Get the RV ready for Manchester, Tennessee, people! Bonnaroo just announced the lineup for the 13th annual festival, set to take place over four days, June 12-15.

Headliners include Kanye West, Elton John, Lionel Ritchie and Jack White. Quite the eclectic quartet, huh? It’s pretty fitting considering Bonnaroo may be the most diverse music festival on the planet. It offers more genres of entertainment across music, performance, and comedic artistry than you even knew existed. It’s a hallowed mecca of music that has to be experienced at least once in a lifetime.

Some of the notable genres featured include rock (Cake), old-school rap (Ice Cube), bluegrass (The Bluegrass Situation Superjam hosted by Ed Helms), indie hippies (John Butler Trio), hip-hop (Wiz Khalifa), pop (Capital Cities), traditional folk (Carolina Chocolate Drops), blues (Tedeschi Trucks Band), jam band (Slightly Stoopid), EDM (Kaskade) and comedy (Killem).

    1. Broston Tea Party

      Elton brings Eminem. Eminem & Elton sing “Stan.” Kanye goes home & cries because he realizes his lyrical prowess is no match for the one they call, “Slim.”

    How much did you guys get paid to promote this? I don’t care who is performing, there is nothing frat or even remotely cool about music festivals. NF post

      You’ve obviously never raged at the gorge during watershed or Paradiso. I’m sorry for that.

      Although I also thought this just felt like an advertisement without any real news I realized I’m fine with that. Id rather one article I spend a minute on than a huge banner ad on every page. Also a smart way to bring in advertising revenue, if it was actually an ad.

      And theres nothing wrong with music festivals.

    This lineup blows more cocks than Dorn’s mom compared to Hangout and Firefly and whatever Lollapalooza will put out

    Don’t see the point in going this year if Creed isn’t going to be there.
