The initial lineup for Bonnaroo, the biggest music and arts festival in America has been announced, and Ziggy Marley, fresh off his fourth Grammy win, is on the bill. The tour stop will mark his first Bonnaroo and the second for the Marley family. Ziggy's brother, Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, played the festival last year.
The 2007 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, a four-day event that has been held annually in rural Tennessee for the last six years, officially announced its lineup Monday. Other performers include the reunited Police, Tool, Widespread Panic, the White Stripes, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Wilco, the Flaming Lips, Bob Weir and Ratdog, and many more.
Held on a 700-acre farm in Manchester (about 60 miles south of Nashville), the festival will host over 100 bands and 20 comedians performing on 13 stages. Tickets go on sale next Friday, February 23, at noon ET at www.bonnaroo.com.
