Music fans will have their hands full this spring and summer.
Bonnaroo, the annual festival in Manchester, Tennessee, announced its lineup for 2009: Among the participants: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Phish, Elvis Costello, Al Green, the Decemberists, Merle Haggard, Of Montreal, Erykah Badu and the Beastie Boys – and that’s just for starters.
Bonnaroo is scheduled for June 11-14.
Across the country, this year’s Indio, California-based Coachella festival has an equally impressive lineup for its annual gathering: Paul McCartney, Morrissey, Amy Winehouse, the Cure, X, the Black Keys, Paul Weller, the Ting Tings and Lupe Fiasco … again, just a small portion of the many acts who will be on hand.
