The ground zero event for the hippie jam-band scene, Bonnaro gets 80,000 people together on a 10 acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee for four days of music, heat and dust. On top of the bands, there's a live comedy section with Aziz Ansari, gardening lessons, a micro brewery festival, an art tent and they serve blackened gator, a local salty delicacy. There's even a bustling central "city" of shopping, free hair cutting (really!) and a yoga studio. Bonnaroo is also the "greenest," soothing ecological footprint concerns with a recycling program, educational presentations and a solar powered stage.
Featured acts:
Radiohead (above), Beach Boys, The Roots, Alice Cooper, Das Racist, Bon Iver, Danny Brown, Kendrick Lamar, Flying Lotus, Feist, St. Vincent, Major Lazer, Santigold, Kurt Vile
