I dunno, Bonnaroo marketed to jam band kids with the idea that jam band kids have wide listening palattes. That audience didn't go anywhere I don't think

a lot of large multi-day festivals just schedule a little bit of something for everyone instead of going down one specific lane. kills me when kids (including people up to early 20s here, now) complain that a main stage of a local festival is a snoozefest for the afternoon. that's when the middle aged and their small children just sit in a lawn chair and passively listen as their kids run around

maybe you're right but this doesn't seem inclusive so much as chaotic, especially wrt to billing placement. Tenacious D goes sixth? Noah Kahan ahead of Flaming Lips playing Yoshimi? And who ARE 50% of these acts? i recognize only five names in the bottom nine lines, i probably need to listen more. maybe there's a unifying theme of crunchy jam that is going over my head
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 16:34 (one year ago) link
that all said, there's at least a full day of sets i would happily go to here
old people will see the Flaming Lips play earlier in the evening and leave before the young person act they've never heard of to beat traffic

i mean, if you're arguing "it's just two decade old bonnaroo refried" okay, but it's not the current bonnaroo by any stretch of the imagination!http://assets-global.website-files.com/63a1fbb20c336d8cd3d32415/63bd94401ea7fd37785c50ef_bonnaroo-2023-lineup-min-p-1600.png

Bonnaroo has been bought by LiveNation and is basically a streaming numbers/tour booker clusterfuck.
This, however, is basically what you posted

Bela Fleck = Plant/Krauss

Bela Fleck and Alison Krauss are both bluegrass players who branch out, I don't know if you think Plant is gonna go up there and do "Tall Cool One" or what

I've seen both bands live, I'm aware. it's still a stretch imo.

marketed to jam band kids with the idea that jam band kids have wide listening palattes
this is 100% otm - the non-jambandy acts on that bill are all the nonjamband-type music that jamband ppl also listen to.

festivals ultimately though are as good as the people putting them on. there are good festivals, there are bad festivals.
I get frustrated at the festivals that constantly require you to make poison pill choices between bands because everybody you want to see is playing opposite each other. that's the downside of those festivals that are packed with too many acts in a single day. also hate ones that have excess sound bleed due to stages being too close to each other. feels like sometimes listening to a Charles Ives piece.
I also prefer to take breaks. cannot sit through like 6 straight bands for like 8 hours. during the 70000 Tons of Metal Cruise I only ever saw 4 bands a day, whereas friends of mine made it to like 30-40 sets. I picked the ones most important to me and had a blast and yeah I missed a few I'd have liked to see but i wouldn't have enjoyed them if I got no breather.
