Arcade Fire, Eminem and country music icon Loretta Lynn are among the major stars announced for the 10th annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee.
Much like the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California and the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts in Britain, Bonnaroo is among the top live music gatherings of the year.
Typically some 80,000 people from around the world trek to Manchester, Tenn., about an hour southeast of Nashville, for the four-day event. This year's Bonnaroo runs 9-12 June 2011.
For the 2011 edition, other major acts will be Widespread Panic, The Black Keys, Buffalo Springfield featuring Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Richie Furay, Rick Rosas and Joe Vitale, My Morning Jacket, Lil Wayne, Robert Plant & Band of Joy and Mumford & Sons.
Also included are The Strokes, The Decemberists, Dr. John and the Original Meters and Florence & the Machine.
Tickets, which include four days of music, camping and parking, go on sale at noon Saturday, 19 February 2011, at the event's website, bonnaroo.com.
