Bonnaroo Daily Stage Schedule

Boo Bonnaroo.

weak sauce, awesome conflicts.

This is the first time I'm missing Bonnaroo in four years, and when I looked over the schedule I got a little wistful at the musical moments I'll be missing. For those that bad mouth this festival, which has its problems & challenges, I'd point out that without moving your chair for most of the day you could sit at one stage on Thursday and watch Back Door Slam, Grupo Fantasma, The Sword and Lez Zeppelin. On Friday you could plant yourself and watch Drive-By Truckers, Umphrey's, Les Claypool and Willie Nelson. Saturday you could catch Two Gallants, Against Me!, Mastadon and Zappa Plays Zappa in one spot. Sunday it could be The Lee Boys, Robert Randolph's Revival, Solomon Burke and Derek Trucks/Susan Tedeschi Soul Stew Revival. And that's just one option of myriad combinations possible. The level of talent - regardless of the headliners - at Bonnaroo is unreal. If you can't find TOO much to enjoy then I'm a little sad for you.

Bonnaroo isnt what it use to be, but still has some decent acts. I kind of wish I was going.

I'd go if I won the contest, otherwise im happy I'm not going, thursday would be alright all the bands I would wanna see are on the same stage, battles and MGMT. everything else i would want to see is conflicting with something else I would want to see.

ill be going but hte question is....who wants to give me a ride from charlotte NC!?!?!?!?!?

Umph in the early afternoon. That is so weak. Se ya bonnaroo. I am through with you.

I'm going this year. there are some conflicts: will have to miss les claypool and acoustic phil but other than that--pretty sweet. Thursday is the sleeper of the weekend: Grand Ole Party, Felice Brothers, and Dark Star Orchestra all on one stage. Fucking sick!!! Friday: DBT, DSO, Raconteurs, Chris Rock, Super Jam, tDB. Saturday: Mason Jennings, Frankenreiter, Ozo, BB King, Jack Johnson, Pearl Jam, Phil. Sunday: kinda light day--Yonder Mountain, Robert Plant/Krauss, and WSP....what a weekend

thats actually not too bad

much better schedule then last year. roo looks pretty nasty actually... especially those late nights damn

their conflicts are just ridiculous

I think the conflicts have been way worse in years past. The big ones for me would be Phil and Sigur Ros and MMJ with Biscuits. It is just too far from Maine for me to make the trek again. Waaaayyyy to hot for me too.

with this being #4 for me, the conflicts are not as bad as in the past...

but umphrey's friday afternoon??? i was hoping for an epic late night set...solid lineups each day

GHOSTLAND OBSERVATORY late late night...gonna be insanity...Superjam, MMJ, Tiesto, and tDB all at same time...unacceptable...

so drive by truckers UMPH, Claypool, Willie, doesnt get you going? Then getting really crazy and seeing MMJ and walking over and grooving to some disco. thats pretty sweet to me. I cant wait for this my 6th year in a row. i am seeing sigur ros over phil, but guess what? i still get to see probably two hours of phil anyways because it is bonnaroo, and there are no rules for performers and they will play untill the sun comes up. Fuck ya. not to metion seeing pearl jam, sharon jones and the dap kings,gogol bordello, BB King, the wood brothers, robert randolph, and on and on. hope to whoever is going on here, to have fun, smile and dance. LIVE MUCIC.

Those late nights are going to be killer! MMJ and then Sigur Ros the next night... that's worth the trip right there. I wish I was going.

guys UMPH will sit in with the biscuits no worries.

I'll give you a ride if you throw in a ticket and gas money.

nice. No big conflicts (as far as i'm concerned). That's a first. Kind of wish there was a bit more than two hours of space for Pearl Jam though but what can you do? Whatever they play will be followed by Phil all night!

weird...all of the really long late night sets are coming from the older musicians. PBS, Phil and Friends, Dumpstaphunk, and New Orleans All-stars are the longest sets of the whole festy. What's up with that? not saying it's a bad thing I just wonder if the festival was looking to give those sets or if those were the only bands who wanted long late night sets. If it's the latter these young bands playing 2 hour sets need to take some notes from their elders on how to keep jamming as long as they can

Yes, their are amazing bands playing at bonnaroo, but their are too many stupid ass sucky indie bands here. WAAAYYYY too many. They need more bluegrass and jam, and less suck. Also their are WAAAYYYY too many hard rock bands here...Pearl Jam is awesome, so they can stay, but Metallica, and Kanye come on, get fuckin real.

i was really hoping mmj and tiesto weren't on the same night...oh well its goin to be pretty sick anyway

Maybe the folks from All Good can take some tips from the late-nighters here

looks like they just randomly dropped everybody's name on board to make this schedule. I've been to roo 3 times and has it changed- I'm sure it will be fun and I love phil lesh to death but I dont see many people stayin up till 4 to watch that.

that Sigur Ros 2 hour late night slot will be the highlight of the festival

and lol and jack johnson an kanye being at the same time. i know a bunch of frat boys who are gonna be pissed! let the bro raping commence

i dont know guys could be a good time. check it out. im still debating though

PHil, the other/hip hop tent and Chromeo in This tent!!! WOW

i think im gonna go......

check out this sick email I just got from bonnaroo

"Attention gentlemen, no need to worry about five O'clock shadows or maintaining your Bonnaroo beard this year! Our friends at Gillette have joined the party to create the Bonnaroo Shave Shop. That's right...those who need a quick shave, a new look, or a simple trim will be able to indulge their grooming needs right here in Centeroo.

We'll feature self shave stations with sinks, mirrors and all the fixings from Gillette Shave Gels to the Gillette Fusion Phenom. There will be pros on had for those of you who want to be pampered and have the shaving done for you. Stop by and let Gillette help you look your Bonnaroo best!"

speaks for itself

!!! and sigur ros will be the highlights of this one 4 sure, although !!! should be late night

Wow, now I totally wish I was going. While it is the gallant jamband festival of its hayday, Bonnaroo is still a great eclectic mix of music. Like Sunday on the What Stage: Israel Vibration -> Yonder Mountain -> Plant & Krauss -> Widespread Panic. That is both awesome and all over the place genre-wise.

fuck you bmadray27 i hope you get kicked off for that comment. jambase kick him off.

Again, the biggest a-holes on the scene think that they have some right of eminent domain. Music is for those who enjoy it. For those who don't, save your trash mouthed comments. It doesn't matter where you learned about music. What counts is that it matters to you. It doesn't matter where you buy the band shirts. What counts is that you are supporting the band. Unfortunately it matters when certain people come in and stink up a scene with their elitist attitudes about who the "scene" belongs to. Also unfortunately, it is no ones place to define who belongs and who doesn't. And, yes, that includes drunken frat boys and grungy a-holes that think that just because they have seen (insert band here) more times than someone else, it gives them the right to be judge, jury and executioner. It's so funny that the people doing the most bitching about the state of the world today are doing the least in terms of improving it. GO SEE LIVE MUSIC! (and mind your own f'ing buisness)

There are so many conflicts this year, and so many overlapping and back to back shows that I absolutely must see. I'm gonna be running all over the place this year. But late night Sigur Ros? Holy crap. Let the planning begin:

big ups to rhythmic_randomness for that comment. anyway, i went in 04 when i lived on the east coast and it was fantastic. i was a little skeptical about this year after seeing bands like metallica and kanye as headliners and certain conflicts in previous years but now i am so bummed i'm not going. fri: drive-by, umph, stephen marley, claypool, state radio, chris rock, mmj, bisco. sat: wood bros., donovan, sharon jones, ozomatli, bb king, jack, pearl jam, phil, talib and chali 2na. sun: robert randolph, robert plant, dirty dozen, wsp. definitly worth it if you ask me.

I'm a little disappointed with how mainstream roos becoming, its worth the drive to rothbury in my opinion... however whoevers going, your still going to have a blast

Bonnaroo was one of the best experiences of my life, each of the three times brought something new to light in my life. Each time I went was a different kind of awesome. However, this lineup is lame. What happened to the good old days. CHRIS ROCK IS TAKING UP THE BIG STAGE WHEN DESERVING BANDS SHOULD BE PLAYING! Stay in the tent dude. I just wish the headliners weren't playing such weak sets. 2 Hour sets from a headliner is ridiculous!? I am very appalled by the past two years line-ups and how they've crapped on the faces of all the bands that made Bonnaroo into what it is today.

I will retort and say to all of you going for the first time or second please tell me you are not going just to see Kanye or Metallica.(Those individuals probably don't sign up for a site like this). They are talented at what they do but do not represent the true vibe that is now lost. ANYWAY HAVE FUN! BRING SUNSCREEN! PLENTY OF WATER! RAIN GEAR (BOOTS!)! AND CANNED BEER! I HOPE IT CHANGES YOUR LIFE AS IT CHANGED MINE THREE YEARS IN A ROW!

^ Amen

Why must they schedule the SuperJam the same time as MMJ!?! So fucking frustrating. I don't want to leave MMJ, but the SuperJam is the ONLY show that I would leave early to see. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Either way it's still gonna be a blast.

after seeing the initial lineup i wasnt sure. but not seeing all the bands spread out on a daily schedule makes it look AWESOME ! i wish i was going again !!!! (AND there will always be conflicts at bonnaroo because there is always so many great bands playing every year !!! manup

benjaminsochko, got an extra ticket? ill drive, in charlotte....

damn...after seeing the lineup and not being too excited, this schedule is very awesome. thats wat was always great about roo. running from which stage to what tent? then catching a quick set at the solar stage, grabbing sum grub and a brew, then heading over to catch an acoustic set. it will be a great experience this year, ill miss hangin on the air chairs and gettin sprayed with the water fans. only boo about roo...its too massive, and camping far away from the stages hurts.

It's funny to see people call out Bonnaroo and label the fest mainstream. IMHO all music festivals are now mainstream. Going to a music fest is the new cool way to get your music fix....What I fibd interesting is I look at many other fests and I recognize almost all the bands as former bonnaroo bands. I look at Roo's line-up every year and always see a large number of bands I never heard of....superfly throws jazzfest everyyear and now bonnaroo 7 years running....they are doing something right....see ya'll on the farm peace

Hope y'alls enjoy being on FUSE TV....damn Superfly, no shame?
