Bonnaroo vs. Coachella

We all have seen the line-ups for each festival, now which one do you prefer?

-I prefer Bonnaroo beacuse each bands gets much longer sets, meaning My Morning Jacket will get a regular set time compared to them at Coachella. Also, Beck and Radiohead is a great addition, with more to come.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to be at Coachella this year, especially getting the chance to see Bloc Party.

    I think Coachella has a slightly better lineup, but i saw lots of similarities in both of them. I think it depends on what coast you are on.

    bonnaroos lineup is dissapointing. no panic, no cheese, no mule, no yonder, no umphreys, no trey, no claypool.








    that said i will still take it over coachella.

    damn dirty hippies ;)

    seriously though... branch out a little. there's more to music than a 25 minute guitar jam. and i dont even like radiohead.

    its not that i refuse to listen to other types of music, its that i have listened to a lot of the bands on the bonnaroo lineup this year and didn't like their sound. Just my opinion. Plus, no one puts on a show the way yonder or umphreys or other such bands do. Cant argue with 3 hours of ass kickin music.

    fair enough. i used to tag along that kind of circuit. it got old fast. and if you stop taking psychedelic drugs, that sounds REALLY gets old fast :) just my 2 cents though. just giving you a hard time!

    Bonnaroo

    Side note: I went to the first Bonnaroo, and wore my Yellow Birds Pearl Jam shirt everyday. And at least 3 times a day someone came up to me and said, "When in Pearl Jam going to play a jam festival?"
    I wondered the same thing....they may not jam the same as "hippie jam bands" but they still jam out, right??? So why wont they play a jam festival?
    Bonnaroo this year has:

    Radiohead
    Tom Petty
    BEck
    Phil & friends
    Bonnie Raitt
    Death Cab
    moe.
    Bela Fleck

    I agree i expect a few more of the main stays to show up. If Neil Young get s on the bill again that will convince me to go.

    This is just the initial lineup for Bonnaroo. In the following weeks they will announce many more bands. They did this last year, and a ton of more bands were announced, including the Black Crowes.

    Im keeping my fingers crossed for Ben Harper, Ryan Adams, Wilco, and Drive By Truckers.

    That cracked me up.......because its true. I saw panic all fucked up and thought they rocked. Then i saw um sober and i was just confused. Good musicianship is cool but 15 songs that last 30min each is boring unless its done right.... and thats hard to do. The Crowes jam alot but they keep ya interested by rocking out. A lot of those bands just do 30min space jams and it bores me to tears.

    i have heard a lot of people say that, but i have been to see panic once, trey twice, umphreys twice, keller williams twice, particle twice, yonder once and claypool once. at none of these shows was i stoned or drunk and i enjoyed every single one of them a lot. so maybe jam bands are an acquired taste. i dunno.

    Tool and Death Cab are the only ones worthwhile at Coachella to me this is a pretty lame lineup this year in comparison to year's past.... Bonnaroo has the dominance IMO.

    Bonnaroo all the way!
