Eh, no.

The Bonnaroo (I can’t be bothered to check the spelling) Festival is a shit line-up of boring acts and has-beens.

The much ballyhooed Police reunion is nothing special. They’ve already planned a 60 date tour. Bob Dylan and Pearl Jam are wankers that only Rolling Stone seems to care about anymore.

The Arcade Fire is great and all, but they are playing every bloody festival in the world. What else? Oh yeah… nothing.

And it’s in Tennessee for christ sake.

Coachella brings acts to America that otherwise never get seen on these shores. They win hands down.

I wonder how Lollapalooza plans to compete? And the Pitchfork Music Fest?

What happened to my comments?

I said Bonnaroo is a sh*t line-up for of has-beens and wankers.

The Police have a 60 date tour lined up, so that’s nothing special. And only Rolling Stone cares about Bob Dylan and Pearl Jam.

The Arcade Fire are great, but they are playing every festival. Who cares?

I mean, it’s in Tennessee!

I think I used the “lord’s name in vain” in my original post. Is that why I was deleted?

TOM WAITS SUCKS!

Rock Am Ring 2007 will rule, although no bands have signed up i am just guessing

Really EH? a bunch of has-beens? 30 years from now people will still be lisetning to Bob Dylan and still wondering who arcade fire is a group of never will be’s.

My post about gay gangsta rappers was deleted yesterday…

but this Bonarro will make me go down to TN. Tom Waits and the Bob on the same stage? Zang.

hey a sensible man, who has no taste in music. i smell an emo fight.

Please tell me you are kidding that the Arcade Fire are great, but Pearl Jam is only cared about by RS. What an idiot.

Has-beens… meaning PAST THEIR PRIME.

I have no interest in rockers who don’t know when to quit. I want to see bands while they are at the top of their game… While they have some spirit left in them, some drive. It’s that energy that makes live music so enjoyable.

Now I’ve always been more of a 70’s and 80’s guy, myself. And I love New Order. But when I saw New Order a year ago, it was such a let down. What miserable wrecks they’ve become. A shell of their former selves. Their new songs were like cover versions of old songs, and their old songs were completely stripped of their soul.

That’s was a has-been is. It doesn’t mean you never did anything important. It means you lost track of what made you so good to begin with.

See Bob Dylan. Pearl Jam.

I agree on Dylan.

Have you ever seen Pearl Jam live though? I doubt it. Just because they aren’t as mainstream as they once were, does not mean they’ve given things up. Go listen to your emo.

For someone to say the Dylan or Pearl Jam are has-beens, it shows complete naivity on their behalf. Go to a Pearl Jam show and watch those “has-beens” blow the roof off whatever venue is lucky enough to have them for the 2.5 – 3 hours that they rock. Tell me that the new album doesn’t have the same fire and passion as Ten Tell me that Dylan’s lyrics aren’t still as poignant as they were 35 years ago. Have you seen or heard anything on his newest album? It is brilliant. Pearl Jams latest is politically charged, but rocks as hard as Ten while also showing the emotion that songs like Black have.

Dude, you can take 95% of today’s ‘new’ music, and throw it in the trash… it is a waste of computer memory.

looks to be the best bonaroo ever…i really dont need to listen to a dozen jam bands play 3 and a half hour sets so i can feel “really cool”. coachella is without question the finest music fest this country has to offer though, for sure.

pearl jam and dylan define both their generation and their genre…and both happened to produce their fair share of some of the finest popular music of the last 30 years. simple as that.

If they could get Radiohead and Wilco in there, THEN it would be the greatest ever.

haha if u think pearl jam are past their prime then i hope u get a front row seat at bonaroo and pj plays because ur dumb ass will be rocked (a lot harder then at any new order show from back in the day) may i add….

if the lineup you’re referring to is the same one you linked to on stereogum’s website earlier this week, it’s a fake. Or at least, Stereogum debunked it as a fake.

pearl jam was initially an aquired taste for me, but for my old neighbors who came from a sort of dysfunctional family, pearl jam ‘ten’ was like a cathartic revelation…

Oh look Coachella eats the Bonnaroo line-up for breakfast. Rage Against The Machine, The Roots, Arctic Monkeys, Chili Peppers etc is just a bombastic, ridiculously stupendous line up!

Bring it!

1. Pearl Jam still kicks ass!

2. Both line-ups sound great. Imagine if someone could put them together.

Everyone’s allowed a little daydream now and then.

Bonnaroo
Bonnaroo
Bonnaroo
This festival’s gonna kick ass! Tom Waits is a God!

Again with the “Creepy”. Corny.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eh: I think I used the “lord’s name in vain” in my original post. Is that why I was deleted?

Or you’re just a f*ckin idiot.

pearl jam and arcade fire are the shit. Best group from america and the best from canada, now if only radiohead would show

As far as the Bonnaroo vs Coachella argument goes, The Roo is by far the preminent north american festival. Everyone follows in their footsteps. I don’t mean to trash Goodman either, but as far as intrepid reporting goes this list has been disproving time and time again in the last two weeks. The Police and Bobby D will most likely be there. The list isn’t be released until Feb. 14 so as not to spoil The Police’s “suprise” performance at the beginning of the grammy’s on Feb. 11. As far as PJ goes, yes it would be amazing but it is highly unlikely with rumours of a show in Poland taking place on June 13th. Either way people can speculate as much as they want but come Feb. 14th there will be both suprises and rumours confirmed. Just know that no matter what, Coachella has nothing on Roo.

Sorry RS, but Pearl Jam just announced a Euro tour during Bonnaroo.

Where’s that fact checker!?

Baited breath for the Killers?
I like it.

I like it A LOT!

You guys are f!@king idiots. The linup isnt even out yet and your already arguing. Both festivals are great, bonnaroo is for hippies and coachella is for the indie scene. And, you have to pay some ridiculous price to go to coachella, what a rip off. I wouldnt pay 5 bucks to see crappy bjork. As for the people who keep saying they want Radiohead, dont count on it, u should have went bc it blew away their coachella performance. All love to the roo.

How is bonnaroo a bunch of has beens? The Wood Bros, Donovan Frankenreiter, bright eyes, g love, death cab, Cat power, Robert Randolph, My Morning Jacket, Umphrees Mcgee, Common, Blackalicious, clap your hand say yeah, jr. gong, Beck, Modeski Martin and Wood, RADIOHEAD Which one of these bands is a has been? NONE, If you dont know anything about the festivals or bands then ou should be banned from posting stuff. And to the person who is spittin hate at bonnaroo for its location, sorry, but not every festival can be in california because then you would have to pay some ridiculous price to see average bands.

Yo, Tennessee is a frickin’ amazing place for a show like this. Don’t bash it until you experience it for yourself!

string is awsome!

(awesome)

ok everyone lets not get to excited rumors are just that. I see WIlCO Friday, BOBDYLAN Saterday, and I really really really want STRING CHEESE and a suprise guest or 3 to join for a Sunday topping. Also Keller,MMW,MMJ,RJD2,Younder mountain,Soulive,Arcade fire, TOM WAITS, another big bulegrass peformer,and counting on Mars volta. I will go no matter who is playing I already have a ticket so I trust Superfly and AC enough to go not even seeing a line up that would be a reall suprise no line up and all suprises. BONNAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSK EY.

??? Nearly every poster on here is an idiot. Is everone on here 14 years old? Its a rock wet dream to see The Police, Tom Waits, and Bob Dylan on the same bill. It sounds like line up for adults who like music, not for fashionable children.

I’m glad its in TN, let the rest of the world wallow in watery pop garbage.

Bonnaroo is an experience unto itself. I have been the past three years and plan to go back this year. I would rather see a “has-been” Bob Dylan then the crap being sold as music that’s been coming out lately. Here’s hoping Deret Trucks and Del the Funky Homosapien are there.

I’ve been to Bonnaroo all 5 years and Coachella for the last 3 and they are apples and oranges! Go to both, don’t hate on either. Throw in a Lollapalooza (in my backyard) and you’ve got yourself quite the trifecta. I’ll be there…

is it true that people will drop acid on you for no reason?

This is a festival for music and arts, just like the festival in Cali. The fact that it’s in TN says nothing of the ppl or preformers that are going to be there. If you think , where this fest. is going to take place is crap, or inferior, you probably know nothing of Tn.

Now, as for who IS going to be there….that is not set in stone. I don’t understand what all this childish bitchin’ is getting anyone. In fact, I think it would be very amusing if no one in the “web leak” even showed up, and every band that was sopposed to go to coachella showed up at bonnaroo.

I’ve read in a couple of places that Tool is going to be there,,and that would be reason enough for me to show up but I’m not going to cross my fingers

And you vageegees out there that want to whine like little weenies feel free it is america but you are really talking to the wind when you are spaeking to smoeone like yourself

yes kiki that is true

Why can’t people be happy for her, her dream is coming true. Send out positive loving thoughts and something positive and nice will happen to you, some comments are really cruel, untrue and hurtful.
1- Mia voice and talent is genuine
2- She was born in London, England
and her parents are Portuguese, but her Dad was raised in Chelsea, London from a young age.
3- There was no scam or anything like that, other than people possibly watching her more than once, that’s it.

Good luck Mia

If they could only get some emo bands to play bonnaroo ! that would rawk !
