1/19/2007 7:32:34 PM

1/19/2007 8:28:23 PM

1/19/2007 8:44:12 PM

since when did Sting reunite with the police?

1/19/2007 8:48:55 PM

i hope Old Crow Medicine Show is on that official list.

1/19/2007 8:49:20 PM

i thought i heard they reunited for a couple of shows or something

1/19/2007 8:49:58 PM

^i didn't even realize i double posted. Oh well

1/19/2007 8:51:39 PM

aha fountains of wayne, i remember when bonnaroo used to be uberhippy, now its getting all gay and shit

1/19/2007 8:53:25 PM

yeah i totally agree. i know they're trying to attract all audiences, but there are only about 50% of the bands i'd want to see.

1/19/2007 9:23:55 PM

best lineup theyve ever had. i'll definitely be there

you can say that about any musical festival, ever

1/20/2007 12:56:03 AM

that lineup is siiiiick. i may actually consider it.

1/20/2007 1:48:43 AM

The Police, Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam, Les Claypool, Earl Scruggs........lol........you'll be getting your money's worth.

They have everyone.

1/20/2007 2:25:12 AM

with a lineup like that, i'd love to go


but my sister was dragged out there by her fiance 2 years ago and told me so many horror stories about wallowing in shit and piss.

Crowes + America + Dylan + Police + PJ + Umphrey's + Bela Fleck = priceless, in my opinion

1/20/2007 9:45:35 AM

tim you'd love toots and the maytals, really good reggae. he's the one who originally wrote the song "5446 thats my number".

1/20/2007 9:52:55 AM

I worked there last summer, got to go for free and got paid 300 bucks, and only had to sit around and give directions for 8 hours a day. Kinda lame work, but afterwards I got to see whatever bands I wanted to.

The nastiness is definitely right; we had to get there a couple days early and leave a couple days late and I didn't shower for a whole week. I swore I'd never work there again, but Bob Dylan and Pearl Jam tempt me.

1/20/2007 12:10:59 PM

^^ ahh

1/20/2007 12:43:56 PM

The Police, Bob Dylan, and Pearl Jam ,Tom Waits, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, The Black Crowes, Keller Williams Band, Les Claypool, The Roots,Ozomatli, Perpetual Groove, John Butler Trio,Medeski Martin and Wood.

Only ones that matter.

I do however wish MMW was Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood, but you cant have everything.

And MTV is gaying Bonnaroo up

"Rodrigo y Gabriela"

if you go, i would definately recommend seeing them. its a brother and sister playing classical guitars and they are absolutely amazing. apparently they were previously in some mexican death metal band, but now they play all types of stuff...you can really hear the metal influence though on their rhythms.

1/20/2007 2:45:30 PM

wow that's a super awesome line-up

might be worth putting up with the crazy hippie madness

i heard on the radio recently that sting wanted to get back together, but stewart copeland wanted nothing to do with it.

1/20/2007 5:52:17 PM

i think last years lineup was stronger... that said ill probably go back again this year

1/21/2007 2:53:45 PM

it's okay

in about 5 years from now, all that seattle stuff will be retro and it'll all be back in vogue...like the way the kiddies eat up the 'new new wave' sound that's out now...the sorority girls will be wearing flannel and acting like it's the latest and greatest

1/21/2007 3:01:59 PM

^troof

1/21/2007 3:05:44 PM

^^ money. kind of sad how trends work but maybe i should prepare early this time so i can get laid.

you sir, are an idiot, and just because you said that not only will i not go see your fag band, i will tell everyone there to not go see them because they attract homosexuals like you as their fanbase

1/21/2007 5:00:06 PM

OH NOES!!!!11

1/21/2007 5:22:46 PM

the lineup is good. but i've seen all the bands i'm interested in before or they'll be coming here in the next 6 months. the only actual draw in the lineup for me is the police. and to be honest, seeing a police reunion has a lot of potential for lameness.

1/21/2007 5:44:18 PM

i will rent a billboard downtown that says


DO NOT LISTEN TO KONOMO #1 BECAUSE ONLY COCKGOBBLERS LIKE TSCHUDI LISTEN TO THEM

1/21/2007 5:54:39 PM

Yeah I definetely second seeing Rodrigo y Gabriela. Check this out if you haven't heard of them.

1/21/2007 6:00:52 PM

I just bought R&G's newest album, first album i've bought in awhile. that Diablo Rojo song is the shit, as is their Stairway to Heaven..."cover" ?

1/25/2007 10:27:04 AM

Well I can't speak for the rest of the lineup but Pearl Jam just released their tour schedule for June and they will be in Europe during Bonnaroo.

1/26/2007 8:14:08 AM

1/26/2007 8:38:49 AM

I'll be there on acid maaaan.

1/26/2007 9:11:24 AM

Konono No.1 is not a fag band, and even tho that kid sounds like an idiot he got one point right. These guys are pretty entertaining.

1/26/2007 12:30:18 PM

THE MOTHERFUCKING POLICE - GOD I HATE YOU HIPPIES

1/26/2007 12:32:35 PM

1/26/2007 5:56:01 PM

1/27/2007 12:32:59 AM

pearl jam has been confirmed as "picking europe over bonnaroo" which leads me to believe that this list has some substance, as they obviously got it right that bonnaroo wanted PJ
