Tennessee's Bonnaroo festival has announced the first batch of acts for its 2010 incarnation, which currently features about a trillion bands. Not all of them are listed below, though. It's sometimes possible to use it as a rough indicator of what bands will be around the whole festival scene the time the Glastonbury juggernaut rolls around.
Perhaps the most exciting possibility, at Bonnaroo and possibly Glastonbury, is that of The Flaming Lips performing Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon in full. That would be mega indeed. Still, if you're about the general area at the time, or have the money to go, then give it a shot!
Anyway, here's some of the best who line-up for it all:
Dave Matthews Band Kings Of Leon Stevie Wonder Jay-Z Weezer Flaming Lips performing Dark Side Of The Moon The Dead Weather Phoenix John Fogerty Jimmy Cliff Tenacious D Zac Brown Band Avett Brothers Norah Jones LCD Soundsystem Tori Amos The National She & Him The Black Keys Steve Martin Jeff Beck Michael Franti Dan Deacon Against Me! Les Claypool Thievery Corp Baaba Maal Kris Kristofferson The xx GWAR Dan Deacon Ensemble Tinariwen Wale The Melvins Miike Snow They Might Be Giants Isis Blitzen Trapper Calexico OK Go Mayer Hawthorne and the County Japandroids The Dodos Manchester Orchestra The Temper Trap Local Natives Brandi Carlile Mumford & Sons Neon Indian
A feast of plenty.
