Following the rather lackluster Coachella announcement last week, comes Bonnaroo’s initial lineup for 2009. At first glance, it’s quite the stellar lineup of bands, with the one glaring addition that jumped out at me being the Beastie Boys! The one time I attempted to see them live was back in 2000, when they were set to tour with Rage Against the Machine, but was canceled because Mike D broke his arm or something like that. Even now in 2009, they’re still up there (along with PJ Harvey) as a band I would still love to see.
I’ve yet to make the trek to the 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee. Though, I came very close one year, but had to bow out due to financial restrictions. Check out the full lineup below, as this year’s event runs from June 11-14, with tickets going on sale at www.bonnaroo.com on Saturday, February 7. Maybe i’ll see you there!
