The immense artist list at Bonnaroo just got even better with the addition of Stephen Marley and The Wood Brothers. With his eerily similar voice, Stephen Marley is probably the closest you can come to experiencing Bob’s songs. The Wood Brothers left me wanting much more than the 15 minutes Andy and I caught at Langerado.
With Pearl Jam, Kanye, Robert Plant and Allison Krauss, The Allman Brothers, The Raconteurs, Willie Nelson, My Morning Jacket, B.B. King, M.I.A. and Zappa Plays Zappa, ‘Roo is pulling away as my most looked forward to festival. The fact that I almost forgot to add Vampire Weekend and the comedy tent highlights show unreal this line-up is.
The comedy tent at Bonnaroo is highly underrated and this year is packed with Chris Rock, David Cross, Zach Galifianakis, Brian Posehn, Jim Norton, Janeane Garofalo and Mike Birbiglia.
Lollapalooza has Radiohead, but they’ll have a hard time topping this gangbusters list at the ‘Roo.

Thanks for posting that! I saw BB King on his 80th b-day tour at the IU Auditorium and sat 2nd row center as he joked about “Dr. Viagra & Nurse Levitra” and caressed Lucille. Such a great, memorable show. -AS

Chris Rock is actually playing a main stage. Probably which stage. I’m looking really forward to this and what he has to say about Obama.
