"Bonnaroo was the sixth largest city in the state of Tennessee for two days." -Janna Hellums / Executive director of the Manchester Area - Chamber of Commerce
Time: June 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, 2002.
Place: 500 acres of beautiful farmland just outside
Manchester Tennessee.
Population: 85,000
Reason for enduring the blazing Tennessee heat: Many of the biggest
musical acts in the
jamband industry today. Bands like
Phil Lesh,
Bob Weir,
Widespread Panic,
Trey Anastasio,
String Cheese Incident,
Les Claypool,
Soulive,
Keller Williams,
Galactic, and the
Disco Biscuits all played excellent sets at Bonnaroo.
Bonnaroo featured two stages, late night tents, spinning DJs, carnival
games, and tons of vendors.
I don't know about you but I can't wait until next year!
