I'm in for Gambino, Girl Talk and Lonely Island but as someone who isn't down with Phish or Post Malone, consider me underwhelmed
I know they're big but that's a specific scene. Headliners of Phish, Post, Phish is really disappointing
Gambino is the headliner Friday. Phish will play late night like they did before. Beastie Boys headlined and Phish played after them.
Friday is pretty stacked though and Sunday looks like a good chill final day. Did someone drop out on Saturday? In what world are post malone and odesza Bonnaroo headliners? And Hozier 3rd? Real shitty Saturday. I just hope there's no conflict with Russo, Jim James, and the National. I guess John prine and musgraves are okay.
Yeah, I at least like the little names on Saturday. Idk it just all seems one headliner short. Even if it was someone I wasn't too into like Ariana Grande I'd be more into it
I would absolutely skip Thursday. What a waste of a day. Friday is ok but Saturday and Sunday would be conflict hells for me.
I know that he started as a poster on Inforoo.com and maybe a few other places like reddit. I'm not sure what his connections are but I was posting on Inforoo back in 2012-2014ish and that's when he seemed to make it his own gig. Was kind of self important about the whole thing.
Us phish fans are asking the same thing. Wasted dates, nobody has any interest in going to a pop music festival or paying $300 for three sets
I agree that Thursday looks rough and Saturday headliners look meh. Assuming JRAD is late night, but if it wasn't I'd be in bed by 10. My crew was hoping for Stones/Phish to bring us back to the farm. Probably gonna go all in on Jazzfest now.
have really wanted to go to Roo recently, was hoping this would be the year. but with needing to save up for a wedding, and a meh lineup (JMO), i'll have to pass.
This doesn’t really answer your question but just download the Relisten app and you can stream recordings of their shows for free
get outta here with this hyperbole. And just because you get older and have niche music tastes. Takes like this are so annoying
If someone sees a genre breakdown on Reddit, please share. There was a good one last year someone there sorted out.
why would a bunch of ‘heads want to pay $375 to get into a pop music festival to see three watered-down sets over threes days that will most likely be geared toward non-fans? I would imagine your friends are casual fans if they’re excited about this. Seems like most festival music fans agree as well —- this is just an awkward pairing
Far from it. Now granted Bonnaroo is in our backyard. Wait, are you saying Phish and Bonnaroo is an awkward pairing?
Yes, I’m saying phish and cardi b/post malone/Odessa is a weird pairing. 2003 bonnaroo and phish obviously would be a completely different situation
What it was and what it is now are completely different things. Look at the billings side by side. Bonnaroo sold out to the pop/edm crowd a long time ago just like 90% of festivals did.
Bonnaroo has stayed closer to its roots than a lot of the other mainstream festivals. look at hangout and coachella this year. lollapalooza is catering more to the pop/edm/rap crowd.
And for the record I would have done the exact same thing there’s a shit ton of money to be made with these Molly Festivals
Yeah I think most Phish fans hate this. Good thing I'm not one of them, but will still enjoy the shows.
Is it because it's one less weekend on their summer tour or something? I guess I forgot to be a die-hard Phan, you can only like Phish and no one else. Trey or die baby.
Yeah I was on their sub Reddit and they were shitting all over this lineup. They hate that Friday is only one set, hate that it will likely mean less dates for other southern cities, hate it'll be festival sets, and they hate Post Malone and the Lumineers (which this is one I agree with). I'm not a Phish fan but do like a number of other jam bands, so I'm excited about their sets personally. From all accounts they have been on fire the past year and half so it will be great. Also excited about Gambino so I'm stoked with all headliners except Saturday and there's enough there with the National, jrad, and Jim james to keep me happy.
