actualy I was thinking it could be really awesome if they had a DFA headlined night, and had LCD sound system, hot chip, the juan maclean, and yacht, all set up together and just play for like 3 hours! I think that would be really fun!

but m.i.a. into pavement wouldn't work. i love them both too. belle & sebastian would be stellar too.
is broken social scene unproven as a headliner?
gorillaz isn't really unproven but they would obviously fit the spot too

Biff , that is brilliant, you may be right. That's the idea, I'm hoping so. They would fit to close out a mellow Monday and I wouldn't mind that one bit.

band 1 into band 2 wouldn't work is a silly statement.
at Pemberton on Saturday night it was Death Cab into Jay-Z into Coldplay and it worked just fine

I know a lot of people didn't like the way Bonnaroo announced their lineup, but waiting until midnight for anyone not at the release party (and I'm in Houston, so that was hard to make) doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I was at least expecting some names to trickle out today, but it has really been the complete antithesis of the Bonnaroo announcement day. I hope the payoff isn't as anticlimactic...

Not looking at the headliners from past years anyway.

Gorillaz really is unproven. They sell albums, they don't tour, so it'd be a risk. Definitely not a US band.
I'll go out on a limb and say not them and not Franz Ferdinand either.

If this "unproven headliners" rumor is true, I don't think we could count Sonic Youth in

Hate to burst the bubble yet again, but my source explicitly stated Arcade Fire ain't on the bill and that Pavement is not headlining. Don't talk about bubble-bursting until the official lineup is out and you have transitioned from "random dude with a posting history in the single digits talking about his mysteriously connected friend" to "credible source to whom we can look for information in the future." I feel like I've made the big time with insterstateeight responding! I don't give a shit if any of you believe any of what I say, but it's nuts to take "unproven" and "not US" from my post and act as if that's fact but not take my concrete confirmations (no Arcade Fire and Pavement not headlining), too. If you're going to pick and chose what to believe, why not at least take the things my source was willing to be explicit about instead of his abstract and hard-to-define hints? I already apologized for not having more information or more evidence so if you feel the need to criticize my willingness to not fuck over a friend just for props from a message board community, refer to that. I'm not in the business of sidetracking threads, so I'll include one more hint that my source gave me that makes no sense to me. I fear he might just be pulling my leg with this one. But, hell, why not. "Those looking forward to the band Pavement leads into probably won't want Sunday to come slow." Is that even a hint? Maybe that Pavement is on Sunday not Monday...

I look at it like this. With no credentials, names, etc., nobody will believe you until you prove that you're a credible source. This isn't a shot at you, it's just how the world works. I could send in hundreds of tips to CoS saying that I spoke to the lead singer of Band X about headlining Sasquatch, but unless they can trust that the info is accurate they won't print it. Same thing here. Nobody's giving you shit, but at the same time you can't expect people to take your word as gospel just because you say you've got a source.

come slow is a reference to a Massive Attack Song...Saturday Come Slow off of their new album Heglioland.

so has it been determined whether they are going to announce names throughout the night or wait until exactly midnight?

Pavement leading into Massive Attack seems a little disjointed, or am I reading that wrong?

No, that's what's being suggested, Pavement then Massive Attack. Verrrry interesting choice.

I would see it more likely that they announce each day individually between sets saving the 3 headliners for the very end of the night.
