A Reddit post on r/bonnaroo kicked off a familiar festival debate: one user opened with “I hope Primus isn’t on the lineup this year, they suck,” and the thread quickly filled with the usual mix of hot takes, memories and mild chaos.
Some commenters agreed — bluntly — while others pushed back. One user shared a Roo memory of Primus’ set with parasailers (or parachutes) dumping glitter over the crowd, calling it “magical.” Another pointed out that Claypool-related projects are active again — Claypool Lennon Delirium has a new album on the way — and suggested that might be what shows up on bills instead of a straight Primus reunion. A separate commenter even noted that Les was reportedly playing in Maryland the same weekend at an All Good Now event, a detail mentioned in the thread.
The conversation is a reminder: festival lineup love/hate is part of the scene. Some fans will always cheer for Primus and their off-kilter catalog; others will loudly declare they don’t belong on a Roo-style bill. Either way, it’s the kind of talk that keeps Reddit threads fun to watch as lineup season heats up.
