so everyone knows about the harper/spoon/ween/keller timing. i think those bands were on everyones 'need to see' list before we saw the schedule. so why do you think they did it? you think maybe they thought if they were spread out every1 would be there and not at the other shows? this is heartbreaking.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
The Saturday afternoon clusterf@$k is a Bonnaroo tradition. Every year on Saturday afternoon there are 5 stages and four bands I absolutely want to see.
Aside from Headliner/Late Night, those are the best timeslots. So they give them to higher caliber acts. Usually almost everyone has the higher-caliber acts on their must see lists. If you don't have all of them than you proabably have 2 or 3 of them.
As others have pointed out, this isn't new. It's fairly traditional and dates back as far as I can remember. With any big festival you'll have acts you wanted to see when you bought the ticket, that you never actually see at the festival because of conflicts. There is really no escaping this little conundrum.
I will also say that from my experience, there are more people inside centeroo and the mainstage during this timeslot b/c it is right before the headliner. So it helps to spread everyone out a little bit.

When I first bought my tickets and thought about how many bands I was seeing for my ticket price I immediately realized that I probably wouldn't see all of everyone that I was paying for. It's ok though, because no matter what you're gonna be happy where you end up.
By scheduling numerous bands together that may draw decent crowds they thin the crowds out making it a more enjoyable time for everyone. Id rather comfortably see 5 bands then be crowded in, uncomfortably for 10 bands. just my opinion though
HEADED TO BONNAROO!!!!
