I heard Mute Math is playing again. They're going to freak out because they're huge fans of The Police.

 

[coemgen]

Oh, wait, I see them on your list now.

I'll just be over here if you need me.

 

[AtomicBono]

Tool and Wilco...two bands I definitely want to see live before I die...

bonnaroo's lineup is pretty good but Coachella definitely kills it this year. but I doubt I can make it to either

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

man, i might go to this cuz i'm only a couple hours away

i wish i could go to coachella but that's definitely not gonna happen for me.

 

[impy13]

man, i might go to this cuz i'm only a couple hours away

Doooooo it.

This lineup is better than Coachella's anyway.

Furthermore, there will probably be another 15-20 bands added to this lineup, which I'm sure means My Morning Jacket.

Hoping for Ryan Adams and maybe a nice little post-rock band or two.

 

[bono_man2002]

The White Stripes!!

 

[Anu]

Perhaps no Jacket on the first list because?????

Because it's like "duh, the Jacket always plays the 'roo?"

What if they're doing the European festivals this year instead?

Only TVOTR and Arcade Fire of the original fake leak are not on here and that's too bad.

.....and Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Modest Mouse, the Shins, et al



Still a killer lineup.

 

[Anu]

y'allready to let this thread die?

I'm going to meditate and obsess on this every day until . . . .

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Doooooo it.

i might. i'll have to see, all my vacation time this year is accounted for so i'd have to hope i liked who was playing on my days off

It appears to be official that My Morning Jacket are taking the rest of the festival season off this year to write and record a new album.

I can live with that.

So far, interest among my music-going pals in making this trip has been lukewarm at best. I'm trying to do some hardcore convincing, although there are more factors working against my going than there are for it.

I'm getting ahead of myself here, but if the Mavericks make the NBA Finals, it will be going on during the Bonnaroo dates. I'd rather stay in Dallas and spend the money on a ticket to an NBA Finals game. That's, of course, if they make the Finals. Also, I could just save the money because that's a month's rent for me. That would also include me not missing five or six days of work to go to Tennessee.

Decisions, decisions.

 

[Anu]

Mavs vs. The White Stripes, I mean Pistons.
hmmmmm.

Last year, they had the basketball games on live in the Movie Tent.

But TOOL will not play halftime at half court.

So it seems Anu... I wish i could go but family and work prevail this year..

have a blast this weekend and please post about your time there.. And would love to see pics too if you do that..

 

[powerhour24]

I was psyched for last year's but too many things came up at home, so I planned on it this year, but then the line-up was announced and it just didn't seem worth a trip to Tenn. for. I chose Austin City Limits instead.

As for "god of music festivals", not so much, I think Coachella wins this year having snagged RATM.

IMO.. I think Coachella is the best US festival out there over the last few years.. Their lineups are pretty amazing. I have been to Coachella twice and was just blown away each time..

it's a shame, i could easily drive to and from there this weekend and see who i wanna see. but between how i'm sure traffic will be there, and having to pay the price of essentially the whole festival to go for like one day is a bummer. i don't like anyone on the roster enough to pay almost $200 to see them.

 

[Anu]

Okay, I am biased.

According to my computer, Bonnaroo is a mere 39 miles from my house.

Bonnaroo = Coachella: I will grant a tie I suppose!

Don't get me wrong, I want to do Coachella and Austin City Limits before I die; but I doubt these could nurture the inner closet hippie in me like the 'roo.

But even in terms of the line-up, yes Coachella was great, but Rage and Jesus and Mary Chain and Arcade Fire and Klaxons and all that still does not trump, for me:

Police, White Stripes, Tool, Wilco, Flaming Lips, Ben Harper, Manu Chao, and on and on all in one place.

At Bonnaroo, the music starts at noon-ish and goes to 4am on the two peak days.

Finally: It's just enough!

(Usually, a show leaves unsatisfied. Set is too short. Not ready to stop dancing at 11pm. But not Bonnaroo!)

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

actually in reference to Coachella I was thinking of past lineups not necessarily this year..

I don't blame ya having a favoritism towards 'roo. Being able to dance to the wee hours is very cool...

Hubby went to 'roo a few years ago, he's a deadhead with a infinite range in music tastes...from classical to hard head banging stuff to the Dead to Radiohead, Snow Patrol, U2, Coldplay, Silversun Pickups, Kate Bush, Beatles, Who.. the list goes on and on..
