Bonnaroo Lineup 2014
Like last year, Bonnaroo is announcing the bulk of its fest lineup via a 30-minute B.L.A.M. (Bonnaroo Line-Up Announcement Megathon) webcast. The 2014 reveal is hosted by comedians Hannibal Buress and Taran Killam and features a super jam with the Flaming Lips, Ben Folds, and special guests (I’m guessing Foxygen based on this Instagram). Bonnaroo has been dropping clues on the popular photo-sharing service for weeks, so we already know to expect Neutral Milk Hotel, Chvrches, Broken Bells, Washed Out, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Phosphorescent, the Naked And Famous, Meshuggah, Janelle Monáe, and Ice Cube in Manchester, TN 6/12-6/15. Danny Brown has been confirmed, too, and sets from the aforementioned BLAM! talent would make sense. Popular headliner rumors include Elton John and Kanye West. West would be a coup as the rapper’s previous ‘Roo appearance DID NOT GO OVER WELL. Let’s watch together and I’ll update this space as talent is confirmed. You can stream the megathon starting at 9 PM EST (it’s preceded by two hours of archival performances) at bonnaroo.com, SQUID BRAINS.
UPDATE: Below, check out the Lips/Folds superjam covering Usher’s “Love In This Club” and scroll down for the full fest lineup. Kanye’s back. No OutKast. It’s Elton John’s first American festival…
