now THAT is a badass lineup.

isn't it?!

Can anyone in there play a song longer than 10 minutes?

Very solid lineup, I actually recognize almost all the names.

what?

^^^ I was thinking the exact same thing...

WTF?

Are they all so good that you had to shout?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!



(actually i just copy and pasted)

"10 minutes"...meaning, a joke.

Where's the Allman Bros.?

you're "joke" still makes no sense

and there are always additions that come later, although Umphrey's McGee has already confirmed their spot.

OK, none of the headliners do long songs. I'm wrong, sorry.

so, the joke is that you know they DO play long songs...right?

and i'm willing to bet dylan isn't a "headliner". they probably just billed him that way out of respect. no way he could carry a headlining spot at a fest like this.

warren haynes' wife said on a radio station that SCI would be the friday headliner, and there are rumors of two dead shows, which probably means saturday night w/ 4th of july fireworks, and closing out the fest.

broken social scene

Had no idea String Cheese was back together and/or playing shows.

SCI I am very excited about.

Gov't Mule will be awesome as always.

Girl Talk should be one of the more fun shows to catch.

ugggh I gotta get tickets for this festival!

they're not as of yet. right now rothbury is their only date known. haven't heard anything about a tour.

JPeterman...if you like Girl Talk, make sure you check out Pretty Lights, EOTO, Chromeo, MSTRKRFT, The Disco Biscuits, and STS9. you can actually download Pretty Lights' two albums for free at www.prettylightsmusic.com .

not to mention we've got Lyrics Born, Toubab Krewe, Gift of Gab(which is basically Blackalicious), and DAMIEN MARLEY W/ NAS! damn...i'm friggin' stoked.

Damian Marley puts on a helluva show! That is gonna be sick with Nas. I'm jealous.

new rumors have popped up. supposedly some guy who went to a smaller festival in michigan this past weekend spoke with a couple of official madison house folks. this was his info:

- The Dead is the ONLY real "headliner" that has already been announced thus far; everybody else on the current lineup will either play earlier, on a non-Odeum(main) stage, or deliver a late-night set of some kind

- Neil Young and Umphrey's[McGee] are both CONFIRMED and will be officially announced soon... yeah, I know we've known Umphrey's for a while, but it definitely contributes to credibility
[umphrey's has already been confirmed, but not yet officially added, so we know that's true]

- Phish is trying to break their one single contract binding them to exclusivity at Bonnaroo - in other words, part of their 'Roo contract mandated that it be their only summer fest appearance, but Madison House intended all along for Rothbury '09 to be a Phish showcase. It's still unclear whether or not they'll be able to pull it off.


at this point i highly doubt phish shows up. however, i'm really excited at the probability of Neil being added. he's got a new album out, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

however, if phish DOES get added, well, i win at festival life this summer

Meh, phish.

Phish is terrible.

you're right...just awful

i'm debfacing you really hard right now
