absolutely. it's a great lineup, excited about this year. they finally bought the land the festival is held on, so there should be some more permanent fixtures in place this time around.

These are the acts I am interested in:

Wilco
Flaming Lips
Xavier Rudd
Cold War Kids
Rodrigo y Gabriela

Really it's quite an impressive list. I would be interested in Franz Ferdinand too if they weren't such a crap live act.

I'll more than likely be going this year. I'm particularly excited in

The White Stripes
The Flaming Lips
Franz Ferdinand
Damien Rice
The Decemberists
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Lewis Black
David Cross

And that's probably not the complete lineup. My friend said they announced Radiohead being there last year just a couple weeks before the festival.

It's nice to see the Annuals getting some headlining time. I saw them open for Elf Power, and I was really impressed.

The National ****ing rock.

Also, RX Bandits... WTF?

I would go but I hate festivals like this and hippies smell bad.

Edit: The Slip are on there too, hotness.

I'm free 2night after my LARPing guild meets.
The problem with these kinda things is they have all these good bands, but they all play at the same time and the rest of the day is just dumb shit you don't even want to see. Until they pace the days better Bonnaroo and Coachella can suck it.

Nice, Rodrigo y Gabriela, I just picked up their album, I really like it.

I think I might be going with a few friends, schedules permitting.

I saw the Roots back in August. Pretty fun show.

If all goes according to play, I should be attending this year.

Going to Bonnaroo last year was perhaps the best experience of my life. Radiohead was there, which certainly helped, but there were tons of other cool bands to check out, not to mention the whole vibe of the place was intoxicating (har har...). I haven't decided if I want to go this year, but I'm sure that if you go, you won't regret it.

Last year, the lineup kicked the crap outta Coachella.....this year I guess it's more of a draw. I may still go if I have friends that are making the trip.

Don't people with legitimate corporate jobs get vacation time?

One of my best friends is going.

I kinda wish I was but a) I don't have the cash and b) the fact that Wilco, Feist and The Decemberists all have overlapping sets would really piss me off.

Would go to see Sasha and Digweed, that's about it. But seeing them play would be worth the cost of admission... too bad I don't live anywhere near Tennessee.

Wow what an incredible line-up. I saw the Police two weeks ago in Vancouver and they absolutely rocked. Easily the best band I've seen live in some time and will be worth the price of admission alone.

Of course the GAF elite wankers won't agree, but there's plenty of other artists there. Enough for everyone (almost).

Ugh, just woke up and my body is still hurting from bonnaroo. It was a good four days though, tons of drinking and smoking, not to mention a lil shrooms and acid here and there. Music was phenomenal, with only The National letting me down. Tortise was a really good surprise, I've heard some things about them so I checked em out and I was blown
away
. Another surprise was Mute Math, their drummer is quite spectacular. Lewis Black was only so-so funny, but David Cross, as well as his opener Azis Ansari (from Human Giant), had me almost pissing myself. I wanted to make it to Dimitri Martin, however the line had to be a mile long or so by the time I showed up.

Highlight of the show had to be the Flaming Lips, I ate a shit ton of shrooms then wandered over there by myself and it was like candy canes and gumdrops were raining down from the sky. Balloons were all over the place, and there were giant glowstick men walking around, tons of people were dancing on stage, naked girls on stilts were all over the place, and it seemed like the stars were singing too. It was a totally joyous freakout.

The Police was supposed to be a two and a half hour show, and when it was only an hour and a half in he played Roxanne. All 80,000 people there collectively thought "well, it looks like Sting shot his load early". It turned out that the version of Roxanne he played was ~20 minutes long. 15 minutes of it was him just saying roxanne over and over again, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. It must have been a tough time for the people playing the drinking game where you have to drink whenever Sting says Roxanne :lol .


Best freakout had to be some deadneck screaming "Don't sell me GOD" hysterically, then falling down, getting back up, and screaming running and just totally freaking out until security got to him. Another good freakout was this dude who looked totally paranoid wandered over to my campsite, claiming that the helicopters were following him and were going to anally probe him :lol. My buds and I went along with his notion for a few minutes until we finally told him that they were only there to check for brush fires as TN has been in its worst drought in 100 years. When we told him, he was like "OMG thank you so much, I had been so worried the past few hours, thanks man".

All in all it was a good time, the 90-100 degree weather and no rain was tough, and I didn't know deserts existed in tennessee until I went to bonnaroo, and only two people died the entire time (which was thankfully welllll below my expectations).

I guess if you enjoy someone with just pretty good material who has to act incredibly angry and say "****!" every two seconds in order to get a laugh, then yea.

i can't add anything to that, that set was fn incredible

add the annuals to my list of disappointments, the mix was bad which didn't help the awful lead vocals... and i like the album :(

dj shadow opened and closed strong, but played too much of his new shit in the middle to keep me interested, i made my way to the back and laid down

superjam was fantastic with ben harper, questlove and john paul jones

the roots put on a great show, including a 20 minute medley of past pop and hiphop classics
