Plus Zeppelin...sort of...
The seventh annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has announced its lineup, with Metallica, Pearl Jam, Kanye West, Willie Nelson, Jack Johnson and My Morning Jacket among the acts on the bill for the June 12-15 event in Manchester, Tennessee.
And rumors of a Zeppelin appearance at Bonnaroo are true (sort of), with all-female Zeppelin cover band Lez Zeppelin set to take the stage.
The full line-up, featuring over 100 bands and 20 comedians, is below. Tickets go on sale at Bonnaroo.com on February 16th.
This year, Bonnaroo is offering ticket buyers the option to purchase a commemorative DVD of the 2008 festival that will be sent to them in December. These DVDs will feature exclusive performances and backstage footage from the upcoming event, in a 5.1 audio mix created from Bonnaroo's soundboard recordings.
