Bonnaroo

[nicholaus]

Has anyone gone to the Bonnaroo music festival before? Is anyone going this year?

 

I went last year, and had a blast, and will make another appearance this year. Just curious if there's others here who will be going.

I heard the Radiohead show there was the best shit ever. The bands favourite as well. Can't wait for the DVD.

 

What bands are up this year? also, have fun...should be awesome either way

Meh, I only see a few really good bands on this list:

(The Police, TOOL, Wilco, WEEN in my opinion)

 

But sounds hella awesome anyway.

I went to it in 2003, the 1st year. The highlight for me was moe. in the late night tent, was voted best jam band show of that year. They played from 12:30 til about Sunrise.

Radiohead last year was AMAZING! They played for almost 3 hours, it was their longest show in the history of their band! I can't say enough great things on how that set alone was worth the price of admission.

 

This year, some of the bands I'm looking forward to seeing that haven't been mentioned yet are Damien Rice, The Shins, and Gogol Bordello. It's a very fun festival, excellently organized and run. I've been to some that weren't quite that way (Woodstock 99) and while I generally don't like the big venues, Bonnaroo is just a great time where everyone gets along.

Seeing Ween live would be pretty killer.

 

Edit: the Decemberists are playing. They aren't so bad. They played a really good live show at the Commodore.
