Billboard.com posted the list of performers for this year's Bonnaroo festival (June 14-17), after the lineup briefly appeared on the festival's homepage.
In addition to the reunited Police, the festival will feature Tool, whose 10,000 Days is worth at least one listen (maybe two, but that's pushing it), recent major-label sellouts the White Stripes, and VFI fave Wilco.
Other acts on the bill for the event include Wilco, the Flaming Lips, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Manu Chao, String Cheese Incident, Franz Ferdinand, Ween, the Roots, Kings Of Leon, the Black Keys, Wolfmother, Bob Weir & Ratdog, Gov't Mule and Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers.Once again, as with other years, I'll tell myself that I'm going to this until it comes time to actually pay for things, at which point I usually realize I'm broke.
Continuing with recent Bonnaroo lineup trends, indie rock has a strong presence again in the form of the Decemberists, Spoon, the Hold Steady, Feist, Tortoise, Cold War Kids, the National, Annuals and Apollo Sunshine. Several notable dance and electronic acts have signed on as well, including DJ Shadow, Sasha & Digweed, Hot Chip and Girl Talk.
The lineup is rounded out by Damien Rice, Dierks Bentley, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Regina Spektor, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Keller Williams, Fountains Of Wayne, Hot Tuna, STS9, Galactic, North Mississippi Allstars, Ralph Stanley, Richard Thompson, Mavis Staples, T-Bone Burnett, Brazilian Girls, the Slip, the Nightwatchman and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
