Bonnaroo Updates and Speculation

Next Tuesday, February 9th will be the official announcement of the Bonnaroo 2010 line-up, however some artists have already blown their cover and others have garnered much speculation. The Flaming Lips will perform a late-night set this year in which they will cover Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety as they did for their New Year's Eve show this past year. Also, LiveDaily reports, Paul Simon will be one of the headliners at this years Bonnaroo. As for the other headliners, many suspect that Paul McCartney will fill one void, while the other is a bit of a tossup (Pavement? Furthur? Jay-Z?).
Many jam fans are banking on a solid lineup for Bonnaroo this year due to the cancellations of Rothbury and 10,000 Lakes Festival. I have a voice in the back of my head telling me not to hold out for the 'Roo though. My phavorite Vermont band will be announcing their summer tour in the next week or so, and I wouldn't be surprised if they will be doing a New England festival like they traditionally do. So Bonnaroo, you may have some competition this summer because Phish has the history of attracting mammoth sized crowds to their New England festivals. Just thought I'd give you a heads up!
