Honestly, it doesn't get me there unless I can go for free. Tickets are expensive and theres really only a few bands announced so far that I'd like to see. All in all, other fests are going to be getting my money this year. Maybe it's just because I'm not a boss fan.

[Ass Hat]

I'd like to go this year, but as you said the only good few bands that were announced that I'd care to see. Last year would have been a badass lineup.

[Falc]

Phish (2 Shows)
Beastie Boys
Nine Inch Nails
Snoop Dogg
Down

Those are the only things Id care to see. How much are tickets this year, and I forget, where is it hosted at?

[false]

I went last year... saw tiesto, sigur ros, tegan and sarah, death cab, :D :D

This year looks amazing, wtf are you talking about? I mean I sneak in every year so it's a free party for 4 days :D

Animal collective,
snoop dogg
paul oakenfold
bela fleck
nin
beastie boys

I mean every year i only see like 6-10 bands anyways. I'm super stoked for 09. Animal collective is my favorite band :D

[sugarbunny]

Wow I was REALLY hoping outkast would be there, I would loveee to see some of their old stuff life.

[WiReS]

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Beastie Boys
Snoop Dogg
The Mars Volta
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Decemberists
Animal Collective
The Ting Tings

would be interesting.

[wng-]

Phish (2 Shows)
David Byrne
Paul Oakenfold
MGMT
moe.
Béla Fleck & Toumani Diabate
Galactic

Would be the only acts I'm interested in. For $250+ it doesn't get me there. Especially because chances are at least 2 or 3 of those bands will overlap and I'll have to miss out on them.

You also need to figure in all the acid/2c-*/dmt/ecstasy/opium/all other drugs you'd be buying and consuming there.

Every festival has similar costs in that department, so it's not really a consideration when I'm trying to decide between different ones.

For what it's worth, I already have tickets to camp bisco and gathering of the vibes, and their ticket prices were $115 and $130, respectively.

[Falc]

Wow that's really expensive. Add ting tings to my list just so I could stare at the girl in the band while she sings.

[DiverDan]

For how much they charge shed better do more than sing. The lineup kind of sucks this year. I should've gone last year.

[WiReS]

Who went last year? And yeah, The Ting Tings singer is hot. She can't sing for shit in live performances though..

[HAL]

Beastie Boys
David Byrne
Wilco
Al Green
Snoop Dogg
Animal Collective
Yeah, that's about all I'd want to see. not that great of a lineup

That sucks, in their mp3s she sings decent when she's actually singing and not just repeating syllabus from words.

[Ass Hat]

Elvis Costello anybody?

[Alex]

Phish (2 Shows)
Beastie Boys
Nine Inch Nails
Snoop Dogg

That's all I'd go see.

[the_don420]

Not sure if I want to spend $230+ when all I really want to see is
Bruce Springsteen, Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, Ben Harper, The Mars Volta, TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MGMT, The Decemberists, Bon Iver, Animal Collective, and Okkervil River.

[Introspective]

Dude look at it this way, say you want to see those twelve bands and it costs $230 to get in, that's $19 per band, not bad...

not to mention the drug scene is bangin'

[red eyed]

I think people just don't know that there are other fests that are just as fun and that bonnaroo used to be a lot better. I might just go to see phish, I need to see them badly.

[the_don420]

That's true in some respects. You've just got to add in the plane ticket, or at least gas for driving, and a place to stay when I'm up there. Where as if I see the individually somewhere near by, I'm willing to bet it's be somewhat cheaper.

Eh, I don't know that going is really even a possibility anyway, I need a damn job first. I've got months to decide in any case. lol

Preliminary band schedule, few conflicts that kind of suck:

Beastie Boys vs. David Byrne
Bela Fleck vs. Animal Collective vs. Galactic
Paul Oakenfold vs Pretty Lights vs. Girl Talk
moe. vs NIN vs Ben Harper vs. MGMT

No superjam.

Don't think I'm going anyways.

[DiverDan]

Am I the only person who really hates Girl Talk?

Awww what the fuck! That blows major. Out of the few people I want to see the majority conflict. Motherfuck. Rothbury > Bonnaroo

You can stay in a tent for free :)

The only thing that costs money is food and drugs and booze.
And ofcourse the ticket.

[liquid_air]

I'd go just to see snoop dogg, cuz i've never seen him in real life, just heard his music and seen him on TV. Looks like a LONG lineup though. I bet it will be a blast. Maybe I'll go next year.

[Quoth the Raven]

Godamn.. the only two artists I'd be remotely interested in seeing would be Gov't Mule and NIN.. maybe the mars volta as well.

Nice thing about the UK, everything's closer to everything else, so it's not a big problem to go to festivals all over Britain :D

Heh, if you're ever around London way hit me up, I know of loads of shit going on.. at most of them the drug use is right out in the open, you can buy just about anything (even saw bromo-dragonfly for sale at one of them).
