Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Pearl Jam and Metallica top the bill for the 2008 edition of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, giving the seventh annual event its most diverse and hard rocking lineup yet. Jack Johnson, Kanye West, The Raconteurs, My Morning Jacket, Phil Lesh & Friends and Death Cab For Cutie are also playing Bonnaroo. While a Led Zeppelin reunion set had been rumored for months, the producers pulled a bit of a prank on fans, booking all-female cover band Lez Zeppelin instead. However, Robert Plant will be on hand, teaming with Alison Krauss. Also set for Bonnaroo are Willie Nelson, Sigur Ros, B.B. King, Ben Folds, Against Me!, Rilo Kiley, Lupe Fiasco and O.A.R., among many others. Comedy has continually become a larger aspect of the festival, with David Cross, Janeane Garofalo, Jim Norton, Zach Galifianakis and Brian Posehn all performing. Ticket buyers will also be offered the option of buying a commemorative DVD of Bonnaroo, which will be shipped out in December. Tickets go on sale at bonnaroo.com next Saturday, February 16 at noon ET. Bonnaroo is Pearl Jam's only confirmed appearance of 2008. The band has not played since last summer's Lollapalooza in Chicago. It is also Metallica's first announced 2008 date on American soil, as the Metal legends have already announced a number of European festival dates. Their new studio album is expected out later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
