Bonnaroo 2014 Lineup Announced; Festival a tad lackluster in the alt-rock and metal dept.
The organizers for the Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, Tennessee have just announced the official roster for 2014.
Watch the video preview announcement below:
Headling for the four days of the festival include Elton John, Lionel Richie, and controversially Kanye West, who took the stage nine hours late at the 2008 festival.
For alternative music fans, this year is a tad tepid, but there are a few notable acts; Flaming Lips, Jack White, Arctic Monkeys, and Damon Albarn will all be appearing at the festival.
Other alt-rock acts of note include reformed rockers Neutral Milk Hotel, CHVRCHES, and most impressively, Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds.
