Pearl Jam Superfly Productions and A.C. Entertainment are proud to announce the initial lineup for the 2008 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. The seventh annual four-day camping and music festival will be held on June 12-15 on the same beautiful 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee, 60 miles south of Nashville. A full list of confirmed acts follows, and more will be announced in the coming weeks. The final Bonnaroo 2008 lineup will total over 100 bands and over 20 comedians performing on 13 stages over four days. Tickets go on sale exclusively through www.bonnaroo.com on Saturday, February 16 at 12:00 p.m. EDT.
Continuing the Bonnaroo tradition of diversity and dynamism, the 2008 lineup draws top-flight acts from a staggering range of musical worlds. This year, Bonnaroo welcomes metal stalwart Metallica, the explosive Pearl Jam and acoustic rocker Jack Johnson, along with hip-hop star Kanye West, indie-rock staple Death Cab for Cutie and scores of other hot acts. Fresh talents like NYC buzz band Vampire Weekend and Austin electro act Ghostland Observatory will perform alongside revered legends such as Willie Nelson and The Band's Levon Helm, who will bring his famous Woodstock-based Midnight Ramble show to thousands of festival fans. Other special collaborations include the slow-burning duo of Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, roots-leaning couple Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi and bluegrass darling Abigail Washburn's Sparrow Quartet with Béla Fleck. The sprawling lineup also includes epic acts like Gogol Bordello, Against Me!, Sigur Ros and Bonnaroo favorite My Morning Jacket.
In addition to stellar music programming, Bonnaroo organizers continue to increase the quality and quantity of non-music entertainment options at the festival. Bonnaroo's revered Comedy Tent will once again host a stellar lineup of first-rate standup sets in a seated, air-conditioned venue, including Janeane Garofalo, Zach Galifianakis, Mike Birbiglia, Jim Norton, Brian Posehn and the return of David Cross, who will host "Bonnaroo Late Time Chat About," an original midnight talk show complete with a house band, comic skits and special guests.

Ill take it.....and hold my breath jimmy page makes an appearance....and sleep through metallica....maybe...........but im def. gonna see you all down there...good night everybody peace
Well...I think it's a pretty good lineup top to bottom. It's a bit sad to say that I think Langerado has a better lineup than Roo this year, but it's still a good lineup. Maybe the weakest headliners they've ever had...but the rest of the lineup is solid.
Hey, Jude, don't be afraid. You were made to go out and get her. The minute you let her under your skin, Then you begin to make it better.
And any time you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders. Well don't you know that it's a fool who plays it cool By making his world a little colder.
wow. thats pretty ugly. so is phil not a headliner? hopefully umphreys will get a late night. happy to see darkstar. hopefully the additions are good because this is the worst lineup ive ever seen for a fest period. especially one that charges over 200 bucks. oh well....LANGERADO!!!!!!!!!!!

My initial reaction is that the lineup is kind of weak. Really happy to see MMJ, Battles, Iron & Wine on the bill along with some others, but hopefully this gets fleshed out a bit more with solid additions because right now it seems like there's something(s) missing. Jack Johnson headliner?? I don't even know what to say about Metallica.. I guess obtaining tickets won't be much of a concern after all...
