The Bonnaroo 2010 lineup unveiled today in a manner that kept potential festival-goers and curious music fans glued to their computers watching the festival’s MySpace page: Bands were revealed at the rate of one every six minutes, infinitely spicing up many a cubicle-dwellers’ 9 to 5 existence.
Honestly, the lineup is so-so.
Some highlights: Flaming Lips doing Dark Side of the Moon, Phoenix, Medeski, Martin & Wood, The Entrance Band, Jay Electronica, The xx, Damian Marley & Nas, The Black Keys, The Melvins, The Dead Weather, Kings of Leon, Jimmy Cliff, Isis, LCD Soundsystem, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Dan Deacon Ensemble and Stevie Wonder.
Overall it’s a diverse batch of artists, yet a bit too diverse for me to shell out the funds to fly to Manchester, Tenn.: Dave Matthews Band, Weezer, Gwar, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Rise Against … Steve Martin & The Steep Canyon Rangers, anyone?
Yet there’s one name that would have enticed me to forgo fiscal responsibility and head east mid-June.
Sorry, Bonnaroo – Coachella has Thom Yorke.
