NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Dave Matthews Band, Alison Krauss & Union Station, The Allman Brothers Band and Widespread Panic are among the acts scheduled to perform at this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.
Now in its fourth year, the three-day festival will be held June 10-12 in Manchester.
The festival will continue highlighting musical diversity, with singer/songwriter John Prine and banjo innovator Earl Scruggs sharing the bill with college-rock favorite Matthews, bluegrass vet Krauss, jam-band Widespread Panic, prog-metal buzz group The Mars Volta, Grammy-nominated indie-rockers Modest Mouse and hip-hop/soul singer Citizen Cope.
"I think from the beginning we envisioned Bonnaroo as a 'music festival,' so each year we really strive to put together a lineup that highlights a tremendous variety of music," said Ashley Capps, president of Bonnaroo promoter AC Entertainment.
The festival, with a maximum crowd set at 90,000, again will be on the 700-acre farm in Manchester that's been its home since the inaugural Bonnaroo in 2002.
