If we're being honest, the 2021 lineup for Friday doesn't match the hype from 2020's. BUT - there's still a lot to enjoy!

Virtual Roo is in the books. We raged, socially distant, from home in 2020 and it was just a fraction of the experience that regular Roo is. BUT, that doesn't mean it wasn't a good time. We're rounding out the 2020 Roo season with a recap of the first, and hopefully only, Virtual Roo-ality.

ROO IS BACK... kind of. Virtual Roo-ality starts Thursday, September 24th and the Roo fanbase has some thoughts on it. We sit down, have a Hamm's, and chat our pre-event thoughts and if this really seems to be a $50 value.

We won't sugarcoat it, things aren't looking good at the moment for public entertainment. It seems like everything is closed, virtually every event for the next few months has either been cancelled or postponed, and Parker and Jake...Well, they haven't really left their homes for two weeks. In lieu of Roo news, we are checking in, letting everyone know what we've been up to.

Everyone... stay calm. The talk of the town over the last week has been the Coronavirus and the cancellation/postponement of events such as Coachella, SXSW, and Ultra. What does it mean for Bonnaroo? We give our (uneducated) opinions. The GOOD NEWS is that as of March 2020 Bonnaroo is still very much ON. We took some time to appreciate Bonnaroos of ole this week by asking our followers about their past experiences. From sets to camping snafus, we got the big picture. Elsewhere, we count down our...

Ok everyone, let's be completely clear... Bonnaroo 2020's Friday lineup is crazy good. SO good, in fact, it has most people sweating just thinking about conflicts. Until then, let's push that thought out of our collective head and focus on the many fantastic acts they've booked for Friday. From The 1975 to Lennon Stella, we chat with fellow RooHammer, Michael, about all the acts we find particualrly notable. And there are A LOT.

We even start the show off with a brand new segment and close it out with our top five campground memories!

It's January. It's cold. What better way to pass the time until Roo than to dive into those smaller artists and see if any of them flip our trigger?
