ThisIsNowhere Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I'm surprised there aren't any threads about this yet, the organizers for Bonnaroo have been announcing the lineup for 2010's festival all day, and so far it's been incredbile! Here's what's been confirmed so far: The Avett BrothersThe Flaming Lips with Stardeath and White Dwarfs perform “Dark Side of the Moon”WeezerMedeski Martin and WoodJohn FogertyCross Canadian RagweedIngrid MichaelsonPhoenixThe xxRegina SpektorMayer Hawthorne & the CountyWaleSteve Martin & the Steep Canyon RangersNorah JonesBassnectarOK GoMonte MontgomeryJay-ZPunch BrothersThievery CorporationGWARShe & HimJimmy CliffTokyo Police ClubKid CudiJapandroidsDr. DogBaaba MaalNeon Indian Zac Brown BandThe National John Prine Dave Matthews BandDave Rawlings Machine Local NativesDropkick Murphys Manchester Orchestra Jeff BeckJay ElectronicaThe Postelles Carolina Chocolate DropsRebelutionDamian Marley & NasNeedtobreatheTenacious DThe Black Keys Jamey JohnsonThey Might Be Giants The Entrance Band LotusNitty Gritty Dirt BandClutchTori AmosThe MelvinsThe DodosKings of LeonThe Dead WeatherRise AgainstDeamau5Martin SextonBlitzen TrapperThe Gaslight AnthemMumford & SonsTrombone Shorty & Orleans AvenueBaronessJulia NunesHere We Go MagicTinariwenThe Disco BiscuitsDiane BirchLuceroIsisMiranda LambertKris KristoffersonLCD SoundsystemStevie Wonder That's the list so far, they're announcing acts all day. Last year's lineup I thought was unbeatable, but I think this one's about beat it by a mile. Plus, there's rumors of Pavement, MMJ, The Stones, Stevie Wonder, and Neil Young attending. And a lot of rumors concerning this year's lineup have been true. I can't wait to see what else they announce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 It's all in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. That lineup's one big yawn to me. There's a (very) small number of acts I'd like to see, but I'd rather see them play their own shows instead of festival sets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 you couldn't pay me to go to bonnaroo or coachella. i'm too old and crotchety to stand around in 3rd world conditions for a weekend and pay a fvckload to do so. most of the bands i am interested in i've already seen.

solace Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 festivals are horrible. that said, of that lineup i only dig: The Avett BrothersJohn FogertyPhoenixThe xxWaleJay-ZShe & HimDr. DogThe National John Prine Dave Rawlings Machine Local NativesManchester Orchestra Tenacious DThe Black Keys The Melvins not a bad lineup, but not overly exciting (yet) either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThisIsNowhere Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yeah, there's still a lot to be announced. There's already quite a few I'd like to see. And there's still a few headliners that haven't been announced yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ms. yvon Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 i can't close the announcement page... one cool thing about this meted out announcement: it gives weight to each announcement: time for each act to register. still...holding out buying a ticket... the last time i went to bonnaroo i had a fantastic time! and i credit my owning bitchin rain/snow shoes from getting schooled at bonnaroo in 2004. (for the record: it is pouring rain in Los Angeles today, and my fab rain boots are at home, by my front door. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 So I'm seeing Bonnaroo's tweets of bands for its lineup and with two out of every three, seemingly, I'm just like, 'Ugh.' Kings of Leon, Zac Brown Band, Dead Weather, Dave Matthews Band? Not that I would be going anyway, but compared to previous years it sounds not so great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThisIsNowhere Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Cool, Mumford & Sons will be performing. Always wanted to see them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tugmoose Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 last year had me debating whether to buy an Element and go. This year, not even close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I do not understand people complaining about bands they don't like being at festivals. If there's enough you do like, who gives a shit about who you don't like being there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 i dig a bunch of the recent additions: The Gaslight AnthemBlitzen TrapperCalexicoMumford & Sons The DodosJohn Butler TrioLCD SoundsystemKris Kristofferson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hixter Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I was just looking at the prices on the Bonnaroo website: Tickets: $250Shuttle from airport: $60Tent rental: $750RV rental: $3200Hotel: $1200 I think I'd rather fly across the Atlantic and wallow in European festival mud for prices like that.

bobbob1313 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Huh? Or you could just buy a $100 tent and drive to the festival. Not sure why you'd have to rent a tent from them, or do the RV or hotel. It's not like those are mandatory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 i think that's probably part of my dislike of festivals... is being stuck in the middle of nowhere and having to camp amongst a shit ton of people. that's one benefit of Lolla & Pitchfork, you can stay in a hotel.

Lammycat Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 festivals are horrible.They can be. However, there are fests that are a lot smaller (at least around here) that are really well done in terms of keeping it mellow, keeping the crowd to a manageable size, etc. I've never been to Bonnaroo but have heard positive things about it. Personally, it's too big for my current preferences, but there certainly is a large assortment of music to appeal to most folks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 By my count, 39 bands I'd like to see on the initial lineup. Not bad. I expect a few more, as there's no way Dave Matthews Band is the number one billed artist. And no My Morning Jacket, which seems unlikely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hear ya, solace. There's a place around these parts called Planet Bluegrass (in Lyons, CO just north of Boulder) that puts on several music frests every year and it's kept to 3,000 folks (kind of a mini-Telluride fest). they do a Bluegrass frest, a Folks fest (tweedy played that one a few years ago), and a few others. It's so well done and such a relaxing atmosphere that I don't think it could be topped. It's quick walking distance to town, is right on a river, etc., etc. This is about as big as I'll probably ever do again.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I wouldn't go anywhere near any of these festivals...I'm too old and I sunburn way too easily. But, since Tinariwen and Jeff Beck are on the bill, hopefully they'll come through Atlanta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 A large group may be going with me this year so we're thinking of taking an RV since it would only be about $100 extra a person. Figure that's got to be worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I thought they were close to the What Stage area. I parked in the Breakfast club area last year, so all of the RV parking is closer than what I was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Central Scrutinizer Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I have debated going to this the last two years. my kids are 18 and 13, and I'm thinking it's about time. The youngest was too immature to deal with it; now I wonder if they're willing to deal with the rough conditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jc4prez Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 @ one wing they should be fine, you may want to keep an eye on 13 year old though. There is lots of trouble and youngin could get into at the roo. On another note I think this the first year with a lineup that doesn't make me want to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
