better not be giving me a boner for nothing!!  :D

Jacket is "pre-headling" before Arcade Fire? I can gladly miss that for Wakarusa.

[baconus66]

Actually thats not what insider said

She said she isnt sure of the order

Inforoo is guessing AF headline into MMJ late-nite on the What

[e_wind]

I could get behind that if thats what it means.

I read in a different thread on inforoo that this is what this insider character means as far as scheduling is that Primetime and Late night are not the same. Prime time is pre headliner followed by headliner Friday and Saturday. Late night is differnt and Closer is different. HOW EVER I only creep on inforoo about once a week for a few minutes so Im not a reputable source for bonnaroo information.

The moderator for InfoRoo just posted on facebook

"Yes..they are co-headlining with Arcade Fire on friday..just found out a few minutes ago"

(for whatever that's worth)

[itrainmonkeys]

insider (who hasn't been wrong the past two years) said this:

Let's finish off Friday's lineup - I think I will make a lot of people happy when I reveal......

My Morning Jacket (can't recall which act is first - but there are your 2 for Friday)

[jmk]

If AF and MMJ are indeed playing back to back on Friday nite, it will probably look something like this:

Arcade Fire: 8:30 PM - 11:00 PM

MMJ: 12:00 AM - Whenever they decide our brains are entirely melted

when is the actual line-up announcement?  i can't find anything on the b'roo website.

I'm so glad I'm not into this Bonaroo lineup clue-guessing Insider inforoo mystery whatnot nonsense.  When I get yanked around like the way Bonaroo seems to release their lineup info, I go limp. :P

I thought this year I would see what all the excitement is about.  The more I hear, though, the less interested I've become.  I'd love to spend a long weekend with forum peeps, would LOVE to see a MMJ set at Bonaroo (has there ever been a "bad" Jacket show at this fest?), but I'm thinking I'd be putting up with a lot of bullshit much of the rest of the time, spend a lot of $$$, and would rather spread it around to 3 or 4 regional shows in New England, NY, etc. this summer/fall.

Fortunately, Mountain Jam solved my problem.  Good luck to you 'rooheads.  I'm not peeing on your parade, just an outside observation from an ignorant slob.

i personally think that this year The Hangout Festival might trump Bonnaroo as far as the "less-bullshit" factor. 'Roo might have gotten too big, too expensive, and lost it's intimacy and this lineup announcement delay due to the Stones is just one of the many signs it's not really an every-man's festival anymore. We can't all wait around for last minute planning and skyrocketing prices on everything available at the festival. And I'm not even mentioning the muggy heat in the middle of a mud bowl.

They better have a good god damn lineup this year. I'll keep some money on the reserves just in case some epic shit might go down, but I don't expect to do it next year if this Hangout Festival pans out like I think it will.

My problem with 'Roo is that as it has expanded its sounds (good) it has expanded the crowd (bad) many of them are just there for the music (good) but certain bands draw certain douchebags (bad). And while Bisco has always produced its share of shady mofos (bad), the inclusion of bands that appeal more to the "me" generation or just a lot of bored fratboys spending dad's money can ruin an experience (worst).

All in all, whether or not I go to ANY festival depends on whether I have to retake the bar. If I don't, Hangout has the more solid lineup, Mountain Jam is the closest, but 'Roo is 'Roo and it's the 10th year and if MMJ has an open-ended time slot that will trump ANYTHING and justify the price for me.

It should be said that what I like the most about a festie atmosphere is being a dirty derelict "camping" with a bunch of other friendly festie types. Lack of showers doesn't bother me  and I'm fine surviving on clif bars and sweet tea for a few days. I just don't like when you have a bunch of spoiled popped collars trying to act like the farm is Theta Chi running around raping and pillaging other people's tents (happened to friends before)

I'd also like to say that if U2 headlines, it will put me in a moral dilemma. Here's why:

1) They suck, lets just make that plain and clear. NO talent, derivative, boring, every song sounds the same
2) Bono
3) Bono with an audience
4) Bono with an extremely large audience
5) I'd have to admit that I was technically at a U2 concert
6) They have awfully lame fans
7) I can't imagine them being any more riveting live than they are on silicon or digital bits
8) Believe it or not, I have standards
9) IT'S GODDAMN U2

I agree 100%. Im 99% sure I'm not returning to Roo, but there's always the chance. I'm actually hoping Jacket doesn't get an open ended set because that will make my decision perfectly easy

is U2 seriously being considered to headline?  I suppose anything is better than kings of leon.   At least U2 has hits, they'll be as boring as the Police set was.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Radiohead headline or play a late night this year.  New Album, 10th anniversary at Bonnaroo, it's possible.  I think a majority of the acts that are playing hangout will play roo. especially MMW, Ween, Primus, etc all the big names that are staples of bonnaroo.   Anybody with a new record that has come out recently or that is coming out plus old favorites is my guess for this year.   

yac, you're right about roo being a pain in the ass but I think everyone should go once just for the experience of it.   If I went again I'd try and rent an RV or something, or build a hippy cooling tent.   One thing roo sucks at is band placement.  they always put at least two of the sets I want to see up against each other. 

the fans have always been shady their, shakedown has expanded tho.  tons of fake drugs, tons of random drugs.  the most random thing I've heard there drug wise was "Roids, got your roids here!", who the fuck needs steroids at bonnaroo?

[el_chode]

I have a friend that goes on Inforoo. I joined a few years ago and got trolled off there after complaining about the change in styles getting a bit too poppy for a festie. I don't mind Death Cab for Cutie, but if you said "hey, want to go stand in [a sweltering field with no shade/the pouring rain in a puddle of mudd] and listen to mid-tempo music trying to make you think" I'd politely decline.

Anyway, point is, my Inforoo buddy says Radiohead is OUT. It's supposedly WSP and Robert Plant closing out. As far as I know, the Saturday headliner is still the big mystery.

Don't know if the U2 rumors are serious, speculation, or designed to just piss people off. But if you're gonna have such mediocrity as your big name, then I'd prefer KOL because at least they have 3 albums that will rock your shit when played live. Otherwise, it's like having Ke$ha, Bieber, and the Jonas Bros headline with Miley as an Undercard. The names might be huge and carry weight, but no one wants to put up with the side effects.

It's worse than that: "Uno, dos, tres, catorce!" (english translation: 1, 2, 3, 14)

catorce may ring better than cuatro, but how does that make U2's Central/South American and Spanish fans feel??  :-\
