My Picks for Bonnaroo


I won't be there, but given the large number of quality acts, let's get a little what-if schedule going. I will say this: This lineup far exceeds Coachella. And I hear it's an extremely well-run festival.

If I Were There:
Fri, June 12
1215 - 115 : Tift Merritt
215 - 245 : Patterson Hood & Screwtopia
245 - 400 : Animal Collective
500 - 615 : Grizzly Bear
630 - 730 : Justin Townes Earle
1000 - 1100 : Justin Townes Earle
1230a - 145a : Public Enemy

Sat, June 13
1215 - 115 : Alejandro Escovedo
200 - 300 : Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3
315 - 345 : Heartless Bastards
520 - 600 : Brakesbrakesbrakes
600 - 800 : Wilco
900 - 1230a : Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Sun, June 14
1245 - 115 : American Princes
130 - 230 : Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
430 - 500 : Okkervil River
500 - 615 : Merle Haggard
645 - 815 : Neko Case

That's a heck of a lot of great music, especially when you consider a bunch of the boring, yet popular, acts that I'm leaving out (Beastie Boys, NIN, Phish, Ben Harper).
