The 11th Annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has unveiled their 2012 lineup and once again it's a beast, starting off with Radiohead (back for the first time since 2006), Phish (returning for first show since 2009), Red Hot Chili Peppers (Bonnarookies). The 4-day outdoor festival traces its genesis back to the late night Jazz [...]

Now that Lollapalooza is finally starting to leak, it's due time that the Bonnaroo lineup made its way out. With less than four months to go before the June 7-10, Manchester, Tennessee festival, the official lineup was finally released earlier today, with major acts like Radiohead , Phish , Red Hot Chili Peppers , and The Beach Boys leading the way. Expected lineup inclusions like Bon Iver ( Bonny Bear ), The Avett Brothers , and The Shins will be there as [...]

Bonnaroo officially dropped their lineup today, and it's no slouch. The festival will run from June 7-10 in its usual spot in Manchester, Tennessee. Headliners for this year include Radiohead, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Phish. The bill also sports a reunited Beach Boys crew, and some guy named Bon Iver who happens to be trending after winning best new artist at the Grammys. While the festival still plans to announce more names, including the participants of their trademark superjam performance, this festival seems to be extremely eclectic and loaded with talent. Acts like Skrillex, [...]

We can hardly contain our excitement over the Bonnaroo lineup over here in New York! Coachella sold out instantly, but we won't be missing this one! It only seems fitting that we'd post a Throwback Tuesday for the one and only Beach Boys this week, one of the more unbelievable acts to perform at the festival this summer. We're sure it'll be a treat, as they haven't lost their charm or abilities, which was obvious from watching them the other night on the Grammys. Surprisingly, Foster The People did "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" off [...]
I've never been to Bonnaroo. I've always wanted to go but I never had the money/didn't have the time/wasn't impressed by the line up. But I am making it my mission to get down to Tennessee this year for the 'Roo because, dammit, I wanna listen to good music while on lots of drugs. The line up for the Bonnaroo festival has been announced and it's quite a big one this year. Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Phish are headlining this year's installment. Other acts including The Beach Boys, Bon Iver, The [...]

Bonnaroo 2012, see ya there!
Bonnaroo is an amazing and eclectic festival. 2012 is no different. The lineup was just released and will feature a great mix of new, old and in between. Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish and the newly reunited The Beach Boys will headline Bonnaroo which takes place between June 7 and June 10. Other notable [...]
No one should be particularly shocked that the 2012 Bonnaroo lineup circulating yesterday that we thought was fake turned out to be... fake.Today, however, the real deal emerges. And, aside from the
Well that's it really; what is arguably the largest festival in North America has pulled in all the biggest names in "indie" rock, dance and hip hop to play this year's festival. They've matched Coachella by getting Radiohead to headline (who played a super extended set last time they were there in 2006), and have even gone and gotten the newly reunited Beach Boys, which saves fans from having to buy what will probably be an extortionately priced ticket for one of their own shows. Lower down the list they have just about everyone that released an album [...]

I've never been to Bonnaroo, and I was hoping to keep it that way in 2012. Nothing against AC Entertainment (the promoters of the fest) or the thousands of stinky hippies that populate Manchester, Tenn. a few days each year; massive outdoor festivals just aren't conducive to a great live music experience most of the time. Sadly though, it looks like my streak will end here, thanks to three words: The Beach Boys (even though it's with John Stamos ). You can also throw in these two words: [...]

Beach Boys @ The Grammys Though the Bonnaroo lineup won't be announced until later today (via Spotify), Knoxville.com has supposedly leaked some of it via a photo gallery which includes Beach Boys, Radiohead, Bon Iver, Phish, Foster the People, Alice Cooper, Ludacris, Black Star, Skrillex, Punch Brothers, The Avett Brothers, The Shins, Flogging Molly, Feist and Aziz Ansari. We can't know for sure if this is all correct, but I did hear that the Beach Boys were playing , and many of those bands have been [...]
:: MySpace gained a million users . :: The latest from The Mars Volta , The Malkin Jewel , is available for streaming . Thank goodness At the Drive-In is getting back together. :: Listen to and watch the lyric video for Meshuggah 's Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion . :: Uncle Jesse is determined to ruin the Beach Boys reunion.
Recorded a few months back, today's release was Grammy inspired.

While Beach Boys covers should always be approached with caution, I had a good feeling about this one - not to mention it seemed like an opportunity to give last night's tribute at the Grammys a run for its money. As it turns out, Pete Yorn just might be the guy for the job here: all sun-burnt harmonies with a twinge of '60s psychedelic garage-rock, Yorn clearly reveres the iconic California group while bringing a welcome dose of his own more affected vocal approach into the mix. All told, it's an inspired take that even feels a bit joyful to [...]

This is the Best of the Music Industry? EDITORIAL: Grammys, 2012. Seriously, there was once a time when the Music Industry would spend millions of dollars developing bands and performers. At some point in time ( they blame the internet piracy thing) they sort of hammered away at people's tastes to the point where they don't have any. So what are the Grammys for? Interesting fact there was once 109 categories and now there are 78! Is the music industry shrinking although it still thinks in big business terms [...]

Como ocurre con cada ceremonia de entrega de los premios Grammy, no sólo de premios se trata sino también de presentaciones en vivo, algunas de las cuales terminan siendo memorables. Tal como esperábamos , algo de eso hubo anoche, en especial con las performances de The Beach Boys -con la ayuda de Foster the People y Maroon 5 - y Paul McCartney con un Abbey Road medley escoltado por [...]
The Beach Boys looked their age and then some, almost like some SNL skit lampooning old rockers.

There are three things most viewers learned from Full House : For one, it's totally understandable to drive a car through the dining room; two, Mike Love prefers vegetarian pizza; and three, John Stamos is an active member of the band. That last part is actually somewhat true since Stamos had been a part-time Beach Boy long before the show's existence. Oh well. Anyways, as Zap 2 It reports , Mike Love slipped a little news last night on the Grammys' red carpet, where he insisted Uncle Jesse would be tagging along in the [...]
