Bonnaroo: The Best Music Festival of 2009

If you want to go to the best music festival of 2009, you need to head to Manchester, TN to the 8th annual Bonnaroo Music Festival. The four-day camping and music festival will be held on June 11- 14 on the same location as previous years, a 700-acre farm in Manchester, TN. The lineup has always been strong and so have the crowds that invade the farm. Unfortunately I am too old and too broke to go spend 4 days outside listening to music, drinking and chasing tail.

Here are the scheduled acts of this year's festival:
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,
