Bullshit.

Holy Shit.

The Jacket. Andrew Bird. Robert Randolph. Blues Traveler. RADIOHEAD. Medeski Martin and Wood. Devendra Banhart! Good lord. Worth my $120 right there.

I didn't think it was going to be possible to compare to last year's lineup, but damn that's awesome!!!

[Specialist]

wow!

i was in shock when i first read the lineup. but the excitement is starting to set in.

[ChiefOKONO]

just saw this.. folks, i think the Jacket is going to be back soon!
WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Specialist]

officially confirmed.

http://www.bonnaroo.com/2005/

looks like they've added Phil and Friends

[sweatboard]

Radiohead means I'm going but I was really hopeing for some of these bands..............Wilco, Sufjan Stevens, Beck, Iron and Wine, Black Crows, Flaming Lips, Spoon, Kings Of Leon, Drive By Truckers, deerhoof, Dead Meadow, Comets On Fire, Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, Built To Spill, Sonic Youth,

[Specialist]

Beck is confirmed, and i'm sure they will make several additions in between now and June 16th.

I hope it's some good shit because I'm actually really dissapointed right now.  If they add fucking Widespread I'm fucking not going, I'll fucking fly to Cochella.................and if they give widespread more than one set I'll stop by bonnaroo on my way to California and take a shit on each one of thier stages.  ok at least they got Radiohead, Beck, Cat Power, Stephen Malkmus, Andrew Bird, Devendra Banhart, Dungen and My Morning Jacket.  Blues Traveler and Tom Petty are cool but I think they could have done much better.  Replace those two with Wilco and Black Crows and we would be talking.

Coachella is kicking Bonnaroo's ass this year there is just no way around it.  Still a few rounds left hopefully Roo can finish strong.  

[Specialist]

I am personally psyched about the roo lineup. I'd pay $150 just to see MMJ and Radiohead. Let alone Beck, Devendra, and Malkmus,etc.

and imo, i think the lineup for Coachella is a dissapointment. I guess marketing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Bloc Party as headliners just doesn't appeal to me, but to each his own.

1.  I think Bonnaroo might have a better vibe than Coachella.  But that's only from one visit to Bonnaroo and zero to Coachella, so it's a very uninformed opinion.  I just remember seeing a picture of Chloe Sevigny in short shorts at Coachella, and thought  "Hm.  I don't know if that's the scene I'm looking for."

2.  Brian, I agree about Widespread Panic, but I think that's part of what draws a huge amount of people to Bonnaroo.  Like, if I recall, about 80% were there for the jamband-y, late night vibe.  

um, that's it really.  

on edit: no it's not.  I think the Bonnaroo lineup is AMAZING.  I keep looking at it, and then keep trying to psyche myself into getting excited about tent city again... ;)

It's going to be interesting to see the Widespread crowd trying to dance to radiohead.  I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying it's not going to look good.

It's going to be interesting to see the Widespread crowd trying to dance to radiohead.  I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying it's not going to look good.  

there's plenty of Radiohead tracks that could be classified as IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), so it's not that far fetched....

now, Break Dancing to Black Sabbath, that's weird...

[sweatboard]

Well, it may be idm, as a matter of fact I think Radiohead is amazing music to dance to but, it seems a little uptempo and intense for the Widespread gang, they are going to either have to adopt an entirely diffrent style or copletley adapt thier already tried and true moves which have been ingrained in thier head for so long and through so many acid trips that it could be very confusing for them.  I'm just invisioning some bare foot 30 year old woman with dirty dreadlocks and a flower skirt winding her way through Everyghing In It's Right Place and it doesn't seem to go so well in my head.  Well, they have 4 and a half months to practice so mabey this will revolutionalize the hippy dance strategies.

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

oh now, hippies are people too.  imagine that stereotype being overlaid on MMJ fans...are we all male, 30ish, overweight, drunken middle management types, stinking of bourbon shots and Miller High Life, with our buzz hair cuts and Polo shirts, driving into town in our Range Rovers and 2.5 kids and bike racks, replete with our cheerleader wives and overextended credit cards?  I think not....

[sweatboard]

well, your assesment started out good, unfortunatly none of us can afford range rovers.  Seriously though, the hippies have thier own hippie scene complete with music and dance moves, to throw Radiohead in and leave Widespread out (so far, fingers crossed) is to mess with the very fabric of thier existance.  Hippies might come depressed for the first time in the known existance of the universe.  What then, who's going to answer for that.  If the hippies get deppresed about thier biggest music festival it could lead to long term depression, a bunch of depressed hippies walking around could signal the end of the world, and wouldn't it be ironic that Radiohead caused the end of the world.
