so...I just looked at the line-up for Bonnaroo. and it sucks to admit, but this looks just as good as Coachella this year. they actually have a bunch of the same artists as Coachella. but what is weird about it...for those of you who aren't familiar with the festival Bonnaroo started out as a Jam Band festival. it takes place every year in the mountains of Tennessee.
Radiohead is headlining Bonnaroo, and this will be the first time they've played since they headlined Coachella '04 (which was AMAZING).
Bonnaroo Website & Line-up these artists are playing at BOTH Bonnaroo and Coachella:
Devendra Banhart
Damian Marley
My Morning Jacket
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
the Magic Numbers
Matisyahu
Dungen
Seu Jorge
Cat Power
Atmosphere
Amadou & Mariam
I counted 11 of the same artists, I may have even missed one. what the fuck is going on? has this Jam Band festival COMPLETELY sold out to ride on the coat tails of the more successful Coachella? ATMOSPHERE? at a JAM BAND festival? what the FUCK! and RADIOHEAD? ugh.
