Bonnaroo 2.0!

Another year, another Bonnaroo excursion. It seems like I’m much less physically prepared this time but definitely mentally there. It’s going to be a wet one this year with expected thunderstorms on all 4 days! I’m hoping to come back like this:

Has anyone noticed how the Bonnaroo line up has been shifting from hippie-esc acts to more indie bands, yet it remains a very eclectic line-up. How often do you get to see Metallica and Tiesto at the same concert?!
The concert is just 3 days from now, and I have not prepared a single thing. I am up to my neck with work and social events that require my attention, yet I retain my cool and just can’t wait to head to Tennessee. So without further ado here is my favorite acts this year (in no particular order):

  • Metallica
  • Jack Johnson
  • Chris Rock
  • The Raconteurs
  • Death Cab for Cutie
  • BB King
  • Les Claypool
  • M.I.A.
  • Iron and Wine
  • Sigur Ros
  • Gogol Bordello
  • Broken Social Scene
  • Ozomatli
  • !!!
  • Ladytron
  • Minus the Bear
  • Battles
  • Vampire Weekend
  • MGMT

I will be doing live updates through twitter, so make sure to add me to your list: www.twitter.com/headphonist

It’s about that time of the year…

…when Bonnaroo announces the lineup for this year’s festival. There were many rumors circulating that Led Zeppelin will be headlining the festival this year but I guess that won’t be happening but Lez Zeppelin will be there. Instead Pearl Jam and Metallica (yuck) will be the big names this year. I could careless, there plenty of other amazing bands that I am really exited to see live this year:

Pearl Jam, Kanye West, Death Cab for Cutie, B.B. King, Sigur Ros, Ben Folds, M.I.A., Iron & Wine, Gogol Bordello, Broken Social Scene, Ozomatli, Ladytron, Minus the Bear, Battles, Vampire Weekend, and Black Kids.

Being my second year in Bonnaroo I know what to expect, I am no longer a noob and will be better prepared (more beer and food). So I’m really stoked!!! as you can see from the use of 3 exclamation points. I gotta get some money together as tickets go on sale Feb 16!

Also, there have been several parties persuading me to go to Burning Man in Cali this year, all I have to say is: perhaps…perhaps…
