I thought Phish was headlining Bonaroo?
Phish is playing (twice), but it looks like they're a bit prouder of Bruce.
You posted the Lollapalooza lineup under the Bonaroo lineup also. (I know that's easy to do when festivals are so incredibly repetitive, but I thought I'd point that out)
you know, first of all I am pretty sure the festival organizers are pretty proud that Phish is playing their festival since they are the first band ever to be billed as playing two shows on the main stage. This festival would not even exist if it wasn't for the inspiration of the festivals created by Phish that led to superfly deciding to have festivals in the first place. Which, I might add, started the festival movement that we are so happy to finally have in the US. Just because a band doesn't fit into your hipster bullshit idea of what cool is doesn't mean that people aren't excited to see good music.
@ fikustree I'm sure that the Bonnaroo organizers are exceedingly proud of their Phish booking, but when you list Bruce Springsteen before Phish in your line-up, it usually means that he is the headlining act. It is not an opinion or some "idea of coolness", it is a fact. And even if it weren't a fact, how can it be bullshit to state an opinion?
My opinion is that Phish is lame—and I can back that up with experiential data, as I saw them once in Steamboat—but I don't like jam bands. I feel like carrying a blinking "Wrap It Up!" sign around with me when there is going to be a jam band in my vicinity.
