Bonnaroo is a four-day, multi-stage camping festival held on a massive and stifling hot 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee every June. Bonnaroo brings together some of the best performers in rock and roll, along with dozens of artists in complementary styles such as jazz, Americana, hip-hop, electronica, and just about any music you can think of. In addition to dozens of larger than life performances, the festival buzzes around the clock with attractions including a movie theatre, silent disco, ferris wheel, comedy club,and a neon fountain (which recycles its water, so by the end you dont want to go anywhere near it!)
THIS TENT? THAT TENT? WHICH TENT? WHAT !
Roo takes the small town of Manchester (5,000 ppl year round) and turns it into a 75,000 person hippy lovin madhouse, the closest thing i can imagine resembling woodstock! Who wudda thought that a weekend of camping, severe sweating, sun damage, junk food, and a slew of other activities i rather not mention could be so much fun? (I kinda did!)
My highlights included epic performances by Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Conan, The Flaming Lips performing Dark Side of the Moon, Neon Indian, Thievery Corporation, She and Him, Jeff Ross Roast, The Gossip, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Ingrid Michaelson (especially that Brittany Spear's cover -wow)!
Seriously, look at the lineup and download tunes from any of the artists that played at bonaroo! http://www.bonnaroo.com/artists.aspx
