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.
