A reunited Buffalo Springfield will play its only festival date this year at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, joining Eminem, Arcade Fire, Widespread Panic, Lil Wayne, The Black Keys and Robert Plant in celebrating 10 years down on the farm.
Bonnaroo will be held June 9-12 in Manchester, Tenn., on the 700-acre farm it has called home since its debut in 2002, featuring four dozen jam band-leaning acts. This year’s lineup is no different, veering wildly across genres. Eminem and Lil Wayne are two of today’s top rap acts, Arcade Fire and The Black Keys led an alternative rock surge at Sunday’s Grammy Awards, and Widespread Panic’s Sunday headlining slot is a nod to that first lineup 10 years ago.
Throw in Loretta Lynn, The Strokes, Big Boi, Gregg Allman, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Florence + The Machine, String Cheese Incident and Mavis Staples, and the festival becomes a grab bag of styles.
