Bonnaroo’s seventh run came to a close last night with Widespread Panic’s three-hour set. With some decidedly not-so-jam-bandy artists filling the festival’s big-ticket spots (Metallica on the massive “What Stage” at 9 on Friday night and Pearl Jam in the same location on Saturday, both closing down all but one of the ...

Lest you think that all I care about is Langerado, here is a roundup of newsworthy events that have crossed my desk recently. The Hillside Festival in Guelph, Ontario, (that's the great white north for all you geographically impaired Americans) goes where other festivals dare not tread: free drinking water, reusable beer mugs, and, no ...

When I first went to Bonnaroo in 2004, about the only visible green action was the site's recycling.  I hadn't anticipated that things would be much different this time around, but I was wrong.  Sometime in the last couple of years, Superfly decided to go all-in to the green movement.  From the press release, here's a ...

Every summer, a large and growing number of music festivals blankets the US.  They range from relatively small one-day events like Boston's EarthFest to four-day long Bacchanalian blowouts like Bonnaroo.  Held every year in June about an hour south of Nashville, the festival boasts dozens of artists over 4 days on 5 stages.  ...

By day four I'm sick and exhausted. Either the nearly complete lack of sleep, constant inhalation of dust, or the gallons of cheap beer has left my immune system pissed off. Seems like most of the other folks are feeling about the same way. Luckily the crowds haven't confused a lack of energy with a reason to quit all together. I'm ...

Day three and the heat is brutal. Had to get out of the sun for a bit and figured I'd post a quick update. This year difficult choices are just part of show. The Roots, Lily Allen, Manu Chao, and the Black Keys were all up against each other in the same timeslot. Ended up catching the first half an hour or so of the Roots which they did a ...

After a complicated journey from Boston, MA to Manchester, NH to Baltimore, VA to Birmingham, AL to Manchester, TN I finally made it to Bonnaroo last night. The trip had its fair share of adventures with nearly missed plane connections, crazy drivers on the highways, and a surprise appearance by my uncle who just happened to be in Baltimore at the ...

This week I will be headed down to Manchester, Tennessee for the sixth annual Bonnaroo Music Festival. It's hard to believe the festival has been around for such little time and reached such legendary status. Last year it was the top-grossing festival in the world and this year received an award for "Best US Music Festival" (See ...
