The 2008 Bonnaroo lineup was unveiled today (Wednesday) and one big rumored name was missing: Led Zeppelin.
Robert Plant will be there, though, singing with Alison Krauss. So will Pearl Jam and Metallica, which you may as well consider co-headliners.
Other top names include the Allman Brothers Band, Kanye West, Jack Johnson, Phil Lesh and Friends, My Morning Jacket, Willie Nelson, the Raconteurs, Death Cab for Cutie, B.B. King, O.A.R., and Sigur Ros.
The Grateful Dead reunited on Monday in San Francisco in a show of support for Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obnama. That led to speculation the Dead might follow up with a summer tour that would include a Bonnaroo stop. So far, that's not the case.
Bonnaroo will also feature Ben Folds, Iron & Wine, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival, Rilo Kiley, Broken Social Scene, Lupe Fiasco, Against Me!, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Avett Brothers, Drive-By Truckers, Mastodon, Yonder Mountain String Band, Aimee Mann, Solomon Burke, Robert Randolph's Revival, Levon Helm, Jakob Dylan, Vampire Weekend, Battles, Dark Star Orchestra, Lez Zepplin -- the all-girl Zep tribute band -- and a killer Bluegrass All Stars' lineup with Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, and more.
