2008 Bonnaro Lineup

the main rumor on the Bonnaroo messageboards is that they'll announce Led Zeppelin as a headliner after tickets have been onsale a while. it is odd how last night news outlets like the AP immediately announced that led zep was headlining and then took down the article with no retraction statement.

that would be cool, but why would they have Lez Zeppelin on the bill?

I think this is a massive oops, as the lineup has "Lez Zeppelin". It's an all female Led Zeppelin cover band.

Why is that an oops, seeing as Led Zeppelin was rumoured as once playing the festival, why not schedule a tribute band because the real thing isn't available.

PJ have confirmed…

I figured someone saw Lez Zeppelin on the bill, read it incorrectly and got overexcited. Just a guess.

yeah, but on the other hand if they did book Led Zeppelin how else would they announce it without being unfair to the people that go to Bonnaroo every year? Tickets would fly as soon as they confirmed zep as headliner so if they booked them I could see how a late announcement would be to everyone's benefit.

I thought Page was pretty clear that nothing with Zeppelin would happen until after Plant's tour with Allison Krauss.

..but then again, what about the zeppelin fans? This would lead to scalper's dream and tickets selling for an insane amount of money. I hope Zeppelin will just do their own headlining tour.

I'd much rather see an all lesbian Led Zeppelin cover b..actually, I'd rather just see any random group of lesbians than the actual Led Zeppelin.

Hurry up and love/hate them before your friends do.

Get with the program man. The Black Kids are last week's hip band, this week is all about Fuck Buttons.

Gawd….I feel like such a square….


I can see Azaghal digging Fuck Buttons, but not much mass appeal. Or maybe that's just my inner hipster backlashing.

R'n R Hotel march 30th.

I do dig Fuck Buttons. :)

Very psyched for that show. Still also yet to see caribou; another act that I've dug for a while.

Headbanger!

I didn't get that PJ email. Still happen to have it?

This fest > vfest for me, i see over 15 acts I'd want to see.

Too bad I can't go. Damn class reunions.

I won't go because there's only a handful of bands I'd want to see, and they likely all won't play the same day. Plus, as mentioned before, Pearl Jam is doing a larger tour this year. Plus, Nicole Atkins is already playing R&R Hotel and I've seen Metallica twice and at least a dozen of the other bands.

Who I'd see:
Pearl Jam
Robert Planet & Alison Krauss
The Raconteurs
O.A.R.
Iron & Wine
Talib Kweli
Mastodon
Robert Randolph
Nicole Atkins

Please outdo this, V Fest.

how about waiting until vfest announces its lineup before saying that?

It takes massive balls to say that you'd see OAR on this board.

So while your honesty is admirable, your taste should definitely be derided.

Here's the important bit

Dear 10c member-

Happy New Year!

We're all really excited about 2008 and we really hope you are, too. While it's still too early to make any big announcements, we want to let you all know that the band is looking forward to a busy year …


(the rest goes on to talk about the VERY limited vinyl release for vedders's solo album)

i'd rather go here than coachella.

when do you think theyll announce lolla?
