We’ve never been to Bonnaroo but we’re certainly not mad at the way its managed to retain its granola-fueled roots while slipping in completely unrelated acts from the realms of indie rock, electronic music, hip-hop and heavy-metal. It’s more of a reflection of how our diversified tastes in this digital age than anything, but remember, it could be worse.
And now we have Bonnaroo 2014, featuring Kanye West, Elton John and Jack White at the top of its bill alongside lifers like the Flaming Lips and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and such welcome hey-we’re-cool-too additions as Omar Souleyman, Ty Segall, Deafheaven, GOAT, Danny Brown, Chance the Rapper and Darkside. Oh, and Meshuggah. Because it wouldn’t be Bonnaroo without this.
