i\'ve heard so many people declare phish WILL!/WILL NOT! play roo for so many reasons. this is gettin silly.
One thing to keep in mind here that you might not realize is that the people who founded superfly productions and bonnaroo are old school baller phish heads who know the band and are the same people who originally master minded and organized the early phish festivals. The two parties have a long history of working together and throwing some amazing events.
So I am sure they at least asked the band to make an appearance and that the boys would at least consider it as a hat tip sort of thing if nothing else. Also they have all played at roo with various bands so they are no stranger to the scene and the sit ins and all the great tunes and I think they would be into it. I think it is gonna happen and its gonna be a total mob scene and I might even be there. we shall see though.
guess i was wrong...

Phish and 150,000 of your closest friends. A steal at $285.00
besides phish...so much good stuff will be going on and i cant wait...is it june yet?
probably my favorite overall lineup bonnaroo has ever put out.
see you all on the farm in june..
yeah this lineup is very very impressive...there was one other year that impressed me this much, but i cant remember which one it was...
never thought i\'d make it back to manchester... this lineup (along with the fact that i couldn\'t secure phish tix) might change that.
Wow. Ridiculous lineup. So much good soul/funk next to all of the obvious rock biggens. Well, at least summer school makes my decision NOT to brew over this very easy. Enjoy people.... I\'m going to try to get tix, if it sells out and someone is empty handed I\'ll sell it for $1 over face value. Gotta make
some profit.

Not that I\'m saying we need to keep music separated by genre, but I officially have no idea what the target demographic is for this fest.
