It's The Bonnaroo Lineup! Well, Sort Of.

Bonnaroo, which for various reasons you have to assume is staffed by a bunch of recreational drug users, decided that they were going to trickle out their lineup via the artists playing the festival themselves rather than announce who was playing the festival all at once. This is an idea that has never been tried before, mainly because it is a bad one.

Anyhoo, here are the parts of the lineup that I have some interest in seeing (bolded if deemed particularly noteworthy). Also, Paul Simon is probably headlining, which is awesome.

UPDATE: STEVIE WONDER IS HEADLINING HOLY JEEZ THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

Jay-Z
Nas & Damian Marley
The Flaming Lips w/ Stardeath and White Dwarfs, performing Dark Side of the Moon
Phoenix
Kid Cudi
Weezer
Baroness
OK Go
Kris Kristofferson
John Fogerty
Chromeo w/ Daryl Hall
Neon Indian
The Melvins
The Black Keys
The Gaslight Anthem
Steve Martin (yeah, that one) & the Steep Canyon Rangers
The xx
Regina Spektor
Mayer Hawthorne & the County
B.O.B.
Lucero
Wale
Jimmy Cliff
Baaba Maal
The National
Japandroids
Dr. Dog
GWAR
Jay Electronica

This lineup is a far cry of Bonnaroo lineups of old - whereas past lineups have been full of bands that embody a certain philosophy or theme or something, more than anything this looks like "a list of bands that people like." That said, I'll still probably attend the fest if I'm not studying abroad or otherwise precluded from going, .
