What Do You Guys Feel About The Other Acts?

Postby JP2026766 » Tue Feb 05, 2008 10:45 pm

Metallica, Allman Brothers, Jack Johnson, MMJ, State Radio, Sigur Ros...I think this will be a pretty cool festival. I would assume PJ would get the last night over Metallica, every media outlet is listing PJ ahead of Metallica.

Ditto

Great list there otherwise and they always add more acts later.

Jack Johnson is great, B.B. King , and Willie Nelson put on a fun show, i actually seen both those guys within 3 days of each other back 01. i've seen Ben Folds, he is lots of fun.

as far as Metallica goes, i dont really care one way or the other, ive seen them when i was an angry teenager, they put on the same show all 4 times i seen them. but really, they can be fun if you take it for what it is.
Peace, Love.

Simple deduction. Metallica's site is already reporting them on Friday night.

Bonnaroo has also, I understand, shown a tendency to put their less-significant headliner on Sunday night. Makes for less people on the farm that day and slightly easier traffic situation on Sunday night.

Im kinda disappointed with the line up (I dislike Metallica so much too)... the bands are ok I guess, but none of those bands have enough pull with me to make me travel and spend that much money... I had already made the decision of going with my husband and some friends but after seeing the line up Pearl Jam would be the only band I'd be going for and it doesnt justify the expense.

I'm going to think about it, but so far is looking like I'm changing my mind and waiting for some other shows

I'm disappointed but I will be going anyways. Wish Ween, Flaming Lips and a few others were on there but oh well. PEARL JAM!

Plus the comedy is going to be fucking hilarious too. All funny people! Jim Fucking Norton!

55-60 bucks per day for all of those acts? Of course it is. You'd pay close to the full ticket price for just one Rolling Stones show. Very diverse lineup with a lot of acts. The ticket price may seem steep, but when ya do the math, it's a great value for the amount of stuff they have on tap. And they'll be announcing more later on.
