The largest and most revered music and camping event in the country, Bonnaroo has elevated the American rock festival to an unprecedented level. As the only round-the-clock major U.S. music festival, Bonnaroo packs an unprecedented amount of entertainment options into its four days. The event offers attendees the amenities and community spirit of a small city, with 24 hours of activities including a comedy club, cinema, silent disco, arcade, Internet cafés, restaurants, yoga classes and hundreds of high quality craft vendors. Since its inception in 2002, Bonnaroo has swiftly earned its status as the country’s premier music and arts event. According to the New York Times, “Bonnaroo has revolutionized the modern rock festival.” The event is famous for the incredible energy that emerges from its crowds, who make the Bonnaroo pilgrimage to immerse themselves in its unique camping community and witness four days of historical music moments. Honoring the festival’s unique spirit, Rolling Stone called Bonnaroo “one of the 50 moments to change the history of rock and roll.”
Bonnaroo’s 2007 music lineup is once again a wildly diverse set of top-notch acts from established veterans to cutting-edge artists. This year, Bonnaroo will host the recently reunited rock legends the Police, along with other revered acts such as Tool, Widespread Panic and the first announced appearance by the White Stripes after their lengthy break. The festival’s most far-reaching lineup yet also features Manu Chao, Wilco, Franz Ferdinand, the Decemberists, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, the String Cheese Incident, Regina Spektor, the Flaming Lips and Damien Rice amongst scores of others.
