BOSTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 15, 2007 -- OurStage, the only 100% democratic online competition that lets the fans decide who is best in emerging music and film, is pleased to join the 2007 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival as an official sponsor.
OurStage will sponsor the Bonnaroo Sonic Stage, where three musical acts will be selected from OurStage to perform. OurStage will also have its own showcase area next to the Sonic Stage at Bonnaroo -- where artists and bands gather for smaller, intimate performance sessions during the festival. With crowds of over 80,000, the opportunity for OurStage musicians to gain exposure to industry trailblazers and grow their fan bases is extraordinary.
"It is an honor to be affiliated with Bonnaroo as one of their official partners and to be joining such a great line-up of existing corporate partners like AT&T, Budweiser, our partner Relix, XBox and others," says OurStage CEO Ben Campbell. " More importantly, we are very pleased to offer the opportunity for top OurStage artists to perform at Bonnaroo -- which we see as a testament to the caliber of talent we have on OurStage."
"We're excited to be working with OurStage and truly believe in their potential to bring the best up and coming artists of today to music lovers everywhere," says Rich Goodstone, of Bonnaroo. "OurStage may be how each of us and the media discover music before any other source."
Bonnaroo, June 14th - 17th in Manchester, TN, now heading into its sixth year, will feature more than 100 bands and 20 comedians on 12 stages over the course of the 4 day festival. Other artists scheduled to perform at Bonnaroo 2007 include The Police, Tool, Widespread Panic, Wilco, The Flaming Lips, The White Stripes, Ziggy Marley, Regina Spektor, Bob Weir & Ratdog, with new additions added daily to the lineup. The diverse array of musical styles include world music, hip hop, jazz, alternative, bluegrass, Americana, gospel, folk, electronica and more.
The word Bonnaroo is a Cajun slang word meaning "a really good time," and was chosen not only for its literal meaning, but also to honor a tradition that reflected the organizers desire to provide many styles of quality music to appreciative fans.

The thing that caught my eye was "new additions added daily to the lineup". In our dreams...
Haha I know! Like that would ever happen. What if Bonnaroo only announced 1 band on Febraury 15th every year, and then they announced a new band on the lineup every day up until the festival, I think that'd be pretty badass!
