Radiohead are now confirmed to headline the Bonnaroo Festival, promoters told Associated Press. As reported earlier, the fifth annual festival will be held from June 16-18 on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee.
Other artists include Tom Petty, Beck, Elvis Costello and the Imposters, Bonnie Raitt, Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, Damian Marley, Buddy Guy, The Neville Brothers and Blues Traveler.
Organizers will sell only 80,000 tickets, reducing capacity by 10,000 people to make the event more comfortable, the festival's Web site says. Official announcement, ticket information and more information on the festival will be released later today.
Bonnaroo began mainly as a roots-rock festival in 2002 but has gained respect in the music industry for its commitment to diversity in presenting established artists and newcomers of all eras and genres.
