The good people of Bonnaroo have decided to heighten the suspense of the list of bands playing this year’s festival by releasing the names one by one today via Twitter from noon to 9 p.m. The fest will take place from June 10-13 in Manchester, Tennessee, and thus far, it looks even more promising than last year’s lineup, which was helmed by Phish and Bruce Springsteen.
Just don’t forget to travel light before you get too psyched.
Here’s who we have so far:
Jay-Z The Flaming Lips w/ Stardeath and White Dwarfs Phoenix Kid Cudi She & Him Weezer Thievery Corporation Jeff Beck Dave Matthews Band Baroness OK Go John Fogerty Medeski Martin & Wood Punch Brothers Isis Chromeo w/ Daryl Hall The Avett Brothers Cross Canadian Ragweed Carolina Chocolate Drops Big Sam’s Funky Nation Neon Indian The Black Keys Monte Montgomery Bassnectar The Constellations Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers Ingrid Michaelson Blues Traveler 311 The xx Regina Spektor Mayer Hawthorne & the County Wale Norah Jones Jimmy Cliff Tokyo Police Club Baaba Maal The National Zac Brown Band Japandroids Dr. Dog John Prine Dave Rawlings Machine Local Natives Dropkick Murphys
Apparently Paul Simon is also rumored to be headling, according to our friends at BrooklynVegan. You can follow the slow trickle of bands on the Bonnaroo website, or you could be all Web 2.0 and skip straight to their Twitter. Tickets can be purchased here.
