Bonnaroo Bonnaroo Announces Full 2012 Schedule, More Artist Additions
Posted by D. Patrick Rodgers on Tue, May 15, 2012 at 6:33 PM
So no enormous surprises on the schedule front. As you might have anticipated, Radiohead nabbed the Friday headlining spot, RHCP will headline Saturday, and Phish will wrap things up with a whopping four-hour set on Sunday — so just enough time for five or six songs, hey-oh rimshot. There are an unfortunate handful of conflicts — Alabama Shakes' stellar Thursday night slot in This Tent is at the same time as Glossary's appearance in the awkwardly named Great Taste Lounge Brewed by Miller Lite — but that sort of thing is to be expected. In addition to the full sched, additional artists have been announced, including Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, GZA (who will do Liquid Swords while backed by Grupo Fantasma), The Infamous Stringdusters, The Dirty Guv'nahs, a Van Halen tribute by the name of Unchained and several more. See all of those additions by clicking the image over there on your right.
You can see the full schedule by bouncing on over to the official Bonnaroo site, or by following me after the jump. I screen-capped the whole thing — that way we can see it all in one place. Check it:

Bonnaroo Bonnaroo Announces Cafe Artists, Including Caitlin Rose, PUJOL and More
Posted by Lance Conzett on Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 4:00 PM
I hope you've all started slathering yourselves with SPF 5000 sunscreen, because we are a scant 41 days away from the start of Bonnaroo. That's 41 short days until we have to suffer through not one, but two Phish sets — echoing through our campsite and driving us jam band deniers to the brink of total madness. Also, Radiohead will be there. And as it turns out, a whole hell of a lot of local bands.
Earlier this week, Bonnaroo dropped the full lineup for this year's cafe stages — Cafe Where and The [Insert Beer Sponsor Here] Music Lounge — with Nashville artists taking up nearly a quarter of the time at the Roo's smallest stages.
Y'all already know by now that By Lightning!, Wild Cub and Fly Golden Eagle will be repping Nashville at the 'Roo this year after winning their respective Road to Bonnaroo competitions, but they'll also be joined by a whole slew of other locals, including 2011 RTB winner Caitlin Rose, Cherub, Chuck Mead, Glossary, James Wallace and The Naked Light (shown above), Katie Herzig, and PUJOL.
Notably missing from the group are Colorfeels, whose disqualification in the first round of RTB launched a hearty Facebook campaign in their favor. But Kenny Rogers was added to the lineup, too, so I guess there's that. Better luck next time, fellas.
You can find a full listing of the cafe artists after the jump.

Cream Calendar / Bonnaroo Lineup for Road to Bonnaroo 2012's Second Round Announced
Posted by Adam Gold on Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 3:22 PM
… And the fun continues on Monday, March 26, with Round Two of the local rock scene’s most polarizing high-stakes 8 off 8th and battle-of-the-bands series. Mercy Lounge and BMI have just announced the lineup for that eight-band bout, which will pit (in no particular order) Evan P. Donohue, Five Knives, Marquee Mayfield (formerly ReLapse), Nikki Lane, The Running, Static Revival, Tesla Rossa and Wild Cub against each other in a winner-take-all prize-vie to play Bonnaroo 2012.
So, which one of those artists do you wanna see score themselves a Bonnaroo slot (and perhaps most importantly, artist passes) and which bands’ blood do you wanna see stain the local asphalt? Be at Mercy Lounge on March 26 to rock the vote! It’s free!

Bonnaroo Bonnaroo 2012 Lineup Announced! [Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish, The Beach Boys and more]
Posted by Adam Gold on Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 11:50 AM
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:
Radiohead
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Phish
The Beach Boys
Bon Iver
The Avett Brothers
The Shins
Foster the People
Skrillex
Aziz Ansari
Dispatch
Feist
The Roots
Alice Cooper

Bonnaroo Image of the Week: Bonnaroo 2012 Poster?
Posted by Adam Gold on Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 9:20 PM
The leaked image above is currently going viral and is by no means any kind of official Bonnaroo 2012 lineup confirmation. (Obvs.)
But whaddaya think? Real or fake?
Hot Goss / Bonnaroo Maynard James Keenan Says He Won’t Be at Bonnaroo, But Alice Cooper and Danzig Will
Posted by Adam Gold on Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 7:04 PM
So I just did a phoner with Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer dude Maynard James Keenan. Check out what he had to say when asked if any of his three bands will appear at Bonnaroo this year:
Nashville Cream: Are any of the three bands you play in gonna play Bonnaroo this year?Maynard James Keenan: I think Puscifer was offered a slot, but we really didn’t have any interest in playing in the same tent with Danzig and Alice Cooper. SORRY.
NC: [Laughs] Why not?

Bonnaroo Road to Bonnaroo 2012 Announces Dates and First Round Contenders
Posted by Adam Gold on Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 2:50 PM
While Bonnaroo promoters have still yet to announce the 2012 lineup for Middle Tennessee’s favorite music festival, BMI and Mercy Lounge are dropping some signif' Road to Bonnaroo deets today. The fourth installment of the local rock scene’s most musically and emotionally combustible multi-round battle of the bands competition — where, in three monthly 8 off 8th installments, 24 local artists vie for three high-stakes cafe stage slots at Bonnaroo — will take place on Feb. 27, March 26 and April 16 at Mercy Lounge. As in previous years, an “industry panel” comprised of local music journalists, bloggers and 8 off 8th hosts will go halvesies with an electorate of audience voters in determining each round’s winner.
Colorfeels, By Lightning!, Toy (Editor's Note: Toy? Who's Toy? What's the Toy story?), The Hollywood Kills, Quichenight, Laura Reed, Sam & Tre and Brandon Jazz and His Armed Forces round out the first set of contenders to face off in round one. While my money is on Sam & Tre, I’d say this is a pretty evenly matched host of festival-hungry hopefuls. It’s anyone’s game, yo. So say you?
