The 2012 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival Announces Planned Artist Lineup

That delicious mix of rock, indie, Americana and jambands that is Bonnaroo is back again this year with a truly stellar line-up headed by Radiohead, the Beach Boys, and, of course, Phish. You can also catch perennial PopMatters faves like the Avett Brothers, the Roots, tUnE-yArDs, St. Vincent, and many many more. Plenty more artists will be added, but the list revealed so far is pretty extensive and enough to base your ticket buying decision on.

The festival will run from June 7 -10 in the normal spot, a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee, 60 miles south of Nashville. Tickets go on sale on this Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 12 noon EST exclusively at Bonnaroo.com. Bonnaroo organizers have also formed a new partnership with YouTube, creating Bonnaroo365, a new entertainment channel featuring original programming, daily content and live performances all created and curated by the Bonnaroo producers.
