Bonnaroo 2009 DVD set to Release

Despite what your "underground" friends might tell you, Bonnaroo is still leading the pack in terms of large-scale music festivals. While music snobs (including myself at times) have complained about how commercial the festival has gotten, in concordance with gigantic attendance rates and sometimes questionable lineup choices, they still get the biggest names in the music business and find ways to make their artist lineup extremely diverse. I heard nothing but excellent reviews from those who caught this past summer's festival, but it was meant to be with headliners like Phish, Bruce Springsteen, and the Beastie Boys. A DVD of Bonnaroo 2009 is set to release in December, but the track listing was recently released. You can pre-order this DVD now and be automatically entered to watch a set of your choice from the soundboard or a special viewing platform at Bonnaroo 2010.
