Bonnaroo 2008 Line-Up Leaked!

Well, maybe. In any case, it's fun to think about Vashti Bunyan strumming next to Marilyn Manson.

Having a ball at last year's Bonnaroo festival.

This year's Bonnaroo line-up—official or otherwise—made its way into our in-box, and, well, it's interesting. Acts range from boring (Coldplay and Counting Crows) to exciting (The Whigs, Girl Talk, Of Montreal, and Black Moth Super Rainbow), from shocking (Marilyn Manson?) to confusing (Is Anthony Braxton who we think she is?), and from "We thought he was dead" (Chuck Berry and Lee "Scratch" Perry) to "He's dead, isn't he?" (Blind Melon). We'll keep you posted when the official roster gets released. —Nick Haramis

Anthony Braxton is a sax player and one of the forefathers of free/avant jazz. He is not Toni Braxton.

And Blind Melon has reunited and is touring with a new vocalist.

Also, this is completely fake.

Okay, for one thing, there is way too many older bands in that lineup to be true. And if they get that piece of crap KID ROCK to play I will boycott Bonnaroo. Manson is also pretty stupid for Bonnaroo. Come on. I agree with the other dude that this is completely fake but if it isnt then boycott bonnaroo.

Im not saying that this lineup a fake, however, I find it hard to believe that Maralyn Manson, Kid Rock, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will be playing a “traditionally” hippie-fest with the likes of Willie Nelson, The Moody Blues, and Yonder Mountain String Band. P.S.: I really don’t want to see Marilyn Manson when im dosed. Call me crazy…
