Bonnaroo fans are once again campaigning to land Missy Elliott on the Farm.
On r/bonnaroo the conversation sparked around one idea: if Skrillex headlines, could he bring Missy out the way he’s teamed with her on several tracks? Fans floated the “Skrillex and friends” scenario as an easy route to a Missy appearance — and many are ready to manifest it.
Reaction in the thread skewed enthusiastic. Plenty urged festival bookers to just give her a headline slot, while others pointed to how electric her live production can be (“saw her tour, crazy fun show”). A few fans even framed a Missy set as the kind of once-in-a-lifetime, old-Roo booking moment that makes people travel across states.
Not everyone was sold: some remembered a less-than-stellar Coachella showing this year. Still, the prevailing mood is hopeful — whether as a surprise guest or a full return to the spotlight, Missy Elliott remains high on Bonnaroo’s wish list.
If Roo wants to tap into that nostalgia and headline energy, bringing Missy back would be the kind of move that lights up the community. Keep an ear out during lineup season — this is the kind of fan pitch that doesn’t die quietly.
