Bonnaroo It Is

After totally being underwhelmed by what Coachella is offering this year, I kept hoping that Bonnaroo would be able to pick up the slack and give us something in the US to look forward to festival wise. Until yesterday, I thought I would have to just skip the whole damn thing and head off to the UK for some lineups that actually have an impact.

Bonnaroo came through though. Besides having almost every act from Coachella on their lineup, Bonnaroo also added some impact names and some names that will sell tickets. I will be shocked if Coachella sells out this year. Oh, they might call it a sell out, but if it is, it will be because they reduced the number of tickets to where it could sell out. I can't even talk about it because I am so disappointed. They didn't even try at all this year. All of the people they normally ask to help them, never received a call. It was like they thought that because of their reputation, they could just gets acts to beat down their door and play. It doesn't work that way and hopefully next year they will go back to the way it was. Yes, they have some good acts that I want to see, but very, very few. To give you an example. I love Tegan and Sara. Love them, love them, love them. As much as I love them, I realize that most people have not heard of them. At Coachella they are billed 15th. At Bonnaroo which they are also playing they are billed 35th.

To provide a fair comparison I have provided lineups to both festivals. If you had to choose one festival, which would you choose?
