Kinda weak lineup, this far. Only bands I that really excite me are Phil Lesh and Friends, Bela Fleck, Mike Gordon, and Robert Randolph. And Radiohead headlining? This lineup isn't nearly as impressive as last year.

wow, i think that's just about everybody i wanted to see from coachella... and a hell of a lot closer than cali!

2/1/2006 11:18:03 AM

Yeah, man. Radiohead, Beck, Tom Petty, Steve Earle, Elvis Costello...those dudes totally suck. Goddamn them for playing succinct shit.

holy shit, sasha sasha? as in techno.... bastards

radiohead here = rare so enjoy it whoever goes.... i got to see them play for like 25 / 45min. when they came to maryland a while back

2/1/2006 11:29:04 AM

^ I was under the impression that Bonnaroo always had DJs at night.

Meh.

2/1/2006 11:34:01 AM

this is the only time ive wanted to go to this thing.

maybe thats b/c im not jam band dope.

2/1/2006 11:36:13 AM

15 or 16 bands I want to see, that's about ten more than most years.

2/1/2006 11:42:59 AM

god damn hippies

2/1/2006 12:03:07 PM

I will have to mull this over. I had fun when I went in 2004 and the lineup wasn't nearly this good (note: I'm not a jam band fan). I'd be willing to spend about a third of the ticket price just for radiohead. so the question is whether the rest of the lineup warrants another hundred bucks. . . if there was one more big name who didn't come around like beck, I would be sold. . . Maybe more will be announced before the tickets go on sale.

2/1/2006 12:10:01 PM

radiohead, beck, elvis costello and the imposters, bright eyes, ben folds, cat power, steven malkmus and the jicks, clap your hands say yeah, seu jorge all people i have a high intrest in seeing live, not as hippie-ish a line-up this year as in years past

I'm not a huge Radiohead or Beck fan, although they are talented. I've seen Tom Petty twice and his shows are fun except everyone there is singing every song as loud as possible. The Blues Travelers and moe. should be good, and Phil Lesh is always incredible. Dr. John is the man too. Medeski, Martin, and Wood are solid. What type of music does Death Cab play? I've heard alot about them, but never listened to them. This lineup just surprises me compared to years past. No Panic, no Trey Anastasio, no Ratdog, Bisco, Umphrey's...


[Edited on February 1, 2006 at 12:43 PM. Reason : and who is this Ramble Dove that Gordo is playing with?]

2/1/2006 12:30:06 PM

Radiohead, Tom Petty, Beck, Elvis Costello, Death Cab, Bright Eyes, Bela Fleck, Ben Folds, Robert Randolph, Matisyahu, My Morning Jacket, Cat Power, Atmosphere, Son Volt, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Shooter Jennings.


Solid. I want to go.

2/1/2006 12:33:56 PM

holy crap

you had me at

Radiohead, Tom Petty, Death Cab, Bright Eyes, My Morning Jacket

I so wanna go

2/1/2006 12:39:59 PM

looks like a solid lineup to me. it's a much broader lineup than years past. beck is great live and i still haven't seen radiohead live. you guys should definitely check out moe. if you have never seen them before. don't be scared by the jamband label most people give them. i would love to go, but its not likely due to vacation time req'd to get there from ny.

i like the way this is looking

2/1/2006 2:52:02 PM

Im stoked. Went last year and Im way more excited about this lineup.

2/1/2006 5:01:07 PM

FSU should send some more players this year

I'd really like to go, but it's all moot since:

1) I have no money
2) I don't know what I'll be doing or where I'll be in June

There's just not enough bluegrass this year. Last year had arguably the best 2 bluegrass bands on the scene with the Yonder Mountain String Band and Old Crow Medicine Show. Robert Randolph should play with Phil Lesh & Friends. That would make it worth the trip. And where is Gov't Mule? Warren Haynes is a legacy at this and other similar festivals. He plays with about half of the bands there.

2/1/2006 6:54:40 PM

^^^ OCMS is more old-time than bluegrass, and YMSB will probably end up getting added when it's all said and done.

Also, Ricky Skaggs has an amazing band, and is pretty good live. He gets evangelical sometimes though at his shows, and I don't know how well that will go over here.

No, because Yonder is playing Telluride the same dates in Colorado

I can't believe some of you aren't familiar with Phil Lesh. He played bass for the Grateful Dead for 40 years. Arguably the most influential bassist in histroy and one of the most influential musicians. Some would dispute this; however, he also wrote classical numbers at UC Berkeley, where he played 1st chair trumpet in the orchestra. But I guess I am talking to people who mostly wanna see Death Cab and My Morning Jacket.

And FYI: Robert Randolph plays pedal steel guitar and it is impossible to not have fun at his shows. Wait until you learn how to march. Mike Gordon was the bassist for Phish, I have no idea who the band he is playing with is.

is indie/related-non-indie music taking over the world?

yeah good bands but theres no way i'm dicking around in the tennessee heat...i went to the first and outside of the music it was pure misery

My thoughts exactly.

I went to a single day music fest in Atlanta three or four years back, and there were some great bands, but there's only so much I can handle after 12 hours of ~100 degree weather.

2/2/2006 9:47:28 PM

i went to intonation in chicago last july

the musis was phenomenal but 95 degree heat is just a bitch

2/2/2006 9:50:02 PM

bonnaroo weather was great last year... 100 degrees and 4 days of rain. Sweat + mud + 90,000 wooks

2/2/2006 9:56:15 PM

Wookies were there?

I'M IN!!!

Are you shitting me? James Jamerson, Carol Kaye, and John Entwistle are all far more influential.

Am i the only one who is stoked about Ricky Scaggs and Kentucky Thunder?

my grandpa used to always jam out ricky scaggs before he passed

2/10/2006 7:15:34 PM

i didnt see if this was mentioned but umphrey's mcgee and disco biscuits are playing late night sets so i hear


that pretty much solidified my wanting to go

2/10/2006 7:47:26 PM

why dont you save money and just drop acid and smoke hash at home?

2/10/2006 7:49:29 PM

and it looks like they will be playing together

on the same stage

late night set

forming some sort of inhuman super band

2/10/2006 7:50:52 PM

is bela fleck really that popular? he's been around for ages and i've never really heard anyone make a big deal about him, i went to a free acoustic stage concert/demonstration given by him in hickory 5-6 years ago and there were people there but it wasn't crazy, his best albums had already been out for a while by this point as well... don't get me wrong, i'm glad he's gaining popularity, he certainly deserves it, but i guess i'm just surprised by it, is it some new thing?
