so i was talking to the vice president of AC entertainment(the folks who put on bonnaroo), and he was letting me guess at what bands were gonna be there, and when i said mmj, he said no, because they wanted to be a headliner. he was giving me the run around a lot, so hopefully he's just full of shit.

I've heard rumors about Pearl Jam playing for three years straight it's about time it actually happened.

I'm fairly certain the jacket will be there. My predictions (...and hopes)

Pearl Jam
MMJ
Peter Bjorn and John
Daft Punk
Ryan Adams and The Cardnials (It'd be about fucking time)
Jack Johnson
Band of Horses


...I'll think of more later. ;)

after the 3.5 hour epic set they gave to bonnaroo 2 years ago they deserve to be a headliner...

but they will have to put out an album pre-Bonnaroo to be even considered as a headliner (i would think).

Daft Punk will not be at this upcoming Bonnaroo.  I would not be surprised one bit if all of the other acts you mentioned are performing.  

I cant believe that I am saying this, but I truly think Led Zepplin will be the main headliner at this years Bonnaroo.  I think they are going to play their show in England in a few weeks, from there they will set a huge world tour.  Why not?  
Title: Re: Bonnaroo 08
Post by: DaFunkyPrecedent on Dec 03, 2007, 03:32 PM
sorry...Led Zep is too big for Bonaroo.  If they headline, everyone would go just for them.  They could sell out a 60,000 person venue by themselves.  This is the same reason U2 never headlines fest...they're just too fucking big.  Biggest Band in the world for that matter.  

It seems though Roo has been in the tradition to having one "classic rock", one "alt rock" and one "jam band" headline.  Tool, Police, WSP

this year PJ, Dave and Freinds and Metellica - something along those lines.  But once Coachella give MMJ a chance to headline, maybe the Roo will warm up to the idea.

I wouldn't mind seeing Metallica at Bonnaroo.  Tool last year was one of the best sets of the weekend, if for nothing else because of the faces of all the people that didn't know what to expect.  I defintiely would not be upset to see a Metallica set.

And Led Zeppelin might not be too bad either  ;)

That's what makes me nervous. I think they might be. We'll see what happens with this show next Monday, but I'm unconvinced that these guys can go out there and get it done. And they look AWFUL on the cover of the new Rolling Stone.
Here's my hope for the headliners:
Neil Young (To fulfill the "classic rock," also to kick everyone's ass)
Pearl Jam (to fulfill the "alt-rock")
Trey Anastasio (back from rehab, to fulfill the jamband)
sub-headliners:
Jay-Z (because Bonnaroo needs a big-name rap act!!!)
Arcade Fire
My Morning Jacket
Bob Dylan

Ryan Adams

Just surfed in, looking for Bonnaroo info.

I was apalled MMJ didn't play last year, really hoping they can make it happen in 2008. That late night show 2 years ago was un-believable.  Legendary.

I bet LZ will really play 2008, despite what Superfly says.  LZ will have a large North American tour, I'm betting, and Bonnaroo will only be 1 stop.

It's good for me, It'll protect me he-he-he.

Well, I'm going with an RV full of people, so I'll think we'll have to bring buy it in bulk.

Everybody seems to be putting in their 2 cents about who they want at Bonnaroo, so here's mine:

My Morning Jacket (of course)
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
Radiohead
Trey Anastasio (hopefully, he could do Oysterhead again if Les and Stewart ain't busy)
Neil Young
Phil Lesh & Friends/Bob Weir & Ratdog/anything Dead related
Gov't Mule/The Allman Brothers Band/anything with Warren Haynes or Derek Trucks
Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals
Pearl Jam (who knows maybe they'll be there this year)
Widespread Panic
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
Kings Of Leon
Ziggy Marley
Wilco
The Flaming Lips
Hot Tuna
Keller Williams
Title: Re: Bonnaroo 08
Post by: Mikemaniax on Jan 09, 2008, 01:00 PM
And if Led Zepppelin ain't there, but Robert Plant is with Alison Krauss, that's cool. At least maybe there will be some Zep or Zep-related material involved. Maybe he'll bring The Strange Sensation and/or Krauss will bring Union Station. I saw Plant opening for The Who in 2002, right after John Entwistle died, and he practically stole the show, he even came out and did an encore. And I never saw an opening act get an encore, EVER!

Of course, that was until I saw MMJ opening for Pearl Jam, Memorial Day Weekend, 2006. The closed their set with Anytime, but the reaction was so great that they came back out and did Magheetah.

Since then, I've been absolutely hooked on MMJ. So they'd better be at Bonnaroo this year.

You can change Pearl Jam from rumor to definite.  The mods over at the PJ message board have posted to say that they're going to be making an announcement late Tuesday night.  They mention a mockingbird (state bird of Tennessee) and coffee (Coffee County) in their post.

well, Walter, that's a long haul but i'd say its definately worth it (i'm guessing...the longest i've driven is an hour plus 3-8 in line).  

We won't really know how long they'll play until the schedule comes out.  If it's late night (please, oh please!) it will be long.  If there's someone playing after them it will be one set w/o encore.

questions...how long do you think they'll play for? another long epic set? or an hour set like at lolla? anything i should know about getting tickets? i've never been, so bare with me...more questions to come...thanks in advance...

My guess is they will be sub headliner, probably before PJ. If so...about 1 1/2 hours. I doubt they will be late night again. If they put them on at the same time as Sigur Ros my head will explode.

Check out the Lars Ulrich interview at bonnaroo.com...I guess I feel a little better about them coming after watching it.  I probably won't go see them and I'll be disappointed if they headline a night...but I can accept their attendance.

Could've done without the continuous Napster bitching, though...let it go Lars.

I watched some of it. Is he still talking about that? Douche.

Judging by this poster, Kanye's set might be worth checking out...

Well, I won't be going to Bonnaroo, it'd be kind a haul for me. I do think that the line-up looks pretty solid though, and if I lived anywhere East of the Mississippi I'd be there.

Yes, Lars is a major ass hole, and Metallica's output has slowed and album quality declined over the past decade plus. To many, they'll be a let-down and outsiders at a festival like Bonnaroo, but they are still ripping live performers, and if you care to join them for their set, they'll rock your fucking face off.

bonnaroo.com there's a video box in the middle of the page with a bunch of videos to choose from.  There's a cartoon picture of a dude blasting a rainbow of sound out of his amp.  Click play.

Quoteim so sick of people bitching about line ups at fest's.  If you dont want to go to the show, dont go to the show - i'm sure there will be someone else playing at the same time.  Plus, Coachella, Roo and Lolla, dont just let anyone headline - who ever headlines is gonna throw the fuck down.  I'll be at metallica head banging! Then i'll chill out to some sigur Ros and then dance all night to STS9.  open your ears people, it's just music - its all fun!
For the most part I totally agree with you.  I have chosen not to attend Bonnaroo this year.  The dust and dirt have gotten to be much more of a hassle than fun!  I hate that I might miss out on hearing some damn good music, trust me there will be plenty.  I really just feel that the price that you have to pay and for them to throw out Metallica as a headliner is kinda a smack in the face.  I mean really who gives a FUCK ABOUT METALLICA.  Metallica doesnt even give a fuck about Metallica.

Ya know what? I don't like Metallica or Kanye West either, but I'm still going to Bonnaroo, because I'd like to experience the whole festival thing at least once in my life. Besides, if by the time that Metallica or Kanye are on and nobody else that I'd like to see is, I can just take a power nap.

If you don't like it don't listen. It's the same argument that you use with idiot conservatives who try to censor TV, Movies, and Music. If you don't like it, change the channel, or don't watch the movie, or change the radio station, or don't buy the record. It's that simple. No, instead your gonna make a huge fuss over the fact that it's there, just so you can get attention.

"AWW!!! I'm mad because Metallica's at Bonnaroo!" So What? What would you rather have? Metallica or say..............................................................................................Britney Spears?

I think I've made my point.

QuoteMain stage will be Pearl Jam, Metallica, and a Jam Band.

Jacket will be Midnight on the Which Stage Saturday night in the same slot as the Lips last year, at least that is my prediction.


how right you are, i thought they would have gotten their first main stage at Roo right before Pearl Jam but this sounds even better:

In the past, artists like Herbie Hancock and John Paul Jones were the "Artists in Residence" and bonnaroo.

Any word on who is/should be this year?
