V-fest in Baltimore would be nice 
Against U2 playing Bonnaroo. If you wait all day for U2 getting into the European type Front Pitch all day you will most likely get screwed by VIP's. Yes for Pearl Jam in 2008 and Bruce Springsteen in 2009 I was screwed waiting all day to find myself and others not to get on the front railing due to VIP's! Metallica in 2008 no VIP's took the front rail. If U2 plays Bonnaroo I will think about it but will petition on their crappy board for the festival stop having VIP's entering first for the days headliner. I don't feel that I get my monies worth getting screwed by the festival just to see one band that is usually the headliner. I think U2 would do Friday at Bonnaroo and fly right after the show to Denver. No way they would play on Thursday to open up Bonnaroo.

One can dream can't they.
i wonder if there will even be a V Fest for 2010 considering Pimlico is bankrupt and this year's "Freefest" was at Merriweather Pavillion, IMO too small of a place for this.
U2 at Bonnaroo - thoughts?
I can't quite get my brain around this. U2 will have just started the 2nd leg of their massive stadium tour. Will they be able to "tone it down" for a festival style show?
It might be interesting, but my first thoughts are that it doesn't seem like the right fit.
Anyone else?

AFAIK, they are still running the Preakness at Pimlico so no reason why V Fest can't go on there as well, money is money.
Anyway, do All Points West! Should fit right before the Europe leg kicks off and make up for not having a second show at the Meadowlands. ;-)
(I kid although I would be more than happy if this happened.

It would be the closest thing to a trip back in time Hence worth driving down to Tenessee (or is it Kentucky...)
I've always dreamed of seeing them at a festival.

Bonnaroo is just a rumour, and not even a confirmed one. They're doing Glastonbury.

The promoters of VFest (IMP) run Merriweather. They were able to book the free fest and make $$ on the concessions without paying the $1mm+ rental fee to book the show at Pimlico

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm going to coachella this next year anyway so this would make me pass the f$&@ out.
Bonnaroo is unrealistic for me right now but that would seem to be the more realistic for the festival since I know the police and Bruce Springsteen have headlined bonnaroo before.
Still it's a longshot for coachella in my opinion but I reallllllllly want them there!!

I would guess that U2’s deal with Live Nation prevents them from playing any festivals put on by AEG/Goldenvoice.

Is a non-claw show worth travelling long distance to catch?
What's with suddenly copying Bruce and now being open to play festivals? Aside from $$.

It would not be worth it to go to a festival because if they do European style festival shows and you wait all day to get upfront... Think twice. If its not a LiveNation show chances are that security and the promoter would want to fill in the front pit with their own VIP guests that they can't fit on the side of the stage. I've dealt with it a Bonnaroo 2 years in a row for Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen only on Saturday. Coachella I doubt U2 would play there since their playing a month and a half South of LA.

Yeah, because Bruce is the first person to play festivals
U2 have done a festival. I'm sure the money is crap compared to what they are used to, this is all about exposure.
Only if AEG owns exclusive promoting rights like LiveNation does with U2.
This is a rare arrangement, and LiveNation could always buy out the promoting rights for anything U2 related.
This happens alot. Bob Kraft, owner of the Patriots, up until this past summer, bought out promoting rights from LiveNation just because he did not like them.

They are announcing the lineup right now on myspace.com/bonnaroo. According to billboard.com the headliners are Jay-Z, Stevie Wonder, Dave Matthews Band, and Kings of Leon. Looking like no U2.

The Bonnaroo hardcores had the same attitude that the Glatonbury hardcores do, and it is anti-U2.
I guess I am an anomaly -- hardcore U2 fan and Bonnaroo regular.
I like Bonnaroo and will also see U2 a bunch this coming summer.

as the lineup was announced nearly two weeks ago, i don't see any need to keep this thread open anymore. if anyone wishes to see the lineup, it's here: Bonnaroo - Artists
