Yesterday Bonnaroo had a day long event where they announced this year's initial lineup act by act in six minute intervals. To say it was a painfully slow day would be quite accurate; however, thanks to the awesome work by Alex Young and the rest of the team over at Consequence of Sound we had a pretty good idea of the lineup before Bonnaroo even started playing its own game.
Not too many surprises and in this humble narrator's opinion a somewhat lackluster lineup comparatively speaking, but additions forthcoming. The acts I am most excited about would be Mr Stevie Wonder, The Dead Weather, Phoenix, The National, The Black Keys, Dr Dog, Lotus, Jeff Beck, and last but not least the unbelievably great collaboration of Darryl Hall and Chromeo. Without further ado your initial 2010 Bonnaroo lineup.
