Summer Music Festivals 2008

Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival
Location: Manchester, Tenn.
Dates: June 12-15
Tickets: $209.50-$244.50

The artists: Pearl Jam, Metallica, Jack Johnson, Kanye West, Chris Rock, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss featuring T Bone Burnett, Phil Lesh and Friends, My Morning Jacket, the Raconteurs, Willie Nelson, B.B. King, Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Folds, O.A.R., the Swell Season, Iron & Wine, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Orchestra Baobab and more

The music: Sure, Bonnaroo is famous for its laid-back vibe, victimless crimes and each year's bumper crop of jam bands, but this rural bash held on a Tennessee farm has evolved into a multileveled celebration of music, comedy, film and visual arts. The concert programming meanwhile cheerfully leaps across generations and genres: Where else will you find Metallica's arena-scale shred alongside Iron & Wine's hypnotic whisper? Add in rap, world music and comedic draws from Chris Rock to David Cross, and Bonnaroo is a laughing matter in the good sense of the phrase.
