? It's not really a pre-headliner, but it's still a damn-big spot.

I want to have a good spot, but I would really hate to sit through Wilco. Sorry to the fans.

White Stripes before Tool
Ziggy before Police
SCI before WSP

Second stage preheadliners will most like be:
Harper Friday
Wilco Saturday
MMJ Sunday

If it works out that way, I will only be mainstage preheadliner on Friday.

As for late nights wow... Flaming Lips, Roots, and hopefully some added bands: Volta!!!

I'm thinking White Stripes before Tool and either Harper or Wilco before WSP. I can't see SCI doing anything but a massive late night blowout.

As for The Police, I don't think they've announced the band playing before them, although I could see Manu Chao getting that spot.

And Mrs. Featherbottom, over here we call them sausages.

Fri: Wolfmother>White Stripes>TOOL
Sat: Ziggy Marley>Man Chao>The Police
Sun: Gov't Mule>Kings of Leon>Widespread Panic

If they do a Thurs nite headliner I would guess Kings of Leon...& if so, replace them with Wilco on Sunday evening.

Ratdog was before the Word on Sunday then Panic Bobby came out and played with Panic. I would much rather see Ratdog on Saturday this year.

Am I the only one who doesn't consider the pre-headline spot special?

My sense of time gets so messed up at Bonnaroo that being on the What Stage at 4pm means nothing to me. It's just another decision I have to make among the numerous conflicts. The headliner is the only thing that seems to matter since they are the only show in town at that time.

Pre-headline is key. Beck totally made the wait for Radiohead much, much easier last year. If you love the pre-headliner as much as the headliner, you don't have to sacrifice seeing another band you want in order to camp out in a spot for the headliner.

Ahhh. As I have no intentions of camping out for any act my above statement holds. (I am quite content to groove in the back). I wasn't even close for Radiohead (back by the soundboard) and it was still waaaaaay too packed in.
Never again.

Tool is known for taking bands that sound nothing like them on tour with them. They have had some weird choices for openers.
