Bonnaroo Lineup: 1 band at a time

Posted by Patrick Boyle in Srsly, You Guys

In case you hadn't noticed yet, Bonnaroo is in the midst of announcing their 2010 lineup 1 band at a time: every few minutes, the flash thing on their myspace page chimes and a new act is revealed. Click here to check it out.

I must admit, I am more tempted to check it out this year than I have ever been. The prospect of seeing a completely unhinged, multi-hour Flaming Lips set including their rendition of Dark Side of the Moon (which is awesome) is pretty huge. As I learned at Coachella 2008...

Prince-chella

Oh, WHAT?

... headliners matter. Still, a great undercard doesn't hurt, and a quick glance at the lineup (so far) reveals some of my favourite, including a good balance of "seen 'em, love 'em" and "gotta see 'em." Among others:

  • the National
  • Dr. Dog
  • Steve Martin (yes, that one) & the Steep Canyon Rangers
  • Phoenix
  • She & Him
  • John Prine
  • Jimmy Cliff

Lemme tell you... it's mighty tempting. We'll have to see whether the balance of the (undoubtedly long) list tempts me.
