Bonnaroo Announces Stacked 2010 Lineup

BonnarooAfter a full day of announcing artists one at a time on social networking sites like Twitter and MySpace, Bonnaroo has finally unveiled its full 2010 lineup. It's a good thing they only unveiled it only in spurts at first -- the full lineup is so stacked and top-heavy it's hard to take it all in at once. Seriously.

This year's gathering -- which will take place from June 10 to 13 at the festival's 700-acre homestead in Manchester, Tenn. -- will be headlined by Dave Matthews Band, Jay-Z, Stevie Wonder and, newly-crowned Grammy royalty, the Kings of Leon. There are a gazillion other, equally exciting artists rounding out the lineup, including Zac Brown Band, Jeff Beck, Dead Weather, Phoenix, Weezer, Avett Brothers, the National, Tori Amos, Les Claypool, Miike Snow, They Might Be Giants, the Black Keys and Tenacious D. And so on.

Bonnaroo prides itself on an eclectic lineup, which is a natural extension and progression from its jam band roots. The festival also boasts any number of "only at Bonnaroo" moments which, this year, may be topped by the appearance of Daryl Hall onstage with Chromeo ("filling in" for John Oates). As previously announced, the Flaming Lips will perform their twisted version of Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' during a late-night set with Stardeath and the White Dwarfs (who, by the way, are not to be confused with some of the wooks on the other side of the rail).

Only at Bonnaroo could reggae icon Jimmy Cliff appear on the same lineup as shock metal's GWAR with it feeling as natural as the organic produce sold in the festival's farmers market. Tickets are only available at the official website and you better snatch them when you can -- Bonnaroo has a history of selling out. And no, that's not a pun.

That place is nothing more than an open-air drug market and bad vibes. Don't be thinking this is "Woodstock" and peace & love.

Little did I know 40 yrs ago, that my home town would be the new "Woodstock". I am sure my parents are rolling over in their graves. Glad folks are having a good time.

Gee. If I wasn't already feeling old, I am now. I don't know who most of these bands are, I have no desire to hear a warped version of "Dark Side of the Moon" and the idea of camping and going without running water just doesn't do it for me. Actually, I'm not sure it ever did except for Woodstock, which was before my time. (And that's only because of the reefer & free love, sans Chlamydia.)

I do admit I would put myself out a little bit to hear Stevie Wonder, but sleeping on the ground in a cloud of mosquitos on a hot summer night? I'm sorry, Stevie. I just can't.

The 'ROO is the best music festival I have ever gone to. For me to drive about 14 hours from Texas to Tennessee you know it has to be! I have only missed one year so far and remember year 2 seeing The Kings of Leon in one of the tents. They barely had enough material to play for an hour or so. But you could tell thay had something great going on.
The people meeting and watching is sweet and who knows what the weather will bring year after year (heat, storms, etc...). 1 for $3 or 2 for $5!! Rock on 'ROO!!

WOW! What a 'line-up' of 'stars'! Another year of no acts I'd drive 2 hrs to hear! Just means I'll have to take the long way to get to Nashville! Sorry to the organizers, but, as in years past, you have NOTHING to offer me!
