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!

Flaming Lips to Release a Cover of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon


The sultans of strange, The Flaming Lips, are currently basking in the praise of their latest studio album Embryonic, but are already planning another new project. The Lips plan to cover Pink Floyd's legendary 1973 opus, Dark Side of the Moon, in its entirety. The project will be a collaboration with the band Stardeath and the White Dwarfs which features Wayne Coyne's nephew Dennis Coyne and will also feature guest spots by Henry Rollins and Peaches. Coyne revealed his plans for the album last night during a Q/A session with fans after a gig in Los Angeles. While no specifics for a release date have been confirmed, it was mentioned that the album will most likely be an iTunes-only release.
