Bonnaroo 2014 Lineup Includes Elton John, Jack White and More

bonnaroo-2014-lineup-poster-608x608The full lineup for Bonnaroo Arts and Music Festival 2014 was revealed last night via in a simulcast event aptly called B.L.A.M (Bonnaroo Lineup Announcement Megathon) In my opinion, Bonnaroo pulls the best of all the festivals and rolls it out into one magical experience. It draws massive mainstream headliners like celebrity festival, Coachella; it portrays the middle-of-nowhere mystique of Electric Forest; and it gives you the dirt underneath your fingernails, haven’t showered in three days bliss of any true summer festival. I may be biased here, having cultivated some amazing memories on the farm, but Bonnaroo’s lineup nailed down some pretty stellar acts all heading to Manchester, TN June 12-15th.
With headlining performances from the likes of Sir Elton John, Jack White, Lionel Ritchie, Vampire Weekendand more, Bonnaroo is sure to impress anyone from your jam band loving friend to your crazy aunt who grew up on Piano Man. There’s even a rather shocking return from the Kanye “That’s Not the Brand of Bottled Water I Like” West after 2008′s debacle, sure to ruffle some feathers. Other notables include Broken Bells, CHVRCHES, Disclosure, The Flaming Lips, Ms. Lauryn Hill, James, Blake, Umphrey’s McGee and many more.
In true Roo fashion, multiple improvised Superjams will be held throughout the weekend including a bluegrass jam held by El Helm, an electronic Superjam with Skrillex and a mystery Superjam that will surely leave some jaws on the floor in keeping with the trend. These are always an amazing forum to showcase the artists’ true love of music.
Bonnaroo 2014 tickets go on sale this Saturday, February 22nd. Whether it’s your first time or your fifteenth time, the farm welcomes all walks of life and has three main rules: radiate positivity, don’t be “that” guy/girl and stay true Roo. See you all on the farm!
