Connor Clark

Connor grew up in Syracuse, New York as a massive fan of teams like the New York Yankees, Syracuse Orange, and Buffalo Bills. He earned his bachelor's degree in Adolescent English Education from The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY before deciding to to continue his education at Saint Rose with a Master's in Communications. Once finished with college, he moved down to New York City in 2014 to pursue a career in sports communications before ending up at TickPick in June 2015, starting off as a support agent before transitioning to a Copywriter, Content Manager and now SEO Manager, where he's been writing for the TickPick blog for over a decade to help educate fans on the ticket industry and how to get tickets to their favorite live events. As a lover of sports and live music, Connor enjoys attending as many games of his beloved Bills and Yankees as he can in his spare time, as well as any live concerts that New York City has to offer. His favorite concert he ever attended was Radiohead at Madison Square Garden in the summer of 2018, with The Lonely Island at Pier 17 the following summer coming in second place.

Our Best of Bonnaroo Playlist

by

Alright alright alright so you probably know by now that the Bonnaroo lineup will be releasing tonight. We’ve been talking it up for a while now, and while we hope it lives up to our expectations, Kanye could probably throw feces at us and ruin the whole festival like last time and we’d still jabber on about the magnificence that is our sweet ‘Roo. Look, we even have a nickname for the beaut. What can we say, we’re in love. (It’ll all crash and burn by Day 3 though, when our brains start melting and we find a new, more human lover. Maybe this guy. Hey, Bonnaroo love is blind. And  by Day 4, who even NEEDS EYES??)

In any case, Bonnaroo will be forever awesome in our book because come on, it has earned it. We decided to pass the remaining time until the lineup announcement by shutting up and letting the music speak for itself.  We compiled a collection of our favorite jams from Bonnaroos past, and it is pretty epic, if we may say so ourselves (we may). proudly present you with our first ever Anticipatory Bonnaroo Lineup Announcement Playlist. We’re working on the title. Enjoy.
