GOOGLE DOCS COLABORATIVE UPDATES
____________________________________________________________________________
Last update: November 16th, 2022
Welcome to the Bonnaroo 2023 rumor and confirmation thread. This year we're doing things a little different, at the top of the page there is a link to a Google Docs sheet that's going to have multiple collaborators. If you're interested in being a collaborator, send me a message or email me at . All I ask is that you update it in the format that I have set up, makes it easy to copy and paste into the thread
With artist tour dates starting to pop up and festival lineups dropping for 2022, we can get a decent picture of who may be there and who is likely not going to be there due to conflicting dates
Before we begin, here's a quick look at 2019, 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022 Rumor and Confirmation threads.
How did we do last year? 2/2 correct for confirmed, 3/6 for semi confirmed, 4/8 for rumored, 10/91 for speculative, 1/67 unlikely, and 1/131 out ended up making it. Thanks for the breakdown Topherhov
BONNAROO DATES: June 15th-18th
Please include links to the rumor or confirmation if possible.
Typically speaking, Bonnaroo doesn't have artists come back to back each year.
Any help you guys can get is appreciated. The majority of the finds are done by you all, with that being said let's go over a couple ground rules, same as last year. I may not include every artist that gets mentioned - if I don't add your pick don't be offended. Also, I'm only one person, I'll try to update this post as much as possible - just be patient. The bigger the name, the more likely it's going to be added, especially the "OUT" section.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Here is a quick guide to the different categories in this thread:
Confirmed: [Roo clues with indisputable answers, Artist confirmations, Bonnaroo confirmations]
Semi-Confirmed: [Roo clues with unclear answers, Leaks, Info from reliable sources]
Rumored: [Second hand sources, "I talked to a guy involved with the band"]
Speculative: [Open tour dates, in the area, no tour dates in radius within timeframe]
Unlikely: [Tour dates that make appearance seem unlikely, TN dates, overseas before/after Roo]
Out: [No Bonnaroo dates open, TN dates near Bonnaroo, at other festivals/overseas during Roo]
Please note: Take everything in this thread with a grain of salt! Roo clues are sometimes incorrect, artists are sometimes incorrect, etc. In 2019, all of the artists listed under "Confirmed", "Semi-Confirmed", & "Out" were correct. However in the "Possible" section, only 20 artists listed were on the lineup. In the "Rumored" section, only 4/11 artists listed were booked and in "Unlikely", 4 artists listed ended up on the lineup.

A date in TN from March-August makes someone a bit less likely to attend Roo due to potential Radius Clauses. These matter the most for bigger artists. There are exceptions, like Billy Strings in 2022 who had a Ryman residency the month before but those were reschedules.
