  • This is a bummer. Coachella is way easier for me to do. Maybe they'll do both.
    Let's see those 2013 dates in the southern states.

    Don't underestimate Bonnaroo as some typical festival. I've gone for the last two years and have never seen a congregation of great crowds, great performances, and great activities like Bonnaroo. When I saw Radiohead there in 2006 they played their longest set ever (Headliners technically get 4 hour slots) and still plan on releasing the show on DVD. Not to mention that a lot of PJ's buddies are regulars (My Morning Jacket and Kings of Leon especially). I believe the guy who had Jeff in his class and am feeling really good about the chances of PJ playing this year and it being one of their best shows ever. There is a lot of potential for them to do all kinds of cool stuff throughout the weekend like acoustic sets, a solo Eddie set, and plenty of opportunity for guest slots. All of this and if this happens to be their only show in the South then they'll give those Southern PJ fans what they've been asking for all this time. Mark my words if PJ plays it will be epic...

    I agree. I went to Roo last year and it was by far the best festival I've ever been too. I'm just not gonna get overly excited if PJ are there. I love PJ as much as the next fan, but I wanna go to Roo again to experience new bands. On the other hand if PJ are there I'd love to see Ed, Mike or Matt play in the superjam or something. Highly doubtful, but maybe they'll show up elseware.
    Any motels near the site in Manchester?

    It's a camping festival. There are some hotels, but very few.

    To the guy asking about price - it's about $200 for the 4 days. I don't recall them selling single day passes.

    Everything in Manchester and really close by is already booked up for the weekend- I got a hotel just for Sunday night before the drive back in a town about 20 miles out. If you're going to get a hotel, do it now before PJ and everyone else is announced

    i think they had tickets called day passes, where essentially you just drove in every day instead of camping.

    There is also going to be a Coachella East in NJ in august. So hopefully they will either play that or the Vineland festival in NJ, which is put together by the same people who do Lolla.

    Thats so annoying that those companies are planning competing festivals on the same weekend in the same state, Honestly why would you do that other than to try and take business away from the other fest. Im from New York and I think i would be great to have a new festival for east coast fans to attend but they are going to end up alienating customers. We already have tough choices of what bands we choose to see at the fest due to lineup conflicts, now were gonna have a whole fest to conflict with another, makes a lot of sense. On a side note I think the Vineland fest will be the better of the 2 due to camping and late night sets, its all about late night as any Bonnaroo fan will tell you.

    well, from what I have read there will be three festivals that weekend...vineland, coachella east, and the virgin fest in baltimore (?)...and it seems that vineland has been running into some opposition from the locals, and with the reports that coachella east has signed radiohead and jack johnson they may have already taken the lead in that regard (there is supposed to be an announcement of sorts to go along with the coachella linuep this afternoon)...it sure will be a busy summer either way, not to mention lollapalooza is the weekend before

    pj or not I will be driving down for bonnaroo yet again...hands down the best festival experience in the US...and yes the late nights are killer...some of the best sets in recent years have started past midnight...flaming lips...my morning jacket...the mars volta

    well, the sooner you get your ticket the cheaper it will be...first price tier usually sells out in the first few minutes, the second takes a month or so, and so on

    and it looks like we have a new design and layout for the bonnaroo website...Sweet!...lineup and tickets shouldn't be far behind

    I meant you're not funny making false announcement posts..

    and I'll stand by the fact that Euro shows have a better atmosphere..that said Bonnarro seems more akin to a proper festival..

    your post makes it like they ARE playing Coachella, posted at the exact time the line-up is due to be announced (and they're not in the announcement).
    if that not false post I don't know what is..

    and it's not 'man' ;)

    Hmm, same hill and treeline as in last years poster. Do you think they will use the same poster for this year? It is an awsome poster, but would kinda suck if they did.

    There are a few towns 15-30 miles out that still have rooms, but book it NOW before they announce the line-up
