Having been to Bonnaroo the past few years, I can tell you that it's certainly evolved into a different style of festival since it's inception. The 2008 line-up nearly destroyed the 4 day weekend festivities for many, as it was seen as a slap in the face of all that is right and just in the world that Bonnaroo was intended to occupy by bringing in Metallica and Kanye West. I don't think we're going to see that happen again.
Bonnaroo 2009 saw a resurgence in the bands that were destined to be there: Phish, Springsteen, Buffet. So what will 2010 bring?
GWAR?
Surprisingly, this band has enjoyed a rich 25 year history in metal/rock with a cult following that is only matched by the likes of Yello, Zappa, and The Greatful Dead. But is Bonnaroo really asking them to be part of a festival that caters primarily to fans that enjoy bands like Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Dave Matthews, and Phish? Stranger things have happened.
A Blog Version Of The Inside Of My Head. The place where politics, film, the media, music, pop culture, and random topics collide in an orgy of neo-philisophical randomness that would make your mother scream.
