It looks like this year Bonnaroo has decided to release artists attending the show in an asinine way. They have been announcing the lineup ALL DAY LONG, by releasing one name at a time, via their MySpace page. A quite interesting and very original approach, but also VERY FRUSTRATING!
I will give them props for turning, what is usually a fleeting, overwhelming scaning-over of the much-anticipated line-up poster, into a daylong event. But on the flip side, they are causing record anxieties to the ravenous, die-hard fans who have been anticipating this release (yes, double entendre intended) for months.
Bonnaroo has been at the top of Google Trends all morning, meaning it has been the top Google search. Tickets are on sale as the lineup is (starting to be) released as of 12 noon.

Looking forward to listening to more new stuff.
