NPR Music strikes wonderfully again; they just announced that they’ll be broadcasting over 40 sets from this year’s Bonnaroo Music Festival beginning next Thursday.

Music, together with three partner public radio stations, sets up camp by the four main stages at this year’s Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, presenting three days of live webcasts with dozens of performances from popular musicians. From June 11-13, Music, together with Member stations KUT Austin, The Current from Minnesota Public Radio and WFUV New York, team up to offer more than 40 full sets from acts taking the Festival’s Which, What, This, and That stages, including The , , , Nas and Damian Marley, , , , The Flaming Lips (performing Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon), , Jay Electronica, , , and .

If you’ve followered their coverage of SXSW in the past, you know that these webcasts (and subsequently archived sets) are top notch. This will likely be a few sets I set my watch to. We’ll post the schedule when we get it.
