I don't know that it's likely that this will happen at Bonnaroo, but wow, some of these collaborations seem like a match made in heaven.
From Pitchfork:
Paul Simon, aka the guy who stole Annie Hall from Woody Allen, will be the subject of series of star-studded concerts presented by the Brooklyn Academy of Music. "Love in Hard Times: The Music of Paul Simon" descends in April and consists of three separate programs touching on aspects of Simon's globetrotting songcraft.
"Songs from The Capeman", the first program, runs April 1-6 at the Harvey Theater and brings together Oscar Hernández and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Claudette Sierra, Obie Bermudez, Ray de la Paz, and more for a concert staging of Simon's 1998 Broadway show The Capeman. Little Anthony and the Imperials will make a special appearance as well.
"Under African Skies" is next, running April 9-13 at the Howard Gilman Opera House. David Byrne, Hugh Masekela, Cyro Baptista, Milton Nascimento, Kaïssa, Luciana Souza, and others will be on hand to help Simon and his band recreate tunes from Graceland and The Rhythm of the Saints. What, no Chevy Chase?
"American Tunes", finally, takes over the Howard Gilman Opera House April 23-27. The collaboration-happy Grizzly Bear will join the Roches, Olu Dara, and others to assist Simon as he spins through some of his more domestic fare.
Simon plus David Byrne, Cyro Baptista, Grizzly Bear???? Sick sick sick. If I could, I would be in New York for all of April.

This would make a great late night (listening Superfly?) Paul Simon could play a three or four hour show with multitudes of ridiculously fantastic guests.
Simon with some Byrne? Sounds delightful! And it's just after my sister's b-day. And she lives in NYC. And I was already planning on visiting her for her b-day. Maybe I should stay an extra day or two...
