The U.S. Festival season gets underway with Coachella in April, and another one of our festival giants released its lineup today. Manchester, Tennessee's Bonnaroo lineup has been revealed, and it's a REALLY impressive one.
Some of the acts included are:
Eminem
Arcade Fire
The Black Keys
The Strokes
Buffalo Springfield
Mumford & Sons
The Decemberists
Iron & Wine
Florence + the Machine
Widespread Panic
My Morning Jacket
Band of Skulls
Karen Elson
Best Coast
The Walkmen
...and of course, a lot more. You can view the full lineup here. The festival takes place June 9-12, which is of course during my finals week. Bonnaroo is one of the festivals that I really want to get to at some point in my life. Camping for four or five days with a bunch of hippies and watching some great music seems like a really fun/life altering experience.
Check out the video of Conan O'Brien, one of my personal favorites, introducing the lineup for the festival.
Blogging protip: Post a link to the lineup. Wouldn't hurt also to embed a picture of the festival poster.
ReplyDeleteI so need this festival, though. Shame I won't be able to make it AGAIN. Maybe next year. What pains me the most is missing the Mumford set. They're not nearly as good in a festival setting as they are in a more intimate venue, but there's potential for some awesome collaborations. One that's a for-sure is Old Crow Medicine Show. Union Station? Maybe. Kevin would like.
Thank you Kevin. Just edited it. Don't really know why I forgot those in the first place....
