Bonnaroo’s going big in 2014 … and, unlike every other festival this year, that doesn’t mean OutKast. Instead, they’ve assembled a star-packed lineup that features Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Jack White, Vampire Weekend and Skrillex (who’s heading the annual SuperJam) … not to mention legends like Elton John and Lionel Richie, too. Other big names on the bill include the Avett Brothers, Phoenix, Arctic Monkeys, Damon Albarn (!), Neutral Milk Hotel (!!), Wiz Khalifa, Disclosure and Ms. Lauryn Hill.
West, you’ll no doubt remember, previously headlined Bonnaroo in 2008, and launched into an epic, ALL-CAPS rant against the fest after he was loudly booed for taking the stage around 4:30 a.m. (‘Ye blamed the delay on organizers, who he claimed didn’t give him adequate time to load in his “Glow in the Dark” stage setup … but sources told Rolling Stone that the rapper didn’t want to take the stage until other acts were finished playing). So, uh, this year’s definitely going to be interesting.
All in all, there are more than 125 bands — and more than 20 comedians — confirmed for Bonnaroo 2014, set for June 12-15 in Manchester, Tennessee. For ticket on-sale information, check out the fest’s official site.
