Bonnaroo.com (http://www.bonnaroo.com/) has been updated in preparation for the 2008 festival

The 7th Annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is confirmed for June 12-15, 2008. The four-day camping and music festival will once again be held on the 700-acre farm in Manchester, TN, 60 miles southeast of Nashville.

did they say when they are annoucing. should be soon right? like late feb/march?
i got a real job now- so if they have AT LEAST five bands that I really like, maybe i'll check into it and see if i'll go. if not there is always some lollapalooza!

Clue #1 "For all you lineup lookers...here is a clue: There is more than one Manchester."

Clue #2 20 miniutes later she said "Memphis is not Albany"

Clue #3 "Clouds taste this way"

Clue #4 "Some Herrings are red, Jimmy"

Clue #5 "Hard Substance, Soft Substance"

Clue #6 "Janis Joplin's reserves will be preserved"

Clue #7 "Rumors are just rumors, but twist them sideways, grow your humor hair and they become a more yen reality. No, this is not about Fleewood Mac"

Clue #8 "it's not sour, what is sowed in the earth"

Clue somewhere in there: "Three certain birds, add one"

Clue #9 "look to the center of europe to get the sound, but the band comes form all around."

I hear bonnaroo sucks, way too expensive. Lollapalooza is where it's at, they had Pearl Jam.

Bonnaroo has PJ this year

[tinkerlion]

i say don't knock it till you try it. the experience is what you make it. last year was the weakest lineup i'd say (spent too much to get the police,) but it was still a blast. and the amount of money you spend while there depends on how crafty you are.

of course this year langerado is the place to be;)

[uke_it_up]

how's the landscape @ bonnaroo? any trees for shade? kick ass they got PJ.

[tinkerlion]

there are some trees. luckily there are tents you can escape to and see a show.

Confirming numerous rumors, Pearl Jam will headline the seventh annual event for the first time, along with heavy-metal titans Metallica and longtime Bonnaroo staple Jack Johnson, who has slowly grown into a headlining spot since his first appearance in 2002, the festival’s inaugural year.

Note, that says LEZ ZEPPELIN (http://www.myspace.com/lezzeppelin), not Led Zeppelin (All Girls, All Zeppelin).
Big difference!

I just copied and pasted, their bad. The B-Roo poster has it right.

[CaraD.]

hells yeah- much better line up this in my opinion.
i might even be a heavy thinker on this one- actually. now that i am making a steady income and it'll be summertime and i have no bills or nothing i might go. last summer it was saving up for the summer haze shows. anyways- i'll think about it. i'd rather do a cooler climate though.


by the way--- robert randolph's revival????
explain. k. thnaks

[tinkerlion]

the lineup looks better than last year for sure. we're debating it. time will tell i guess, but eric really wants to see sigur ros

Bonnaroo news
» ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND CANCEL BONNAROO APPEARANCE
- Gregg Allman is still battling health issues with Hepatitis C

» BIG BONNAROO ANNOUNCEMENT COMING THURSDAY!
- Anyone have any guesses what this may be?

The 'Roo forum members have been calendar-stalking to see who's free then. Many artists were mentioned were but no one speculated specifically or seemed to have any inside info to share.
i.e. Roger Waters is in Russia June.6th. no shows listed after that. Coldplay is playing 2 festivals this summer...but is def possible for Roo... Bruce Springsteen is in GB during Roo dates. Tom Petty is available June.12 & 15th for Roo!! Eric Clapton has a break from June.5th - 20th. Stone Temple Pilots could play June.15th. DMB could play June.12th or 15th. Ben Harper could play...hes not touring in June. Neil Young has no dates until June.27th in Europe. The Police are in Europe from June.12-15th. Xavier Rudd & John Butler Trio both have no June dates listed...so they are possible. Counting Crows are possible...but in Europe before Roo, so not likely. Gov't Mule have a break from June.7-29...so they are quite possible. The Eagles have a break from 6/1-7/21... etc etc
