Well, they made the decision too easy for me this year: not going. Metallica? Pearl Jam? Jack Johnson? Don’t care, don’t care, and why??? After two years of phenomenal line-ups, Bonnaroo had to slip up eventually, and after rumors of a possible appearance by Led Zeppelin led to an invariably anti-climactic line-up announcement with only a Robert Plant and Alison Krauss performance to assuage the Zeppelin fanatics, the 2008 Bonnaroo festival looks to be a bona fide stinker. That is not to say there aren’t some great bands playing- just not enough to put up with the heat, the dirt, and the hippies. Oh well, maybe next year.
Bonnaroo 2008 line-up revealed: yawn

Sigh. Both Coachella and B’roo are less than stellar this year. Aren’t the Coachella folks doing an east coast thing? Perhaps that will be more appealing.

usually, these things pull out the big guns for headliners, but both coachella and bonnaroo seem sort of same old same old. i mean, jack johnson? wtf?

Yeah, very odd. I’ve no doubt both will be very well attended, but they’ve clearly hit a wall with regard to marquee headliners. There’s always virginfest. 😉

Virginfest sounds a lot more appealing than it probably is.
