music Bonnaroo 2011 to Get Sucker-Punched by Climate Change?




Have you ever wondered what exactly is up with ? This informative report can give you an insight into everything you've ever wanted to know about .



Those of you not familiar with the latest on now have at least a basic understanding. But there's more to come.

For the uninitiated, Bonnaroo takes place in Manchester Tennessee, in the middle of June. If you’ve never been to Manchester, TN, which you likely haven’t been unless it was for Bonnaroo, here’s the rundown: it’s hot and wet, and muddy as hell. After 3 days of tens of thousands of people doing their business in porta-potties and clomping through the mud, the place smells to holy hell—it’s like some medieval European town where the black plague has hit, and hit hard.

Unless you’re 17 or some bumpkin from Tennessee, or 17 and some bumpkin from Tennessee, it’s a disgusting mess. And here’s the thing: this winter exhibited all the hallmark signs of climate change, as the world gets hotter and wetter. Yes, this winter was cold, but the overall annual warming unlocks arctic air, making storms, yada yada. Anyway the point is, the hot disgusting mess that is Bonnaroo is probably going to be even hotter and wetter this year.

The only thing that makes it worth it is a lineup good enough to subject yourself to the torture. Everyone has their price—in 2009 that price, for me, was Beastie Boys, Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors and Bruce Springsteen, all in one fest. It’s like the Costco of music festivals. Was it worth it? Just about.

So who is on the Bonnaroo lineup this year? Arcade Fire, check. Lil Wayne, half-check. Eminem… you’re losing me. From there the lineup looks a little more disappointing—to drag my ass out to the middle of muddy Tennessee, you’re going to need more than Buffalo Springfield. For 2011, you need Radiohead.

But by all means—decide for yourself. Full Bonaroo 2011 lineup below. Tickets go on sale Feb 19th, fest is June 9-11 in Manchester, TN.
