No way I'd ever pay that price.

This looks like a fun time to me.

I'm not going this year and probably not ever again. But there is always a ton of good music there and a ton that you have never heard that maybe, just maybe, might be your favorite band that you just haven't heard yet.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?

Diversity is great, but Bonnaroo has become too diverse over the past few years. I don't particularly like the venue that much (it's ok but it's SO humid there that time of year). The following are the acts I'd be interested in:

Pearl Jam, Dead & Co., Tame impala, Jason Isbell, Father John Misty, The Wood Bros, Sam Bush Band, and Steep Canyon Rangers. Not enough to justify the price. Honestly, I haven't heard of half the acts on that list, I guess I'm gettin' old, I never though I'd be saying that at 25.

Too diverse for you. Too diverse for me as well. But that doesn't make it a shitty festival. It makes it a great festival for people that like VERY diverse music at a festival. That also doesn't mean that people only go there to get stupid and don't care about the music. There are some, if not a lot, that that does apply to. But not all. And not having heard of half of the bands doesn't neccesarily mean you are getting old it just means that... no, you're getting old. But that's ok too. Most of the people that are outside of our sphere have no idead who JRAD or Umphrey's or moe. or Golden Gate Wingmen or even Dead & Co are. Doesn't mean they are old just different spheres.

I've always found the big festival lists to contain a couple of acts I would pay to see, a larger number that I wouldn't mind seeing, then an equal number I've heard of with favorable impression, a handful I'd avoid, and a big block of unknowns. Once I sort it all out, factor in cost, drive time and living/eating conditions I lose interest in the overall exercise.

This list has fewer top acts I'd like to see and the average number of "undercards."

But I remind myself that one of my favorite shows at Lockn 3 was an unknown to me (Moon Alice).

This list seems heavily weighted with one management company's acts, which is (or was) involved with the production of the fest itself. Just a point of interest; nothing to do with the quality.

I think the name that had me scratching my head the most was the Claypool Lennon Delirium. As a bass player I have a tremendous amount of respect for Les and usually find most of his projects worth checking out, if not always entirely listenable. This is one I would go into with no expectations and who knows, it could be fantastic. Or not. Time will tell I guess.
