RooHamm - A Bonnaroo Podcast

Spicy pizza, glazed pretzels, biscuit sandwiches... how much time do you have? This week we're talking about all the food/drink that has come to define part of Bonnaroo's culture! We're categorizing it all into a nifty tier list. WARNING: Hot takes inside.

We're back with another round of Roo Recs from... YOU! We reached out to the RooHamm community for song recommendations and y'all did NOT let us down! We're also chatting about the recently released Lollapalooza 2021 lineup. Artists/Songs discussed in this episode: Orville Peck - 'Turn to Hate' Scarypoolparty - 'Out Loud' Big Wild - 'Purple Sand (My Home)' Pinegrove - 'Cadmium'

Let's talk about Thursday... again! The Thursday night lineup didn't change much from 2020 to 2021, but we have had over a year to sit on some of these artists and we're ready to give our updated thoughts. We took last week off so we are so ready to be back on the mics!

Parker wanted to get in line for the Foo Fighters a bit early and stake out land for Camp Hammgrila, so he's heading to Tennessee! To keep our co-host from missing his flight we've got a condensed RooHamm answering some of the top questions on Reddit, fast and furious (sans Vin Diesel).

It's safe to say we're pretty hyped about Foo Fighters headlining Bonnaroo 2021, so we're dedicating an entire episode about the band. From a full discography breakdown to our past experiences seeing them live, we're putting all of our fandoms out on the table. Listen to hear what we can expect to see from their Roo performance, as well as some deep-cut recommendations. Oh, and Roo '21 is official...

GET THOSE BOOKS OUT AGAIN! Yes, Bonnaroo Study Hall is back! We're diving back into the lineup this week with three (3) tracks to help familiarize ourselves with the artists playing at The Farm this September. Artists/Songs discussed in this episode: Waxahatchee - 'Fire' Niko Moon - 'GOOD TIME' Remi Wolf - 'Photo ID'

The official lineup is out. We're getting news updates from the festival itself. Is it time to get hyped? We're talking this week about the (minor) changes from the lineup leak and the official poster, as well as the bits of Bonnaroo news we've gotten so far. Like Jamtrak! Stick around until the end to hear our amended most-anticipated acts of the festival. P.S. - The RooHammcast will now come out...

Is this really happening? On Tuesday, an artist leaked the 2021 Bonnaroo lineup, which was later confirmed to be real by Festive Owl on Twitter. There's a lot of crossover from the 2020 lineup and a lot new. Let's break it all down!

We're cold. We're alone. We're lacking significant Roo news. We hope everyone's Roo drought is going well! Today we're talking about what (hopefully) 2021's lineup will look like. Who will return from 2020's poster? Who will be added? Let's chat. Note: This episode was recorded in 2020 before Christmas.

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.

It's been a dead few months for Bonnaroo news/activity. Fortunately, Virtual Roo-Ality is coming up and we hooked some friends up with some Hamm's and they're trying it for the first time ON AIR. It's a crossover event with the two other active Bonnaroo podcasts (The What Podcast, Story Time with the Roo Bus) and we also discuss the current status of live events with COVID-19 and another beer-rela...

What a year, y'all. From tasty pie to The 1975, all our dreams were met in 2020. We come to you live from the Nashville airport Waffle House, giving you a full breakdown of our 2020 Bonnaroo experience!

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. We've been consuming a...

Note: Episode #11 was recorded before the announcement of Bonnaroo 2020's postponement. Check your feeds for our statement on the matter. We're making our way through this lineup with ANOTHER round of smaller artists on the 2020 lineup in Bonnaroo Study Hall. From folk to pop to electronic, we've got all the bases covered this week. Parker and Jake are joined by fellow RooHammer, Kara, about some...

Bonnaroo 2020 has officially been postponed to September 24-27. Jake steps in for a couple of minutes just to comment on the movement and update listeners on what The RooHammcast plans to do with the extra three months between now and the event. Note: Episode #11 of The RooHammcast was recorded before the announcement of a postponement.

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...

Bonnaroo sold out. Holy cow, everyone, we did it again! We go in-depth on both how it (probably) happened and what it means for both 2020 and the future of the festival. On top of that, we discuss everything we currently know about this year's Plazas! From outlandish cinema to yoga ceremonies, the Plazas really are something that makes Bonnaroo stand out. To wrap it up we countdown our top five mo...

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 particualr...

Take your seats! Class is BACK in session for another helping of white-text artists from the 2020 Bonnaroo lineup. We (unintentionally) lean pretty hard into alt/rock for this episode, while simultaneously talking about many listener-requested bands. To wrap it all up, we give you a top five that will help any Roovian seem more hip and clout-y when asked about certain acts. Artists/Songs discussed...

Get those glow sticks out, get your fishnets on, and let's get weird. The Other's EDM-centric lineup was released last week, giving everyone a preview of what electronic acts to expect in that corner of Centeroo come June. We're talking about (mostly) every artist that will be taking The Other's stage with our first guest: fellow RooHammer, Matt! We round out the episode by counting down our top f...

It's hard to describe how fun (and special) Thursdays at Bonnaroo typically are. Everyone's feeling good and ready to see many new acts that they hadn't even heard of before the January prior. Everything is right with the world on Thursday at Bonnaroo. So let's dig into the 2020 slate of Thursday artists and throw in a handful of personal recommendations while we're at it! And to help, we also cou...

Centeroo: Home of a Christmas-themed barn club, heavenly donuts, too many stages to even remember, and... a giant metal pig? There is SO MUCH to take in when you walk into Centeroo, even for veterans of the fest, so we're talking everything from the food vendors to the stages and even those incredible Moon Mats. We even start the show off with a brand new segment and close it out with our top five...

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? We're taking a look at ten (10) acts from the white text to see if this undercard really is something to brag about. We listen to a song from each artist and then give our immediate reactions! We also wrap up by counting down our top five acts that we...

It's been a week and we've all processed the 2020 lineup. That said, it's time to dig into it and what better way than to start from the top? This week we're talking about 2020's headliners, Tool, Lizzo and Tame Impala, giving our thoughts on each act, recommending some tracks, and giving our thoughts on headlining shows in general. We end the show by counting down our top five best places to watc...
