Bonnaroo Starts Naming Names
The Bonnaroo Music Festival began announcing its lineup today. While the mega-event, scheduled for June 10-13 in Manchester, Tenn., isn’t revealing details like showtimes and stages, it is presenting an almost endless list of acts, including Dave Matthews Band, Flaming Lips, Jeff Beck, Bassnectar and Norah Jones.
Organizers are announcing the lineup through the festival’s MySpace page. For the first time in the event’s history, tickets went on sale at the same time its artist lineup began posting on MySpace. But don’t expect the two top tiers of tickets to be available. Those sold out in December during the festival’s holiday pre-sale.
