Official Poster:
Yep - I would agree with that.. Thanks for the line.
Absolutely perfect. David Byrne, Animal Collective, NIN, Heartless Bastards, MGMT, and Crystal Castles were my favs. Springsteen’s performance was otherworldly.
The prices were reasonable as far as inflated festival prices go, and they remained constant. I guess festival organizers learned something from Woodstock ‘99.
bonnaroo kickoff party

rsvp bitches
dont forget about the david byrne curated stage as well. I feel like that is kind of taking the spot of this years superjam
jimmy buffett?
Keep your eye on the ball boys…they added The 6th Ward Treme Allstars Brass Band last night.
ONE WEEK!!! My mind is about ready to explode…
it will show up in that conveniently open space sunday afternoon in the other tent
Wow, i forgot about that. Where is the superjam? That seemed to be one of the most unique aspects of the ‘roo.
Phish is the “supposed” superjam this year
So what’s up is their no Superjam this year?
wow i’ve been there from 04-07 but jeez look at this line up, frigin terrible. Snoop Dogg? LMAO. no wonder all the real jam band headliners aren’t up there ^_^
I understand now, they will be in the two disco venues (i.e. silent and discoteque). Never mind my previous statement, its all so crystal clear now.
It seems like it would make more sense to have less additions, and thus having less scheduling conflicts. If the additions were more intriguing it would be easier to swallow. Why add bands when there are already such conflicts, should we really have to decide between Byrne and Beasties because they used up spots on Kraak & Smaak and Cage the Elephant?
i am pointing out some fixes to make to this page to help you out.
Jesse Baylin: has no upcoming dates listed on any sites. The cited article could have confused the fact that she played last year.
Ridge Runner: their myspace says “Bonnaroo Break” for June 10-14. They also did not include Bonnaroo among their tour dates on their website. They are most likely just attending as fans.
The Lee Boys: have dates booked elsewhere for each date of the festival.
Roger Alan Wade: is listed both under official lineup and also confirmed.
Titus Andronicus: a user on inforoo posted an email from the band stating that they will not be playing.
http://bonnaroo.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=music&action=display&thread=16453&page=127
yeah there are some serious conflicts. NIN-MOE-MGMT-Ben harper; of montreal-Govt mule; pretty lights-oakenfold-girltalk; wilco-TMV overlap, etc, etc. it wouldnt hurt my feelings to rearrange the schedule a little bit.
been to bonnaroo 3 other times, not 100%on this year, nin and mgmt over lap sucks so does volta dn decemberists but i think what is worse is girl talk and paul oakenfold.
shittiest schedule ever…
Roo seems to be moving the schedule around some so I would take everything as tenative.
I saw them on tour with the Allman Bros. a couple of years ago. I personally would rather see them then Phish as far as the jam bands go.
moe who is that. some janky jam band. Searched them through CoS search and didnt find one article soley dedicated to them? I’m being serious. Ive never even heard of this band. Are they the Tragically Hip of the US?
http://mindreader.bonnaroo.com/a/home is a direct link too the application
If you use the Zoltarra app on the main site or whatever it is called and click a few places it takes you too it.
The one that is killing me is the moe., NIN, Ben Harper conflict. Ahh well should still be fun.
wait how do you get the schedule?
yea, I am a little sad bout the overlap of NIN and moe.
schedule is out with the Zoltaroo application. Beastie Boys and Byrne overlap. seems a little crazy to me.
Ahh I’m ready to be dissapointed for who I won’t get to see so I can get excited for who I will get to see, but rules is rules lol
i don’t think you’ll see the schedule by may 20th three weeks before is kind of early for the schedule last year it was like 2 weeks almost a week before when it finally came out
@Luke - they do let people in on Wednesday night, but you have to stay in BFE, unless you can get a better spot in the morning (they close off everything but BFE)
@Bruce (same name as me!) - Late May. I suspect we will get it in the May 20th update.
Ahh thanks Adam. I’m a very impatient person, anyone know when the schedule was released last year?
Bruce plays headlining spot on Saturday, not late night. Also, dont miss any late night sets if you can, the best creations come out in the moonlight.
santigold changed her name….bruce plays the headline set….cage the elephant was awful lyrically, and there songs sound the same with zero melody and they let people in around 7 PM wednesday night
are you high or something there is no way bruce plays late night and even had you’re odd reality been true there would be a whole bunch of other bands playing late night so why would you go to sleep
Maybe I’m out of the loop or something but why does it say Santigold on the poster?
umm…here’s just a thought, but…
boss in the night- will stop before light = bruce into nin
so it looks like Springsteen is playing the late night set, maybe I will be able to catch some z’s one night.
roger alan wade is confirmed via his myspace page
actually they will start to let some people in really late wednesday night
they let people in on thursday morning
Does anybody know when they let people into the camping area? Is it thursday or wednesday night?
Don’t tempt me with dead weather rumors. I’ve been saying for a while now that they are an addition that I could see being made. I just gave up hope and now there’s a chance?
just curious. why was cage the elephant the worst band there?
i am not a pretentious phish head and i was just at coachella and let me say that Cage the Elephant was the worst band there….by far
Where did the Dead Weather rumor come from… because they are playing in Louisville on the 11th?
cage the elephant is not horrible but oh i forgot your a douchebag
tobacco!!!
cage the elephant is horrible
They were, but then removed, then added again.
God, I hate Phish fans. So “Open minded” of other music.
Yeah, Cage the Elephant was added like a month ago.
Is there any chance Oberst and his new band could be added to the lineup?
I don’t think there is a problem w/ either quality or quantity.
Quantity does not mean quality.
I think Bonnaroo’s insanely large and extensive bill is what separates it from other festivals. What other three-day festival do you have your choice between 250 bands?
Take it easy on the little guys. If you check past years, several bands from the cafe stage have gone on to play main stages and tents. This year Russian Circles are worth waking up for.
I agree, all those latest updates are a waste. Do they get these acts knowing that people will sleep through them? Also is it because they do not want to spend too much on bands that will be slept through? If you were to stay up, and hear all the real sets and late night happenings, the bands that following morning are always skipped. Humans need sleep, and Phish, not A.A. Bondy or Tobacco.
I know that hearing new music is the best way to get off and festies are the best place to do it, that being said, does anyone think that the lower half of the lineup seems to be acts that will never do anything of any importance. You can not rise from obscurity without first being obscure, but these bands, groups, and/or singer-songwriter acts have not shaped music. Most seem to be small bleeps from local spots. I do not understand how filling up the lineup with these helps the festie, people go to hear music of a different kind, of a powerful kind, but during the day we are basically stuck with acts that BonRoo is trying to expose and most will sleep through. Even things out, also rushing these “young” or “up-and-coming” bands out to a huge festival usually helps to rush them back into obscurity…
Turbine is confirmed on the Roo website…
bands are being added right now on the official site
Russian Circles! Yes!
I have a few more adds for you since you are in an adding mood today:
Cage The Elephant - They were on the poster after the first round of additions, but were taken off the poster a day later. I am pretty much assuing that was a mistake and are going to be added.
http://bonnaroo.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=music&action=display&thread=17498
The Belleville Outfit- They are offical as they get: http://bellevilleoutfit.com/cms/index.php?page=tour
Sons of Bill - I found this on Sam Wilson’s Myspace page:
http://www.myspace.com/sambowilsonmusic
Dirty Projectors and Katzenjammer confirmed:
http://pitchfork.com/news/35128-david-byrne-curates-a-stage-at-bonnaroo/
when is the schedule going to be released?
Goddamnit. Not only will I miss Phoenix at Roo, it pretty much guarantees they won’t be coming to Nashville anytime soon.
add Phoenix, at least according to this story - http://stereogum.com/archives/tour-dates/phoenix-announce-us-tour_064352.html
I think Jason Lytle from Grandaddy will be playing at Bonnaroo. Mainly because he is touring with Neko Case. I HOPE SO!
yeah im lookin forward to another round or two, hopefully three, of additions. they first round didnt excite me much at all, still were some good acts though. we need something mind blowing and some more electronic (bassnectar, Deadmau5, lotus(i know not electronic but needed)) i wouldnt be surprised if something came out soon, i just hope its worth the wait, b/c last time it wasnt.
Are they done with adding big acts? Compared to all the other past summers. The line up isn’t as long. And the past two years they were adding tons of bands at least 3 or 4 times. We have only had one addition. And this is coming up in less than two months.
Tobacco - see bottom of this link -
http://www.anticon.com/index.php?section=artist&target=Tobacco&js=yes
Im sure somethin good will still be added… dont worry so much
Hey, Cotton Jones is booked for the Roo. Straight from the band. I graduated school with the drummer and im good friends with his brother.
^NBA games = Amen.
the movie tent is also air conditioned and a hell of a better place 2 chilll with movies and nba playoff games
Did the Raekwon and Ghostface fall through?
“If you’re going to Roo for the comedy, there’s something wrong there.”
1. the comedy tent is air conditioned, and the only public place on the farm that is
2. it’s not just bonnaroo music fest, its music AND arts
3. APW just got a killer comedy lineup that the roo couldn’t pull, what the fuck? including tim & eric and bo burnham
add something please…
Ting Tings and Down were 2 of the handful of acts I would have been excited to see (and don’t expect to get at Lollapalooza). This makes missing it a lot easier for me.
If you’re going to Roo for the comedy, there’s something wrong there.
who cares about the ting tings. down is gone which is bullshit, they were the reason i decided to go back for my fifth year. i love the rest of the lineup but the appeal of seeing down play a late night thursday set on the farm was making me drool. now my hopes and dreams are smashed.
Tim and Eric are pretty cool
ya whats up with the ting tings removal?
TIM AND ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why would the Ting Tings back out of Bonnaroo? They’re ok, but not good enough to snub a festival the size of the Roo.
Titus Andronicus can be added too: http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009/03/titus_andronicu_6.html
BRING ON TIM AND ERIC!
SPAGETT!
yeah! I want tim and eric!
I second that. I have waited too long for this shitty addition. I’ve been to roo twice and the comedy tent is the highlight of my weekend. Where are the comedy troups that are touring? Sasquatch got tim and eric and whitest kids. Triumph? Give me a fucking break. What’s next, carrot top in ‘10? Oh well, thanks to michael ian black and showalter were only 1 person short of Stella. Give me something to laugh at bonnaroo!!
These additions do nothing to persuade somebody who is on the fence about attending Bonnaroo to buy a ticket. Even though the overall lineup is incredible, Roo waited too long to have a subpar addition list like this.
Crappy metal bands and Jimmy Fallon, give me a break.
music.
Public Enemy
Ani DiFranco
Amadou & Miriam
Shadows Fall
Heartless Bastards
Tony Rice Unit
High On Fire
Passion Pit
Dillinger Escape Plan
Wailing Souls
The Itals

Add Joe Pug to the list of confirmed:

ewww… the counting crows no thanks i prefer my crows black not mathematically inclined.
Rumors of Counting Crows. It is all over the board
definitely no flaming lips.
no flips. =/
flaming lips.
YES! Dillinger escape plan!
hey i have ? would john valby be good for one set lol
Another update for you. Dillinger Escape Plan may be playing roo this year:
http://twitter.com/dillingerescpln
The Allman Brothers Band are really looking like an addition. And a strong one at that. It’s about time.
Some roo updates:
-Dwayne Kerr is playing with Erykah Badu
-Amadou and Mariam are confirmed by Jambase and Pollstar
-The Wailing Souls and Jeff Bujak are also playing which is confirmed by Jambase
i dont even need any adds, im straight with it is as it is lol.
I am predicting a Phish/David Byrne set.
on behaf of everyone;
seriuosly we need some additions, it would make us really really happy!
then they*
we need some additions and they need to bring us some robin williams for the comedy…if they brought chris rock, then i can one up themselves big time by bring in williams….that would be great
Seriously when are they going to post more additions, the wait is killing me! I’m hoping for some thing creative (creative as in new to Bonnaroo)this year like Streetlight Manifesto, or Reel Big Fish. And what’s with the lack of comedy on the initial line-up?
These are all acts who have Bonnarro on their Myspace calendars, but haven’t been announced as playing Bonnaroo yet.

“Anybody else think that the ‘Roo blows ass so far. I’m not a huge headliner whore but honestly, who cares about Bruce Springsteen. I got my fill at the Superbowl. And I’d rather not see Phish than have to spend 3 days with a bunch of egotistical hippie asshats. I suppose NIN, Beastie Boys, Wilco, Oakenfold, TV on the Radio and some others will be pretty sweet. But The Mars Volta, Coheed and Cambria, the f**king Ting Tings and most of the rest of the undercards make me nauseous. I bought an early bird ticket, and it might have been a mistake. If the lineup doesn’t get markedly better in the weeks to come I just might say “Screw you!” to Roo and sell a heavily discounted ticket to cut my losses.”
^^^—-can i but that heavily discounted ticket??
I’m thinking we have to get a addition by wed
Youll be missed
totally disagree roo is pretty awesome this year
I’ll buy it.

i believe murs was just added
Man i am waiting for bonnaroo to add something that;s going to blow my mind. and people alway’s say how they going going to fit all these bands. they do every year so give us something i am going crazy
don’t remove down bonnaroo confirmed with me via email that they were not taken off the lineup just a web glitch
yea, G that is what i was commin to comment about, Janes addiction would be a good name for an artist addition. speaking of when do you guys think they will have the first one? how long does it normally take after the lineup to see one? i know it was only 2-2.5 weeks when waka let out their first list of additions.
What about Jane’s Addiction? With them touring with NIN could the Roo be a possible stop for Jane’s Addiction? Or will they just wait for Lolla.
indeed… http://flaminglips.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/267609717/m/1361091892?r=629107531#629107531
kliph has confirmed that the lips are not playing bonnaroo this summer.
Click on the link douche
Where is the flips rumor coming from…..there is no way they are playing bonnaroo this summer
yea but tier 4 is probably where the majority of the tickets are seeing as theyre the most expensive
Tier 3 sold out too
tier 2 was sold out by 12:02
just got my ticket. this payment plan is awesome!
where did Band of Horses go? It’s not on the official poster anymore…
There is still a buzz that possibly Jay-Z still might be added. I usually don’t buy into this, but my gut feeling is saying Superfly/AC are up to something.
Please god have DMB play. All they would need is radiohead sigur ros. and its officially the greatest line up known to man kind.
Citizen Cope is confirmed, not a rumor. If I go, my three to see are Phish, Beasties, and David Byrne.
Band of Horses was left off the lsit above, bus is on Bonnaroo’s list. That’s great!
Who cares when people sleep? I mean seriously. But thanks for the info Anonymous. Can you tell me what time you eat breakfast too?
This line-up is pretty sick. Stay at home haters.
for real?!
bonnaroo webiste hasnt posted anything,
but i believe you.
Allen Toussaint! Awesome!
Jay Z? Blah. I don’t go to Roo because of the headliners anyways so it will give me more time to get some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZs.
The Tennessean states it will be posted at midnight and they are hinting Jay Z.
How can you confirm it w/no source?
How did you confirm Bruce and Phish?
Merle Haggard confirmed:
http://www.livedaily.com/news/15597.html
Crystal Method - LOL! One guy who is so drunk he SHUTS the equipment off in the middle of sets and the other guy who does all the work. Whoop whoop!
I’ve heard Rabbit in the Moon might be there. That would be interesting for all the people who don’t know them.
crystal method is the shittt and gets the party jumpin… id personally like to see the dead, phish and dmb. Obv moe would be great and some umphreys… claypool and buckethead should jump on shit to.. highly doubt oysterhead… springsteen would be a great guess hes doin everything nowa days.. the ROO is the idol… but the ROTHBURY shit is whats good.. cya all there again for year number 2
Lineup announcement is really coming quick, i’m so glad there isn’t all the coachella drama. I am surprised we don’t have more confirmations than we have though
i would sleep during the boss also. 2nd and 3rd tier bands, and the bands you dont know but find out about when you get there, those are the bands that matter most. 4 bonnaroos so far and pearl jam and radiohead are the only 2 headliner sets ive gone too. (except the widespread sunday shows i am always at since last show)
phish though… id be there
I’ve been a big Bruce hater since I was a kid. Nobody wanted Metallica or Tool, either and they both brought it to Roo! If Brucie plays, it’ll give me time to sleep.
i would…. roo is about great live acts and bruce is a consummate act….
honestly, who wants the boss at the roo?
Just making sure that “inside source” isn’t “inside your head”!
I hope you are correct about the beasties. Bruce Springsteen, not so much.
well you’re wrong. the boss and beastie boys have been confirmed from an “inside” source.
And what do we call you if you are wrong?
headliners are phish, the dead, paul mcartney, and daft punk(thursday headliner probably)
remember me when im right
AA Bondy was added today on Bonnaroo MySpace Friends. Exciting news if you’re a fan of his.
Trent Reznor said in December that he was going on a stripped down tour in the States in around April/May. He wants to hit some of the summer festivals, though, although he seemed to be leaning toward the European ones.
I remember NIN was going to announce a brief US tour for 2009 and then they were done. Guarantee this is going to be centered around the ‘Roo
WSP was amazing at Roo
KOL will play, they love Roo… they were choked when Roo wouldn’t let them play last year cause of their ” No band two years in a row rule”..despite the fact that fuckin Widespread panic seems to play every year.
forogt midnite on the myspace rumor
“they are also new friends with Nickelback, Jonas Brothers, Hanson, New Kids on the Block, Ricky Martin, Coheed and Cambria, Down, Lionel Richie, Weird Al, and the yeah yeah yeahs if you want to add them as well.”
I could go for some yeah yeah yeahs….not if it means all that other shit though
Weird Al! Fuck yeah!
they are also new friends with Nickelback, Jonas Brothers, Hanson, New Kids on the Block, Ricky Martin, Coheed and Cambria, Down, Lionel Richie, Weird Al, and the yeah yeah yeahs if you want to add them as well.
I think y’all are putting too much into just rumors… I mean 5 days and we find out the initial line-up..which will feature the headliners
many more “new” bonnaroo friends on their myspace list:
David Byrne, Al Green, Nine Inch Nails, Mars Volta, TV on the Radio, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Femi Kuti, Neko Case, Bon Iver, Citizen Cope, Stantogold, Jenny Lewis, Of Montreal, Robert Earl Keen, Paul Oakenfold, Kaki King, and Rapael Saadiq.
Wow.. Going to be quite a show.
BREAKING NEWS!!!
Phish, Bruce Springsteen and Beastie Boys all added to Bonnaroo’s MySpace Friends…
Jerry was Darkstar
I’ve heard Erykah Badu is also confirmed… but I can’t find the link. I think it was in an interview that she mentioned it (maybe with MTV News). Can anyone find the link?
bonnaroo will annouce lineup feb 3rd!! http://www.bonnaroo.com
more than one person is missing from the dead
Clue #5: When on stage, one star is missing.>>>
Could this be The Dead?
It’s impossible for the Led Zep rumors. Page’s agent said there is no more rumors and if you missed them in 07 then you missed them period and they will not be touring
I would bet my house on #4 being O.A.R.
#6-”One star is missing”—think about it. Who has been a rumor now for quite some time…Led Zep. The “one star is missing” could be referring to Plant not playing with the band………
Keisha Jackson is not playing Bonnaroo as a solo act. If you go to her myspace page and click her Bonnaroo date it says “Badu”. I am assuming she means she is playing with Badu.
Via clue solutions, here are 3 more rumored acts:
Clue #2: Deadmau5
Clue #3: Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3
Clue #6: Drive By Truckers with Booker T.
I want to say that Clue #2 is Sun Kil Moon.
Sun Ra - Mr. Ra = Sun.
George Bailey - “You want me to lasso the moon” from It’s a Wonderful Life
Just a fraction of the universe - again the moon.
Not sure who the euro pop tart is referring to though.
I like riddles!
couldnt you guys add the knux to the ‘roo confirmed and ACL confirmed?
if you look at the evidence for their confirmation for coachella
they have both under tour dates
Why isn’t Mars Volta on the rumored list? Anyone heard anything about this?
http://bonnaroo.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=music&action=display&thread=15641&page=1#429480
could #3 be Wolf Parade?
Here’s the clues:
Clue #1: Peter Pan had a good roast before he was beat to a pulp, and the ocean spray from a westward bay invites you to take a big gulp.
Clue #2: Sun Ra said space is the place. Subtract Mr. Ra, the Arkestra too, add George Bailey and just a fraction of the universe of which a euro pop tart did zing.
Clue #3: Vermin at the hills brow are better than in the house.
Clue #4: Not Rockville bound, but near there; where it rocks and rolls.
Clue #5: When on stage, one star is missing.
Clue #6: You will actually find this clue in the analog world, not the digital one …in one of two jeans pockets where ladies venture not.
O.A.R. is the #4 clue if anyone is keeping up with Bonnaroo Radio
They are from Rockville and all went to Ohio State (Near “Rock & Roll” Hall of Fame)
I hope no festival books guns n roses just to piss axl rose off…even the all rock festivals…he should be placed in the no touch ranks along with nickelback and some other schmoes…and this coming from someone who puts Appetite for Descruction in top 50 albums of all time
there is no way phish plays thursday that would create total chaos and i mean anarchy in manchester
Oakenfold would be excellent, a late night set for sure. Phish is a guarantee for two nights as headliners (Thursday and Sunday is my guess). The other two nights I bet we’d see a Beastie Boys 8pm slot (Friday) and maybe The Cure (Saturday).
But oh man, if Animal Collective (likely) and Spiritualized (less likely) were there I’d be sold.
I am not counting out Guns n’ Roses (or the Axl Rose project). It’s bound to happen that they’ll play some big festival. After Metallica last year and with Bonnaroo’s “return to form” I doubt it’s gonna happen here. I’m guessing Lolla for Axl and friends.
The Lee Boys are playing:

Oakenfold.. Nice! However, probably won’t be as awesome as Tiesto last year.
Paul Oakenfold . . . this makes my happy.
Paul Oakenfold is Confirmed.

badu is confirmed.
Just thought you should know. Perhaps Erykah Badu should be in the rumors section but Mr. Rceezy is saying he is playing with her there.

lineup out feb 3rd
Beastie Boys and The Cure will be playing at Bonnaroo in 2009
The DJ JD clues have started up again…
where’s springsteen, broseph?
Crystal Method? Yikes. I’ve seen them live 3 or 4 times now and they aren’t very good or professional. It’s usually the one guy who gets drunk and jumps around like a fool while the other guy spins. Twice they’ve been so wasted they shut their CDJ’s off in the middle of a set. Yeah. Oh boy.
Beastie Boys need to play Bonnaroo. They will be back in 2009 with a new cd and have never played this festival. They would be a good act to have the Kanye West slot from this year.
Headlining - JayZ-Phish-The Dead
Midnight Saturday - The Flaming Lips (maybe also a late night from Justice)
Super Jam - Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones + friends
The Return of Oysterhead
that’s my official guess
I spoke to The Crystal Method while they were doing a DJ set a few weeks ago. They told me they were trying to get on the lineup.
Bonnaroo has officially announced the dates for 2009: June 11-14, 2009. On Thursday, December 4th pre-sale tickets will go on sale at the price of $209.50.
Oh please please please let it be true about phish. I say rhcp friday nite phish sat nite and the dead sunday nite. Also a late nite moe should would kill.
if Phish does play i bet its for 2 nights. there would in fact be only 2 headliners this year but potential for a bigger thursday night midnight act.
GNR? As disgusting as that sounds, rest assured, we’re more likely to see Michael Jackson headline… which is to say, NO.
Phish, the Dead, and Panic? All in one year? That would be kinda interesting wouldn’t it… I am not much for jam bands, but I do enjoy seeing them, I would definitely still go… would definitely be a 180 degree turnaround for the Roo, back to the old days. As long as they get a sweet less-jammy undercard, though, if it’s ALL jam bands, I’d be turned off.
regrettably widespread panic looks like the likely third headliner
superfly are in talks with guns n’ roses and jay-z as possible headliners. just wait and see, these will be breaking soon.
how did you get these dates?
