Well, Bonnaroo has again trumped most other music festivals solely on their lineup. This begs the question of how well this festival can continue to put 90,000 people in a field and hope that the weather doesn’t completely kill the vibe. The artists there are sweet though, with Widespread Panic playing two shows, Dave Matthews Band signing on his whole band (hell, 80,000 people could be there just for that), Keller Williams, STS9, etc. etc.
All in all, this should easily be a good time if the weather’s good (as every outdoor camping / party trip would be). Check out the lineup by reading on…
