Bonnaroo Bonnaroo 2012 Lineup Announced! [Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish, The Beach Boys and more]

FINALLY!
Bonnaroo[dot]com has just posted the official Bonnaroo 2012 lineup. It’s not terribly unlike that featured on the leaked ‘Roo poster we posted here last week. The most noticeable difference being that this lineup features that Brian Wilson-in-tow reunited Beach Boys, and that Phish is (mercifully) scheduled to only perform once. The biggest disappointment (both in my opinion and in fact) is, of course, that Prince is still not on the list. Fuck that. This year at the festival I’m gonna start a Prince! Prince! Prince! Prince! chant before every What Stage set in hopes that it catches on and festival organizers get the message.
Anyway, without further ado, here is your Bonnaroo Class of 2012:

Bad Brains??? The world is ending and this is how it begins!
Coachella has Madness, fIREHOSE, and Greg Ginn, but we got Bad Brains!!!
every year I go to Roo i say "this is my last year, Ive had enough with the crowds of people and lack of toilets"...... then the lineup comes out, and I have no choice.
Roo had me at Phantogram, Joy Formitable & Little Dragon. Shame i bought tickets to see each of those bands in a more intimate, air conditioned venue this year:( i was looking forward to camping 3 miles away from Centeroo with all my Alabama buddies that dress like Mac Miller and idolize Yelawolf.
