i love radiohead and bright eyes and some of the other additions, but i can already say that the festival is going to be much more mainstream with death cab and ben folds. i went last year and it was a blast.

[distance]

do they do single-day tickets for bonnaroo?

[Sage 703]

i think this bests Coachella.

that's not a hard thing to do with this year's coachella lineup.

[squidbitz]

Beats Coachella, doesn't come close to beating the Austin City Limits Fest.

Bonnaroo > Coachella (this year)
 
   and i guess i will go and figure it to be more mainstream this year, less smelly trustfund hippies.

I'm amused by the fact that as it stands now Bonnaroo shares 15% of it's lineup with Coachella, but that with the addition of sone perennial summer shed acts, wait three months and thier back acts, and Radiohead, it's a better festival.  Is Radiohead the band that did that "Creep" song?
 
 Looking over the Coachella list it's pretty easy to figure out which DJs etc are performing on a seperate stage.  
 
 Why exactly is the Coachella lineup so weak?  Is the number of acts people maybe not be familiar with.  The Bonnaroo list is a bunch of acts that appeal to 30 year olds wanting to relive college...

[Got Haggis?]

Bonnaroo has Balkan Beat Box....wow, i may have to go now.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I'd say it appeals to fans of acts that have staying power, rather than fans of the latest flavor of the month.
 
 I'll take the Bonaroo lineup over Coachella, too.

Somewhat true, I guess, but for me Elvis, Radiohead, Beck, Bright Eyes, MMJ, Gomez and a lot of the others play a different show each time.  Even Petty and the Heartbreakers put on a great show and mix it up.
 
 Isn't someone on here a fan of Devotchka?  I've been getting into them lately, nice to see them on the list.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

That would be me. (And Jag, I believe.) Would be great if they did a rare East Coast tour.
