Ok people, let's discuss this fucking lineup (more than we already have been in various other threads). First of all, if you haven't already, go listen to More Than Any Other Day and get really excited to see Ought. Then, watch this video and tell me K-Dot isn't going to kill it at the Gorge.

This is the year of afternoon sets. The lower card is so stacked unlike last May's (June would have rivaled) and the lead-ups are delightfully jam packed. Still optimistic for some Chupacabra additions (don't know how reasonable that is).

Kendrick is going to have y'all going bananas. Best crowd involvement I have ever seen at a show in the Key Arena was this dude. He did it all with no fucking hype men.

Can someone enlighten me as to how to interpret the schedule? Are the top two acts for each day the headliner and subheadliner, with the third being the late night bigfoot show? or not necessarily? If tame impala conflicts with kendrick or st. vincent with robert plant, that's just fucking depressing.

Like paint by numbers nu-disco bubble gum bullshit that would make some of the boring acts from last year cringe. Ugh.

No disrespect to the man but Ryan Adams at like number five on the poster is a little weak

Kendrick Lamar was the most disappointing act of bonnaroo 2013 for me. He came out drunk. His crowd involvement became annoying really quickly. There's potential for a quality performance but at a festival don't get your hopes up.

Run the Jewels will be the best hiphop act either way.

They were great at Blockparty two years ago and then one time Killer Mike passed me a bottle of Cristal.

After their first performance at the Hawthorne, they literally signed autographs and bullshitted with fans for over an hour after the show. Both him and El-P are some cool dudes.

Killer Mike's set at Sasquatch 2013 was one of the all time greatest things I've ever experienced in my life. I can't fucking wait to finally get to see RTJ as a whole.

Kendrick also came out over a half hour late for his set at last year's Pemberton...hopefully since he's headlining that won't be an issue. I mean, he's the first fucking name on the poster.
Can also attest to to extreme awesomeness and down-to-earthitude of both halves of RTJ. I've rubbed Killer Mike's belly for luck way too many times.

My dudes!! We got Bishop Nehru... NehruvianDOOM! Seriously, anyone into hip hop needs to get on board with this MF Doom project. This kid is going to kill it, so stoked I get to see him live. 24 hours in from the lineup announcement and I've found my first hidden gem. I love Sasquatch season!

I've seen Kendrick twice, once at free show sponsored by The Fader and then opening for Kanye on the Yeezus tour and he was incredible both times. Great energy, knows how to work the crowd and had a live band for the Yeezus tour. I'll be shocked and majorly disappointed if he doesn't shut the festival down in a major way.

I was pumped to see this as well but then lost my hard on when I realized Doom wasn't coming with. Still should be a good show nonetheless.
