I am going to BONNAROO 2013! Are you going too? Message me to meet up!
Anyway, I was going through the official lineup (HOLY CRAP) and realized what’s sorely missing: artist genres. For the bigger names, no problem. We all know Paul McCartney and Nas. But what about the smaller guys like Clockwork and The Sheepdogs? I decided to do a bit of Wikipedia investigating and put together a complete (albeit unofficial) list of all the genres that will be present at this year’s Bonnaroo.
The lineup is shown below in the order displayed on the website, with the genre(s) listed under each name. I hope this helps you plan your Bonnaroo schedule and maybe even discover new artists!
Artists in pink are on my MUST SEE List. Those with **** are new artists who, after doing some research, I’ve added to my collection.
