Eminem, Arcade Fire, Lil Wayne, Buffalo Springfield Headline Bonnaroo
Bonnaroo has officially announced the line-up for their 10th anniversary festival. Headliners include Eminem, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Lil Wayne, My Morning Jacket, Widespread Panic and The Black Keys. It will also feature the only festival appearance of Buffalo Springfield, featuring original members Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay. The 1960s Los Angeles band played their first concert in 42 years last October at the Bridge School Benefit. (Last week David Crosby told Rolling Stone the band was planning a fall tour).
The festival – held as it is every year in Manchester, Tennessee – will also feature Dr. John and The Original Meters performing their 1974 classic album Desitively Bonnaroo, which gave the festival its name. Other performers include String Cheese Incident, Robert Plant & Band of Joy, Mumford & Sons, The Decemberists, Florence + The Machine, Girl Talk, Gregg Allman, Robyn, Primus, Alison Krauss & Union Station and a superjam with Dan Auerbach and Dr. John.

Frequent Bonnaroo performers My Morning Jacket are psyched to return to the event. “We didn’t play for two years,” says Jacket guitarist Carl Broemel. “I felt like I was missing Christmas or Easter.”
Tickets for the event go on-sale Saturday, February 19th at noon ET. In honor of the festival’s 10th year Ben & Jerry’s will sell Bonnaroo Buzz ice cream at stores across the country.
