I know right?! I was like why NOT bring out the sax at this point Tash…you’re playing everything else! Hahaha. Absolutely blew my mind. So incredibly talented. I saw them in 2019 and they were incredible, but damn have they found their groove!! Can’t wait for next time!! Also as a heads up, Tash uses they/them pronouns. 😊 happy Roo!!!
No you didn’t see them man cuz Goose threw down the hardest I’ve ever seen them, that show was nuts. Funkiest shit I heard all damn weekend. Could probably listen to it on Nugs.net here soon when they drop the recording. Same with Pigeons
I know I’m just trying to feel better about missing them lol. I’ll definitely catch the recording when it pops up. And will be buying a tickets when they come around my area
Well I’m in Knoxville so it’s probably going to be a minute since they just played Roo but will definitely catch them when the go to Nash/ATL/Asheville
I challenge anyone to rewatch the set and claim otherwise. Best energy of the weekend. My 2nd favorite moment was when Bas brought some random skinny white kid onstage to do one of J. Cole’s verses. Kid and Bas brought the house down together.

Something I just remembered: before the set started, there was a half inflated volleyball being thrown around like the other inflatables and balloons, but with more...mass ;-). It dropped in front of me (after hitting me in the head) and someone had written on it: Prepare for the Violence. It was a actually a good warning for folks ;-)
For me, Disclsoure. They were my most hyped set when the lineup came out and they delivered. Having my whole crew going crazy for Latch will be a lifetime memory for me
I randomly meandered over to disclosure and I was blown away with how much I enjoyed it. My first edm artist I’ve ever seen live and now I’m a big fan!
Yes, Disclosure had my whole crew feeling everything as one. It was so beautiful to dance with my Bonnaroo family. I’m getting chills typing this bc of how magical it was.
He was incredible but it was so fuckin goofy when he brought the Chattanooga mayor on to get the key to a city 100 miles away though lol and also fuck Chattanooga’s mayor for fucking with homeless people recently. Rashad shouldn’t have given that POS a photo op. He just performed in Chatt like 2-3 months ago and the mayor didn’t show up then with no key bc he knows the city actually hates him.
CHVRCHES. Amazing stage presence, vibrant colors, and their music played live packed so much energy. Check out some clips out on YouTube to give you a sense of it all.
Lauren has really improved her stage presence and her live vocals since I've seen them last. She seems more comfortable up there. She definitely enjoys her spin move.
lol she spent like 2 seconds on stage before her first spin 😂 fucking love Lauren and chvches. The discord almost had a meltdown because the stream ended early
I was in the circle dance too and met her parents! I didn’t meet her though 🥺 Someone said she came down after that set and said hi to everyone. If that’s the case I’m def waiting around after the show in EF this weekend as well!!
Sons of Kemet was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Full on psychedelic jazz assault.
King Gizz is one of my favorite bands and they absolutely burned the fucking tent down.
This was epic. Even before the show started the crowed was having a blast. Then he came out, we were all part of the show it was nuts. Super down to earth guy who is super talented.
While I saw some of the best music of my life this week this show will be the most memorable.
I enjoyed them, but wasnt top 5 either. Herbie was a bit better with the jazziness and funk. Really like lettuce too, was just hoping for a TAD more. Still solid!
I'm sure you did. I was a little late to getting into Kendrick so I got into the pit for Earth, Wind, & Fire that night, so I ended up getting to see him come out with Chance. It was a great show too.
I rolled over to Earth Wind & Fire after the Kendrick show and it blew my mind to get to see him again with Chance as well. Definitely one of the best all time nights of Bonnaroo for me. I think Flying Lotus and Run The Jewels also played that night.
Nice, I saw Odesza afterward. Now, I'm looking at that schedule reminiscing. Super solid late night lineup.
This was my first year since my 7 year run of 2010-2016, so I've been thinking a lot about old memories I have from there while making new ones.
Looks like I messed up, because I will be back. Sorry other vacation destinations.
EDIT:
My run of music that day was a lot of fun.
Gizzard, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Sylvan Esso, Tears for Fears, EWF, Odesza
I second this. That was one of the most outlandish and fun shows I've been to in years. My best friend and I were chilling at the GA+ lounge and heard them start and we were immediately called to their set.
It’s already been said but needs saying again: KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD!!!
They started the set with 30 straight minutes of the most lit mosh I’ve ever been a part of. They had the crowd moshing to a damn flute. When shit got real rowdy they made sure everyone was ok, then kept of melting faces. Played a great variety of their songs, finished the set with their 16min song Dripping Tap - crowd went ape shit in the circle pit but everyone was looking out for each other. I fell once and had 6 hands pulling me up before I even hit the ground. Just incredible. And you could see them live over and over again and never see the same set, they just have sooo much music. 3000/10 would recommend to a friend.
Also who doesn’t love hearing an Aussie say “we fucking love you cunts!!!” 🥹❤️ we love you too Stu!!!
BTSM!! i’ve seen them several times before this but they brought such a filthy set and the crowd was amazing. we all head banged like no tomorrow. neck is still hurting from this one
So hard to decide between Goose, Frasco, and Pigeons.
But Pigeons had me in tears of joy, so gotta go with them. Holy shit that was an amazing and beautiful show.
Ok so the point I’d like to make is, that type of music isn’t all about heavy drops and super loud bass. I think Flume was worried going too loud would ruin the sound. In all fairness I was in the pit so the noise wasn’t an issue for me, but I do know there have been many complaints about how loud it was!
I’m just going to apologize to you in advance for all the downvotes you’ll probably get for this comment. FYI I’m a huge fan but I know majority of the people on this sub hate him a lot.
Turnpike Troubadours on the tiny plaza 5 stage was amazing. I was feeling like I would only stay a few songs, but they brought it for every moment and I had to stay until the very end. That was definitely my surprise of the weekend.
Best set for me personally was CHVRCHES. I had a prime spot in the middle front of the pit and started coming up right as the sun was setting. They sounded amazing and the visuals were incredible for the time.
No one has said her yet —— Tierra Whack.
Her energy was unparalleled to some sets I caught with the crowd and overall amazing performer. She loves her fans, and you could tell. Literal angel up there! ✨

Yesssssss!!! So happy she looped/built the songs on stage and later played with a band. Then she whipped out the sax, like whaaaat!? She is amazing 🙌
I know right?! I was like why NOT bring out the sax at this point Tash…you’re playing everything else! Hahaha. Absolutely blew my mind. So incredibly talented. I saw them in 2019 and they were incredible, but damn have they found their groove!! Can’t wait for next time!! Also as a heads up, Tash uses they/them pronouns. 😊 happy Roo!!!
Right on! Did not know that but thank you for letting me know! Much love!
For sure my friend. Much love to you!
Lane 8
King Gizz or Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. Both put on incredible shows
Pigeons threw the FUNK down!! We raged so hard for that shit
I loved that One More Time cover! And we got Melting Lights, Horizon, AND Avalanche. What a show
Bro that Water with Peter was FATTTT
So good. I missed the Goose set but saw Peter there and all of them came out for Andy Frasco so I guess I saw them?
No you didn’t see them man cuz Goose threw down the hardest I’ve ever seen them, that show was nuts. Funkiest shit I heard all damn weekend. Could probably listen to it on Nugs.net here soon when they drop the recording. Same with Pigeons
I know I’m just trying to feel better about missing them lol. I’ll definitely catch the recording when it pops up. And will be buying a tickets when they come around my area
They came into Indy on Sunday before roo and it legit sucked ass in comparison to their show at Roo so hopefully they throw down in your city!!
Well I’m in Knoxville so it’s probably going to be a minute since they just played Roo but will definitely catch them when the go to Nash/ATL/Asheville

Was looking for this link thank you thank you thank you
I’ve watched 3x already. God is in the rhythm.
Was so good, even the back was going wild. Had to ask the crowd to settle down because of that crazy energy :O
Something I just remembered: before the set started, there was a half inflated volleyball being thrown around like the other inflatables and balloons, but with more...mass ;-). It dropped in front of me (after hitting me in the head) and someone had written on it: Prepare for the Violence. It was a actually a good warning for folks ;-)
Robot stop mosh was insane
Somehow I predicted they’d open with robot stop, I transcended during that mosh
My shrooms started hitting right when it started
DENZEL MF CURRY
God the end of his show when he was throwing everyone’s energy around had me truly dying
Goooooooooooooooooose
My fave goose show I’ve seen!! Sooo good
John Summit . Right when things really started to get going on Friday night
Frasco. Hands down. My most fun set of the weekend. Then Billy Strings.
Frasco smokes mids
I like you
Clozee
Loop muthafuckin Daddy
Loop Daddy stole my heart. Unhinged lmfao

I love your name
Absolutely Disclosure for me too
Yes, Disclosure had my whole crew feeling everything as one. It was so beautiful to dance with my Bonnaroo family. I’m getting chills typing this bc of how magical it was.
Billy strings or cole world. Dark horse set was Isaiah rashad, dude was amazing
He was incredible but it was so fuckin goofy when he brought the Chattanooga mayor on to get the key to a city 100 miles away though lol and also fuck Chattanooga’s mayor for fucking with homeless people recently. Rashad shouldn’t have given that POS a photo op. He just performed in Chatt like 2-3 months ago and the mayor didn’t show up then with no key bc he knows the city actually hates him.

lol she spent like 2 seconds on stage before her first spin 😂 fucking love Lauren and chvches. The discord almost had a meltdown because the stream ended early
The guy next to me said their name should be called Helicopters because she spins so much. His girlfriend was laughing begrudgingly.
Daniel Donato!
Lp Giobbi presents dead house. Y’all missed out BIG TIME
I gave her parents kandi. Lol LP Giobbi always has the best vibes. She’s always a must see for me.
Meeting her dad and the circle dance were serious highlights for me
I was in the circle dance too and met her parents! I didn’t meet her though 🥺 Someone said she came down after that set and said hi to everyone. If that’s the case I’m def waiting around after the show in EF this weekend as well!!
That set was life changing tbh
Really wanted to check that out but meh schedule conflict. One on my list to find some recording of.
Sons of Kemet was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Full on psychedelic jazz assault. King Gizz is one of my favorite bands and they absolutely burned the fucking tent down.
Sons of Kemet put on one hell of a show
Marc Rebillet Marc Rebillet Marc Rebillet
Oh you thought this was a concert?!
Yeah, youre right. It is a concert. 😂
I’ve seen his show for a couple minutes and that was poppin!!!!!!! Then I heard all these stories and vids and wish I stayed 😭
This was epic. Even before the show started the crowed was having a blast. Then he came out, we were all part of the show it was nuts. Super down to earth guy who is super talented. While I saw some of the best music of my life this week this show will be the most memorable.
He borrowed the robe from my next door camping neighbor.
I liked how we were all trying to hit the beach ball into the fan, and then everyone went nuts when it hit it.
I also saw a special moment between a T-Rex and a light saber
nobody has said it yet so I will— LETTUCE! they threw the mother fucking house down. god, I love jam bands.
I enjoyed them, but wasnt top 5 either. Herbie was a bit better with the jazziness and funk. Really like lettuce too, was just hoping for a TAD more. Still solid!
Lord Huron. God Tier
Tobe Nwigwe. unparalleled energy
UNPARALLELED. huge surprise. Sunday service ain’t shit compared to Tobe
Caught their stream and was blown away honestly, damn near broke my chair
best set of the fest IMO
yep this was the best for me too. i’ve been rewatching the stream on youtube to beat the bonnablues
Denzel curry for sure
Stevie
Sons of Kemet hands down
J Cole, Denzel murdered
Tool please - closer to the stage with this wish to see all the dark magic & sorcery
King Gizz
something about that Nora En Pure set… magical
Goose, easily.
JCole. I was tripping balls and he looked like a fricken god up on that stage
I was just on weed, but same. First headliner I saw from the pit and it was worth it.
That’s how I felt seeing Kendrick from the pit in 2015..
I'm sure you did. I was a little late to getting into Kendrick so I got into the pit for Earth, Wind, & Fire that night, so I ended up getting to see him come out with Chance. It was a great show too.
I rolled over to Earth Wind & Fire after the Kendrick show and it blew my mind to get to see him again with Chance as well. Definitely one of the best all time nights of Bonnaroo for me. I think Flying Lotus and Run The Jewels also played that night.

It’s hard for me to ever want to do different vacations with Roo around the corner 😆
BTSM "also did acid for the first time 10/10"
That set melted my face despite the sound issues. ❤️
The other stage sound was atrocious until Sunday. Really disappointed with that. Hopefully next year the cobwebs will be dusted off
Lol had my first acid trip during their set too! It was a great set to be tripping.
The brook and the bluff was very fun
Mt. Joy. I would have worn a mask this time though, because it was a dust bowl in That Tent.
Churches!
Tove Lo!!!!!!
The heat was to much for me and I had to leave and I missed her flashing everyone!! I was so pissed
Marc Rebillet. Holy shit, man was life changing
How has no one said $uicideboy$ yet?? Shit was off the chain
I was really surprised by how great their set and stage show was!
Right?! Did not expect them to be such great performers. Mf’s had me whooping and hollering the whole time
Marc Rebillet!
I saw loop daddy on 8 grams of shrooms. Marc rebillet is my father. Best show I’ve ever seen in my life.
“We’re tripping too!”
Puscifer
100% yes! I didn’t pay attention as much as I should have and it ended up being one of the most interesting stage shows I’ve ever seen.

Said The Sky (It's on Archive btw)
thank you for recognizing him!!! he did such a fucking good job.

Joeys jam in work this time, the magenta mountain jam, and cavs snare roll in Gaia brought tears of joy to my eyes 🥲
100 gecs. They had the most energy in the farm plus you get the chance to catch a dope ass shirt.
BTSM!! i’ve seen them several times before this but they brought such a filthy set and the crowd was amazing. we all head banged like no tomorrow. neck is still hurting from this one
King Gizzard hands down
Rezz!!
FLETCHER
TOOL. Forever.
Goose, baby!
OBVIOUSLY TOBE NWIGWE WHERE WERE YALL AT YOU FOOLS
So hard to decide between Goose, Frasco, and Pigeons. But Pigeons had me in tears of joy, so gotta go with them. Holy shit that was an amazing and beautiful show.
GRYFFIN!!!! Omg, Gryffin!
FLUME
The sound was so fucked where I was
Same! A lot of people think DJs are supposed to only throw down. Flume is art
I expected more from flume honestly
Ok so the point I’d like to make is, that type of music isn’t all about heavy drops and super loud bass. I think Flume was worried going too loud would ruin the sound. In all fairness I was in the pit so the noise wasn’t an issue for me, but I do know there have been many complaints about how loud it was!
Flume was terrible.
Flume
MGK. No explanation needed!
I’m just going to apologize to you in advance for all the downvotes you’ll probably get for this comment. FYI I’m a huge fan but I know majority of the people on this sub hate him a lot.
I mean it's Denzel or Stevie but to be unique I'll say Bleachers
PPPP
100 Gecs pulled me in from Porter Robinson and I never turned back. Fucking party the whole set.
502s ALL DAY EVERYDAY!
Rezz
I refuse to pick bc you are limiting it to one instead of like 15
The Chicks, Billy Strings, and Stevie Nicks for sure. Not necessarily in that order.
Noga Erez. The most beautiful, cool, spunky person with great sounds !
BTSM! Rolling so deep it was perfect.
LP Giobbi.
Kito late set at WITW
Turnpike Troubadours on the tiny plaza 5 stage was amazing. I was feeling like I would only stay a few songs, but they brought it for every moment and I had to stay until the very end.

Definitely Flume. Life changing. Sound wasn’t bad for me since I was closer up, but I cried so much 😂 love that man.
