The massive summer music festival known as Bonnaroo has announced its 2008 lineup, which continues to move away from the realm of granola, patchouli and hemp, and towards more mainstream acts. This year’s superstar-laden lineup includes: Pearl jam, Metallica, Kanye West, The Raconteurs, Broken Social Scene, B.B. King, Ben Folds, M.I.A., Talib Kweli, Tegan and Sara, Lupe Fiasco, and more! Bonaroo is billed as the ultimate festival experience, which takes place over the course of 4 days on a large plot of farm located in Manchester, Tennessee. From June 12th to the 15th 2008, festival goers will descend upon the land, living in tents, scrounging for toilet paper, and trying to remember where they parked, all the while listening to some great music. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, with a limited number being offered for $210, plus ridiculous processing and shipping fees. Once an unknown number tickets are sold, you can expect to pay $245 plus the bend over fee. Seriously though, it is a very reasonable base price to see all these headliners. Aside from a great logo, talented musical acts and “leave no trace” mentality, Bonnaroo is an unbelievable event, and we’d be remiss if we did not give it a mention.
