Bonnaroo Speculation thread

[EasyRyder]

that last one looks pretty polished...if it is a fake someone has way too much time on their hands.

by the looks of it, that would mean MMJ would be on the What Stage for another late-night set? Unless they played main stage over Furthur...but now I'm speculating about a speculation.

[itrainmonkeys]

Don't get your hopes up about those posters. They are fakes. 100% certain about that.

I'm still hoping Bonnaroo will have MMJ.....but those posters are fakes from Inforoo message board.  :D

[ALady]

Thanks for confirming, itm   :)  I didn't have time to check Inforoo last night.  This fake is a pretty impressive one, though - all the names are spelled correctly!   ;D

[ms. yvon]

My Morning Jacket / Further / Dispatch / R.E.M. / Wilco

I was just thinking about that clue... Lyrics to Anytime?

[el_chode]

Seriously, fuck them so hard if U2 is a headliner and they include Drake. Yes, I know I can simply not see their sets. But the thing is, I still have to co-exist with their tasteless fans (apologies to those of you who might like either one of those insults to music, but if you're here, you're not a member of that legion). Have some standards as to how pop you want to go. To me, if you take a step towards some label-hyped nobody like Drake, your next step is Ke$ha, which is dangerously close to Justin Bieber/Jonas Brothers headlining.

[el_chode]

And if those were real, do you really think that artists like Ben Kweller, Ted Leo, or Trail of Dead would be buried in the small print? I'm not saying they get marquee, but usually you put the real niched fan base/up and comers in small print at the bottom. Maybe Trail has faded over the past decade, but I'd assume Kweller and Leo have more recognition than say Darius Rucker in this day and age. Or definitely Janelle Monae.

no seriously U2 would be enough to make me say fuck Roo. I know there are 100+ bands but when I pay 300$ i feel like Im giving the most of my money to the headliners.

[el_chode]

Yeah, but the rest of that lineup is awesome, even if fake. U2 and Drake are enough to make me consider sticking solely with Mountain Jam, but providing I don't fail the NY bar in a month, I'd like to make 'Roo my reward.

[e_wind]

i have such a delimma on my hands. I don't know if its possible finacially or schedule wise to swing waka and roo

[itrainmonkeys]

Over at Inforoo.com (bonnaroo message boards) a poster named Insider confirmed MMJ for Friday night at Roo. She hasn't been wrong the past two years and leaks us info close to the lineup release.
:)

[e_wind]

Grace Potter has been "confirmed" over on inforoo.

[Penny Lane]

Drumroll............................

[el_chode]

IT'S POSTED AND I CAN'T READ IT BECAUSE THE SITE ISN'T WORKING AAAAAARRRGGGGHHHH

[el_chode]

WTF EMINEM?

[scosby2]

eminem and lil wayne...lineup looks good...i'm not regretting only goin to the hangout though

[e_wind]

I'm sorry but I'm kind of embarrassed for how "commercialized" that is.

[scosby2]

I'm sorry but I'm kind of embarrassed for how "commercialized" that is.

very true...now i really like arcade fire and all but I just don't see them deserving a headlining spot at the roo...coachella yes. but give me mmj over arcade fire on the farm any day. with that said, i think they did a pretty good job landing eminem. much better than kanye or any other hip hop act out right now. i had a good time last year at jay-z but i wish it would have been eminem

[Penny Lane]

would have been cool to see them on stage with Prince (and no REM?)
i thought those two were a lock
