You seem pretty set on it, and I don't want to be annoying, but I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't echo what everyone else is saying. Go Thursday, ESPECIALLY if you've never been before....

Yeah, I'm still trying to soak it in, but I think I hate this schedule. Every festival does it, but Friday is the best example I've ever seen of "First couple hours, who gives a fuck" > "Every...

I've hit sunrise twice at Bonnaroo. In 2007, Sasha & Digweed played from 1:30-6:00ish, and in 2008 Kanye West started his set around 4:30 am.

Yeah, this will be my sixth bonnaroo and I've never talked to anyone that wasn't camping. I think it's a pretty essential part of the experience. Also, I can't imagine how much of a pain in the ass...

Very pleased to be going back this year. With the adds, it's definitely my favorite US festival lineup of the year.

Weather is definitely the major year-to-year X factor of bonnaroo. People who went in 2009 and/or 2012 think the weather is perfect, people who went in 2007 think it's always a total dust storm, and...

Yeah, I totally agree that the festivals are completely different. I was just talking specifically about vibe. Which depends on what you consider "the vibe"...haha.

Continue to show that winning personality.

And no, the vibe isn't really that different.

I didn't even watch the video. But if you're judging the festival based on the attractiveness of a small subset of its attendees, then you are a horrible person.

I'm going VIP this year.

Wow. What a worthless human being.

Uhhhhhh...Coachella 2009? I mean, he played last, but what you're saying means absolutely nothing.

Wow, I know the guy writing (). His wife is my best friend in our grad program. I'm going to try to get things into the book...haha.

Should've gone to Frank Ocean.

1-3: Sigur Ros/ATDI/Jack White
4: Bloc Party
5: Afghan Whigs
6: Frank Ocean
7: War on Drugs

Fest itself has VASTLY improved since I went last. Crowd has continued to get worse.

I had someone tell me it would be about 45 minutes from Rosemont to Jackson, barring any issues. Were they full of shit? I'd just rather not have to make transfers/have to walk long distances before...

I just had a local tell me "the 'L' doesn't go to Rosemont," and then give me some elaborate way to get to the park from Mount Prospect. She's crazy, right? Because that's my whole plan. Drive to the...

I'm just going to re-post this here because the lolla board is horrible:

I haven't been since '06, so this has undoubtedly changed. What is the rail situation like at most of the stages? Just a...

Hope this is a joke.

Weather was absolutely perfect today.

So I was on the way to the show. Going through customs into Canada, the border patrol agent asked about my business in Canada. I said we were going to a concert, he asked what concert, we said...

I've got the corridor from Toronto down through Buffalo to Albany on lock. If you're willing to drive 3 hours in any direction, it's like living in a real city.

So, because you've seen the majority of the bands on the line-up all ready, none of the people going to this festival can possibly be music lovers? Immature black-and-white thinking.

Inclusion of Sharon Van Etten and exclusion of At the Drive-In makes this statement obviously taste-driven and therefore invalid.

Scheduling paradigm shift? It wasn't always the way it is now, maybe they are changing it up a little this year. The Avicii/Justice/Flo/ATDI billing make no sense with the current system.

Fun game. Imagine Coachella is now in early august and Lollapalooza is in April, and they announced their line ups accordingly. How boring is Lollapalooza with the first ATDI/Afghan Whigs/Sigur...

I don't really know what people were expecting if they don't like this line up. Sure, it's definitely inferior to Coachella, but it easily trumps many past Lollapalooza line ups, and it DOMINATES...

The two weekends before the last week of the semester? Yeah, I'd say so.

If it's the real lineup, then it's pretty clear that Coachella > Lollapalooza > Bonnaroo > not going to any festival at all.

And since Coachella is held at just about the worst possible time of...

I need beginner turntable help. My second turntable, but my first barely counted (couldn't get to the innards at all, built in speakers, etc.) Every time I play an LP it runs at the correct speed for...

I think Justice will be the third headliner. They are way too big of a draw for anything but the main field. I would love it if they switched it up a little this year and put a band like Sigur Ros on...

New York is not New England.

Ticket limit for these is usually 2, right?

This really is a great festival. I'm either doing this or Lolla this year, and I would rather do Osheaga, but it's all line up dependent. Young the Giant is also confirmed.

Well fuck.

I just assumed that bites were lethal and scratches/wound-zombie gunk contact was infectious but non-lethal (or potentially lethal much longer-term). And the Jenner whisper was that one of the...

So the waste tickets will be going on sale at some unannounced time (probably early in the morning) on March 8th. Will they all go on sale at the same time, or will it be staggered?

It's kind of frustrating actually. Put this and Pitchfork together and you have one really great festival. Shit, even just trade Bassnectar for GY!BE and this festival would be well worth it. But...

They're going to play both. One festival Friday (Lolla I would guess), Toronto on Saturday, other festival on Sunday (Osheaga).

I don't think it's likely, just possible. I'm sure they will play Lolla instead, I was just hoping to not have to, you know, go to Lolla. And for the record, yes, I would pay an additional $20 to...

I was saying I don't necessarily think those will be the dates. Or maybe that July 12th will be the end of their run in Europe and they will come back to play in the states, starting at pitchfork. I...

You do realize the dates haven't been announced yet, correct? July 13th-15th is an assumption.

I'm hoping for ATDI headlining.

Extremely small sample size.

Best way to prove a point.

Eh, this lineup is ok. Coachella is much better, but that's not doable for some of us on the right coast. I'm thinking they're not getting a quick sell out this year, so I'll wait until the schedule...

I think it'll either be Beach Boys > RHCP shifted earlier, or Neil Young and Crazy Horse > RHCP shifted later.

I'm pretty sure he's not.

I'm disappointed in this board. That fake line-up has been floating around for about a week. A guy admitted to making it.
