Bonnaroo 2012 - June 7-10 in Manchester, TN
Bonnaroo released their annual round-the-clock schedule of Music, Comedy and Arts programming for the 11th installment of the Manchester, TN festival today and the artists with New Orleans ties landed some notable slots. First, there’s The Soul Rebels, who will be the first band to grace the festival’s main stage, playing on Friday afternoon from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Much later on that night a dance party of epic proportions will transpire following a rare performance by The Word when Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk plays from 2:00-3:00 a.m. and Big Freedia the Queen Diva goes real late, bringing the late night azzstravaganza to the farm starting at 3:15 a.m. The following day, Stooges Brass Band will play the Great Taste Lounge and hit at 9:20 p.m. Finally, on Sunday Honey Island Swamp Band will play the Great Taste Lounge from 1:20-2:10 p.m. Read more…
