I've wanted to make the trip for years, and I regret not doing it before. The only music festival I've been to is Electric Forest, but I was working for that. Should be one hell of a show. Any tips for newcomers?
February 19th, 2014 at 11:46 PM ^
See Kaskade. that's it

Second, do not come in large groups and expect to stay together.
Bonnaroo is fun but it is crowded and I would say don't travel with a group more than 4.

CAN I STAY AT YOUR PLACE?

Great time. From what I remember of it.
February 19th, 2014 at 10:52 PM ^
My excitement is unexplainable.... However, I will probably be experiencing it through a livestream on the computer... Either way, one heck of a lineup. I WILL get to Bonnaroo before I die.

Save your money

I went to the first 2, then continued to be dumbfounded at why I didn't continue going every year. The lineups get more and more ridiculous every year. Not to mention all the other activities that they will anounce.
This will be a tough year to pass, but I don't think I'll be able to go, even though it's only 45 minutes (6 hours in Bonnaroo traffic) away.

I thought Outkast was getting back together for this one
February 20th, 2014 at 1:15 AM ^
Coachella only.
February 20th, 2014 at 2:19 AM ^
They're doing Hangout Fest in Gulfshores, AL too.
February 20th, 2014 at 2:26 AM ^
Yeah you are right. I thought that Cochella was their only festival in their 40 show tour, but I guess I read that wrong because they are doing lots of other festivals.
February 20th, 2014 at 3:56 AM ^
OutKast seems to be THE hot festival headliner. They are calling this year a "festival tour" and are playing "more than 40 festivals." I like to hit a few festivals myself and it's going to be difficult not to see them at least once by accident.

I went for the Jay-Z/Dave Matthews/Stevie Wonder year and then the next year for Eminem/Arcade Fire.
Two of the best weekends of my life. Highly recommend going. Especially if you can stay in a hotel or live nearby. I lived in Murfreesboro when I went and would cruise home late night, sleep in AC and return the next day.

And he will play all his old shit. Would be cool to see
February 20th, 2014 at 8:53 AM ^
AND FUCK YOU FOR NOT MENTIONING YEEZUS

I saw Cube live in Indianapolis with Above the Law, 2pac, Digital Underground, and Public Enemy back in 1993. Easily the best rap concert I have gone too. Each artist accompanied by a live band, and all at a small venue. Great concert. Unfortunately, Cube will probably do a very few song from the Pre-Predator days. The rest of the hip hop lineup looks like a snooze.
I'm sure Kanye puts on an entertaining show with plenty of visual excitement. He has to do something to keep you from paying attention to his crappy music.
February 20th, 2014 at 2:30 PM ^
I know, right? F that dude for taking his talents and turning it into millions and millions of dollars. I would have turned down every movie/endorsement deal along with the millions that came with it, in hopes of preserving my image as a great 90's gangster rapper... (as if that image isn't still, firmly in place)
MAKE YOUR MONEY CUBE

So would, but I'm going to be back in Omaha this summer and it's a long, long drive.
Would love to see Chvrches, though.
February 20th, 2014 at 2:05 AM ^
Replying because I have 1666 points.
February 20th, 2014 at 2:34 AM ^
Glad to see some other Chvrches fans on the board.

having seen both in the past 6 months, Vampire Weekend and Arctic Monkeys both put on fantastic shows.
from the rest of the lineup: Neutral Milk Hotel was amazing. I've heard some less flattering reviews lately, but that was not my experience in Boston. seeing Warpaint and the Head and the Heart at Boston Calling in May. Okkervil River might not be big yet, but I really enjoyed them live.
bah. I need to get down to Bonnaroo or Cochella one of these years. at least Boston Calling is growing.

I don't think he said he was bringing his kids, but the first year it started, we camped next to 2 families. There were a lot more kids there than I ever expected.
That being said, I don't recommend it.
February 20th, 2014 at 1:21 AM ^
Avett Brothers, Disclosure, Broken Bells, James Blake, CHVRCHES, Chance the Rapper, Cloud Nothings, POLICA would be the ones I want to see the most.
EDIT: I just saw BANKS was on the list. I would really want to see her live, and she is pretty hot too.
February 20th, 2014 at 2:02 AM ^
February 20th, 2014 at 8:55 AM ^
FUCK YOU MAN
February 20th, 2014 at 9:58 AM ^
Bitch, tell me how you ain't the Hobbit again.
February 20th, 2014 at 10:21 AM ^
Haven't really cared for Kanye's last 3ish albums, but Danny Brown is playing, who is hands down my favorite rapper out right now.

Common, where's the "be prepared" mr boyscout? if you want good ecoutrements, you need to bring them yourself. If you need shade, bring shade chairs.

I would strongly encourage anybody going to check out The Wild Feathers. I got to check them out in Lansing a few months ago and instantly became a favorite.
