Bonnaroo Music Festival Tickets – Bonnaroo Music Festival Brings On Music And Comedy

Although the annual Bonnaroo Music Festival is best known for its music-last year’s headliners included Phish, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Snoop Dogg and Nine Inch Nails—the Manchester, Tenn. festival also showcases an impressive array of comedians. In the past, Bonnaroo has featured hilarious entertainers like Jimmy Fallon, Chris Rock, Lewis Black, David Cross, Zach Galifianakis, Dave Attel and Louis CK, and this year, none other than Conan O’Brien will perform. Hosting Bonnaroo’s “Which” stage and performing in the Comedy Theatre, O’Brien is on the road after Jay Leno took back his late night throne. The flame-haired funny man remains under contract with NBC until the fall and decided to embark on a road trip until his return to the small screen.

The 2010 edition of the Bonnaroo Music Festival will also feature a batch of up-and-coming comedians like Pete Holmes, Kumail Nanjiani, Reggie Watts and Amy Schumer hitting the road for the Bonnaroo Comedy Tour. The side-splitting tour kicks off at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana on April 1 and will continue on to college campuses like Iowa State University in Aimes, Drake University in Des Moines, University of North Carolina and the University of Wisconsin in Platteville. More dates and additional comedians are expected to be announced in the near future.

When it comes to music, Bonnaroo organizers did it again this year, lining up Jay-Z, Dave Matthews, Kings of Leon and Stevie Wonder as headliners. Jay-Z will perform a late-night set on Saturday, June 12 on the “What” stage after Wonder’s headlining gig. Billboard.com reports that the lineup for the 2010 festival arrived on Feb. 9 and didn’t disappoint festival-goers. Bonnaroo is the Grammy-winning Kings of Leon’s only scheduled U.S. show of 2010, and the Southern band joins the likes of previously-announced acts Regina Spektor, Ingrid Michaelson, the xx, Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers, OK Go, Phoenix, Weezer, Jeff Beck, the Flaming Lips and White Dwarfs (performing a special late-night set of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon), Bassnectar, Blues Traveler, Avett Brothers and Chromeo with Daryl Hall.

Bonnaroo will take place June 10-13 this summer and will also see artists like Zac Brown Band, the National, John Prine, Neon Indian, Kid Cudi, Jimmy Cliff, Tokyo Police Club, She & Him, Dr. Dog, Thievery Corporation, Norah Jones, the Black Keys, Manchester Orchestra, Rise Against, Rebellution, Tori Amos, Baaba Maal, the Dead Weather, Jay Electronica, Local Natives and many other artists performing.
