Bonnaroo Lineup Announced
Bonnaroo always seems to trump Lollapalooza in the lineup department, but caravanning down to Manchester, Tennessee means sleeping in a tent or under the stars or anywhere that doesn’t include room service. Sure, part of Bonnarroo’s allure is stumbling back to tent city just as the sun peaks out from over the horizon after one of the festival’s legendary, all-nighter jam sessions (2013 boasts a doozy: Jim James with John Oates of Hall & Oates and Zigaboo Modeliste of the Meters and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band), but there’s something to be said for rinsing off your muddy feet in a decked-out bathroom at the end of a long, sun-parched day and climbing into your own bed.
Until the Lollapalooza lineup is officially announced (don’t believe the rumors), we’ll peruse sleeping bags online and wistfully daydream about making the trip. Paul McCartney, Glen Hansard, The xx, Tom Petty, and Wilco are playing after all.
The full list of artists follows. Bonnaroo takes place between June 13 to 16. (Click on the highlighted names to see when you can see the performers in Chicago in the coming months.)
