Can I just say that I have never had so much fun in Tennessee before?! Okay, so I've never even been to Tennessee before; but either way, I had the most incredible time at Bonnaroo 2009!! The atmosphere and the people were so interesting and friendly - and the lineup was absolutely unbelievable!! Some of my favorite festival moments are: Seeing Portugal. The Man start Friday morning off with an acoustic set, Beastie Boys bringing out special guest Nas, Snoop Dogg and Erica Badu playing some old school tracks, The Decemberists and Karen from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs sing Crazy On You, NIN playing their last North American tour and playing alongside Dillinger Escape Plan, the incredible 4+ hour sets that Phish played on both Friday AND Sunday - and even bringing Bruce Springsteen out for a few songs!!Honestly, the list of highlights can go on and on. If I were to suggest anything to a music lover - it would be to go to a music festival at least once in your life. Even though Bonnaroo has come and gone there are plenty more festivals to look forward to this summer!! Some that I am particularly interested in include: Rothbury, Cutting Edge, and Lollapalooza.
A bunch of websites are starting to post live recordings from the festival.
You can download a bunch from HERE
