The economy would certainly make the above make sense. If Bonnaroo was worried about making $$ in a down economy Phish would be a guaranteed money maker. The venue would also allow a ton of people to catch Phish in June before a major summer tour. They also have the logistics figured out there so traffic and the other stuff would fall to non-phish people and they could focus on their stuff and not all the other hassles of throwing a festival.

also a single night of phish doesn\'t compare to a full phish festival.  


Bonnaroo is huge, expensive, and far away.  I haven\'t been since \'06 and don\'t plan on heading back.  Just adding up the expense and hassle i would rather follow the breakfast for a large run.  2246 miles and 200 dollar tix = a lot of shows.  I also heard that there were lots of shitty/bunk designer chemicals at the \'roo last year.

true true.  not to mention rolling stone really sucks in general.

Phish should hold their own festival. If they are doing Bonnaroo I will be dissapointed because theres no way I\'m driving 20 hours (without traffic) to custieroo 09 whether Phish is playing or not.

Then again if they wanna play Roo early in a full tour that\'s fine. Consider it practice for a real tour.

But hey now that Sequoia is back all my eggs aren\'t in 1 basket.

Bonnaroo needs Phish more than Phish needs Bonnaroo.

[tyzack]

If Phish plays \'Roo, will they still hold their own fest at the end of the tour?

[wildcoyote]

Bonnaroo needs Phish more than Phish needs Bonnaroo.

Right now Phish could probably sell 100,000 tix without even revealing the location of the festival.

However, Bonnaroo needs to be careful not to shoot themselves in the foot.  I\'d say 95% of concert goers don\'t give a damn about Phish.  They\'d cash in this year, but risk of alienating their future audience.

Phish will not play the roo.
