10:25 p.m. Update: We can officially confirm that what you see below is indeed the lineup for Bonnaroo 2009…
For all that was last week’s Coachella lineup extravaganza, the lineup announcement for this year’s edition of the Bonnaroo Music Festival came without a hitch – almost anti-climatic of sorts. But that’s not to say the acts scheduled to descend on Manchester, Tennessee between June 11 and 14, 2009 can be described in the same way because well, as evident below, that’s certainly not the case at all.
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Phish, Beastie Boys, Nine Inch Nails, and Wilco will head this year’s festival, while David Byrne, Elvis Costello, Al Green, Paul Oakenfold, The Mars Volta, The Decemberists, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs are among other acts of note.
