The next mega fest to reveal its 2015 lineup is the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival- now in its 14th year!
Set in Manchester, Tennessee, the four-day festival will run from June 11th – 14th and will feature more than 125 bands and over 20 comedians. The festival is known for its eclectic mix of music, which is apparent in its scheduled headliners: Billy Joel, Mumford and Sons, Deadmau5, Kendrick Lamar, and Florence and the Machine (who are also set to perform at Coachella this April).
“There’s really something for everyone,” said Jonathan Mayers, co-founder of Bonnaroo co-producers Superfly Presents. “I think it crosses generations, different genres, and that’s what makes Bonnaroo special.”
Other notable artists that are scheduled to perform include My Morning Jacket, Hozier, Earth, Wind & Fire, Bassnectar, as well as Robert Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters.
To create hype for the upcoming music fest, fans had to call a toll-free number (1-844-ROO-2015) in order to receive a name of one of the performers. They were then asked to share the news on social media using the #bonnaroo hashtag.
“We’ve been slammed with phone calls,” Mayers said. “We tried to something that’s a bit unprecedented, but the messages are getting out there.”
The full list of performers is now available on the festival’s website. Tickets go on sale on Saturday, January 17th on Bonnaroo.com.
