The Official (Eternal) Bonnaroo Thread
 

So theres a thread for what looks like each year. I say we create one in general and we just discuss whatever the next one is.

I'm a little hit-or-miss this year. The three headliners are Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Phish. Thats roughly 1.5 acts I'd sit through. Beyond that there are a smattering of good acts interspersed between things I'm not really interested in. Here's the 2012 lineup: (in alpha order)

Bad Brains looks mad out of place in this list...

on what list would they look in place?

One that doesn't include fucking SKRILLEX

Oh, well thats just Bonnaroo. Everyone should look out of place.

I could probably sit through Bad Brains, Misfits tribute, The Roots, and Ben Folds Five. I'm not a huge fan of Radiohead or the Chili Peppers, I never understood the hype. The problem with festivals is the sets are usually 30 minutes and stuffed with radio friendly material. I think the atmosphere of the venue would add a lot to my enjoyment and Bonnaroo is known for being a great show.

fix'd ;)
