According to the web site Consequence of Sound, here are some educated guesses on who may be heading to Bonnaroo next year (and yes, pumped about the first one, if it’s true):
Bonnaroo (June 10-13; Manchester, TN):
- U2 - It’s beginning to appear more and more that Bono and Co. will be making their way to Manchester.
- Roger Waters performing The Wall - Word on the street is that The Who isn’t happening. Roger Waters seems like a suitable replacement.
- The String Cheese Incident – This year’s Phish.
- Guns N’ Roses – If Axl were to play any music festival this summer (and we know he wants too), then it would have to be Bonnaroo.
- Jay-Z - Might be a bit of a stretch considering he already has a date in Europe that weekend, but Bonnaroo does need some hip-hop and it only makes sense that the world’s biggest festival would tap the world’s biggest rapper. Late night set? Thank goodness there are things such as airplanes.
- Pavement - Exclusivity won’t matter by then. Why not have them?
- Pixies - Keeping the reunion going.
- My Morning Jacket – My Morning Jacket and Bonnaroo belong together.
- Others: The Flaming Lips, Them Crooked Vultures, She & Him, The Whigs, Deftones, The National, Rufus Wainwright, Drive-By Truckers, STS9, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
