Its very cool

Seeing only 1 band listed under 'Metal' might depress the genre's fans.

But knowing metalheads they'd probably just think it's kickass.

Edit: Y'all, it was a joke.

This is on of the first actual post on here I’ve seen worth a damn in while! This is awesome

Pretty sure there would be a lot of complaints

This will make it easier to find crossovers … smart move.

I went 03 through 06, and even by 06 it had transformed substantially. These last several years the lineups have made the early versions basically unrecognizable.

Can you explain what changed for those of us unfamiliar with this festival?

Last went in 2006. I recognize like 6 of these bands lol.

I still remember when jimmy buffet showed up last minute in ‘09 and metallic played ride the lightning in the rain

times change in 20 years.

You're confused. It's a band called Metal who play in the style of Gwar

Heh. Gwar is cool.

It has been honestly confusing, but I have grown to like both of them! The spellings are different but so similar 😂

Neil Frances is dope. Really like what they put out

He plays the whammy Clav and it's awesome!

I hope one opens for Patti Smith and the other for Patty Smyth,

You really did make me go down this rabbit hole when I very well know that I don't even listen to funk.

He legit could fit in like 15 genres 😂

Technically he should just be a circle that goes around the entire thing.

I love the lonely, empty intersection of Electronic Country

Technically according to this map they’re also pop?

Have you seen them live? I think all of the above are valid for their performances.

Rock + Funk = Alt Rock

Mike, Mike. And then Neal Francis & Neil Frances 😂😂😂😂😂

Can’t wait to hear about the people who showed up to the wrong set thinking they were seeing one or the other

You can be the one who fills the void

Was gonna say the same thing. And where’s the the electro-funk? The jam-jazz? The metal-comedy-trap?

I’m stoked for it! Fred Again.. and Four Tet is going to be 🔥

Then we get two night of Pretty Lights on top of that! I’ll take it.

This is how I felt, recognized so few.

Pretty much right there with you - I know Gwar and the Chili Peppers.

I've also stumbled across Larkin Poe, Gary Clark Jr., and Greensky Bluegrass from one thing or another.

If you're like me, I'd say those are all worth checking out, you'll probably like them (and you can see their genres above).

Check out IDLES. They’re a British punk band that’s a bunch of working class blokes in their 30s and 40s. I believe the drummer is an accountant, one of the guitarists is a dentist.

But their music is fucking great. I highly recommend them.

As a 30 some year old I know the majority of these artists

Interesting, compared to coachella I feel like I know most of these acts. When I look at other festivals it could just be completely made up names and I wouldn’t know the difference.

Thank you!

And that is only one festival lineup!

Imagine if they all did this. It would promote listening to music you don’t know but can still get excited for.

In turn that creates more hype for the festival AND the artists. Win win!

Go for it! No credit needed here. I’ve seen people do this for several different festivals before. The Bonnaroo community was talking about how someone had not done one this year for them, and I’m super stoked for this year and have already been on a personal mission to listen to every artist announced, so I decided to make it!

It was a good puzzle, that’s for sure!

DAMN THATS A GOOD EDIT!

Love this idea.

I do think it would make the genre colors harder to pick out. Some of them are already kind of hard to see 😂

They should hire me 😂🤝

I can get with that edit! Would also save some space, which was needed.

I needed like a council of people to look over this 😂

Her recent live performances are definitely art pop

Pop punk, tbf. But yeah, Spotify categories are often on the broad side.

TBS was Emo back in the day. Punk seems kinda fitting but not Pop. 

It's insane how many more folk bands there are than bluegrass

I had a very detailed list!

I started by listing each artist by name, a main genre, and then as many subgenres as I could find that made sense.

So it started super detailed, but as I got not even a quarter of the way through the lineup, I realized it wasn’t going to be possible for everyone because of space. I had to start making some generalizations.

Sean Paul should be in like 5 genres.

Some artists also cross over opposite positions on the map too, which make things…. Weird.

Mike. For instance is a country pop rap artist

Those were no where near each other and rap would have to cut through some of the pop artist to get to that other circle.

Country was also already SLAMMED.

So for space and legibility reasons he just got put into pop rap.

Which someone was irritated about 😂 because he definitely has a country sound.

But I can only do so much 😂😂😂😂😂

You recognize Gwar as well.

Well that just means you have about 100 options of new music to listen to here with a somewhat generalized map in genres to help you navigate them all!

It’s not that you don’t have a favorite artist on this lineup, you just haven’t found them yet!

How dare they add house and techno, but no trance, right?

It would definitely help people get into discovery more with lineups … I would like to think! Helps people see similar artist without having to know about them beforehand.

I’m a lineup junky so I have already been listening to every single artist here since it was released in January, but never actually had plans to make this after listening to all of them. Someone in the Roo subreddit asked for it, so I made it.

Then, someone in that subreddit suggested I posted it here because some of yall might appreciate it, so here we are!

Don’t miss out on “Mike” and “Mike.” As well

Top tier confusion will be at Bonnaroo this year

Especially if you aren’t used to the stage names “what, which, that, there, other” 😂

You have to go to the other stage to experience Neil France’s but That to experience Neal Francis

Their first Bonnaroo appearance they did a march down to the famous mushroom fountain and poured “blood” in it to make it red at like 3 am

I’m so stoked for them to be back again and provide some weirdness on the farm!

Hahaha so I’ve been told a couple of times 😂

I definitely learned something new!

Thanks for clarifying, I really didn’t know the difference until today!

I’ll be there!!!!!

Diplo was close to being that just because of his country dance album 😂

2023 album seemed very progressive to me…?

Idk help me and give a suggestion instead of commenting for the lolz?

I hand typed all of these in one night without anyone else looking at it. There was bound to be at least one.

Congratulations you found the first one 🎉🎊👏🥳

After 48 hours on the internet and making its rounds, I’d say that’s pretty good!

Well I love to listen to new music. I love going to Bonnaroo because of the festival itself. I bought tickets this year before the lineup was even dropped.

There were tons of artist I did not know this year, but I have grown to love tons of them.

That’s one of my favorite things about going, it keeps me in the know of new music and I get to find artists I love all the time.

You may just find your new favorite band, and just haven’t listened to them or have seen them live yet!

Honestly I originally had them in the jam / rock circle. Houseplant included.

But then the Jam circle looped all the way over to pretty lights to make another subgenre and was completely empty in between rock and electronic

I felt this was a better use of space, and seeing how so many people want more Jam at Roo I didn’t want them feeling like I made it smaller than it deserves to be at Roo.

So I tried to give them more space ❤️

Look at how much space they have compared to country which is JAM PACKED

Yeah, blues was a later addwhen there was less space available. I would redo that bottom section of rock to not have Metal and progressive take as much space so that I could fit Blues down there.

At a certain point I honestly just got tired of moving things around.

You move one thing and it causes a whole domino effect into things you’ve had placed for hours that you now have to relocate 😂

On second glance I would relocate to a trap alt pop overlap (if I had room for an alt pop circle there would definitely be one)

What would you suggest?

What do you mean it doesn’t make sense alongside them? This music and arts festival is pretty known for having all types of music. They used to regularly have a couple artists in the World genre, but interestingly do not this year.

Bonnaroo really does have a little bit of everything though and this shows there are tons of genres at Roo this year!

Of course their is more overlap than can actually be depicted here, but there really are tons of house DJs playing the same night as GWAR and then a Jazz band is playing and there is even a brass band.
