its not bonnaroo. there are always people bitching when pearl jam announces something. its just the way thing are around here unfortunately.
its like, the members of pearl jam should've called every member of the board to ask if they were ok with said plans before announcing them. how dare they!?
to all those who keep saying to those who don't want to go to festivals should broaden their minds....fuck off...not wanting to go to a festival has shit to do what bands are there....hell aren't all the bands playing at roo touring also? if i want to see the screaming memees i'll catch them when they're in my town....and a lot of us don't like to stand in a field for 4 days without bathing....hygiene is a great thing, check it out sometime.....to all those going have a blast....some of us would like to just see pj....is that so goddamn hard for some of you to understand?
And those people are also going to miss out on a Led Zeppelin Reunion
im gonna kick myself if that happens! but ill be even more pissed if i spend all that money and it doesnt happen! not a chance im willing to take... i dont see why the roo people would keep something like that under wrap... they would sell SOOOO many more tickets if people knew
lolla was my first festival last year and we had a blast, i would even consider going back this year if the line up is half decent. i am not going to bonnaroo simply because of the fact that it is too much money for me to spend and that there are no showers. dont need to take a 13 hour drive from philly to sweat my ass off for 4 days and then take a very stinky 13 hour ride home. hope everyone enjoys the festival, ill just cross my fingers for a return to the gorge
Small my table, seats just 3, its not crowded, its just lucky me

well said...i went to lolla last year just for day 3 and had a blast. setlist was standard, but i love all those greatest hits just as much as any other. all in all, i had a great time and i would consider going to bonn, but i just don't think it will happen this year. it sounds like a load of fun, but truthfully, camping for 4 days in a field with no shade to block the sun in the mornings is just something i'm not willing to experience. i have done it before but never more than two mornings like that at once. it will be hot a fuck, filthy dirty with no showers, filthy dirty cans to shit in, rediculously priced everything. i'm over it....have fun all you kiddies.
No time to be void and save up on life, you gotta spend it all.

Well, you're wrong. I honestly can't recall the exact capacity of the place (I think it's 100,000, but I'm pretty sure it's 90,000). With this current lineup, I could see them potentially selling fewer tickets than last year (just over 80,000). However, more bands will be announced, and without Led Zeppelin, they'll still MOST of the tickets. It's not like they're double their ticket sales because of Zeppelin. If they know for a fact that Zeppelin is going to play Bonnaroo, they would be smart to hold off, otherwise the whole damn thing will sell out all because of Zeppelin... perhaps they'd be giving fans of other bands playing there an opportunity to buy festival passes... then when it's closer to the date they could announce Zeppelin... it would certainly completely sell out then, but at least everyone not going just because of Zeppelin would have gotten their chance. Or is my reasoning out to lunch here? (Maybe my explanation sucked.)
Oh, and I live much further away than Buffalo, and last year's Bonnaroo was oh-so-fucking-worth the drive!

The best part about all of this is, no one is forcing you to go to Bonnaroo! Its going to be awesome and nobody wants to here anyones complaints about it. Its a rock concert! There are bigger things to be venting about in the world.

that's why it should have stayed a semi-underground hippie festival.
I just hope it doesnt turn into Woodstock 99.
