Bonnaroo 2004, Manchester, TN

Anyone going this year? Who’s been to one?

Looks like quite the festival. Down in Manchester, TN for three days (June 11-13).

I don’t think I can make it, but it’s very tempting. So who here has been? Was it worth the $170+ tickets? (I guess that’s not too bad, considering it’s three days and you can camp there.)

My sister’s boyfriend went this year. It’s a big deal in the city I live in (College town and all). Sounds fun, but I’ll probably end up having to work.

Are there shows in different locations across the country, then? The only one I’d heard of for sure was the Manchester one, but I’d heard rumors there was a northeast festival as well.

Holy moses, that’s one heck of a lineup! I stumbled across mention of this festival when I was planning my trip to Tennessee, but didn’t really check it out. I don’t know that I would have planned my trip for a different time because of it, but it’s awfully tempting.

I went to both of the other two, and I am going this year. I wouldn’t miss it for anything! The first one was so amazing that I can almost say it changed my life. No real police, and no real problems. Just good people having a good time. 80,000 of them having a good time. I think the only arrests were for public intoxication and things of that nature.
They have like 4 stages with music that goes from around 12 or so until about 4 in the morning…well its planned until four, but the first year one band played until 8am!
The north east festival got cancelled last year and I haven’t heard anything about one planned for this year, so if you want to go I would try to get to TN. You definitely will not regret it.
