The lineup for the 2016 incarnation of the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival was slated to be released on Conan next Tuesday. And while festival organizers are still planning to follow through with this plan, that pesky Internet has gotten the jump on them. On Wednesday night, Bonnaroo’s mobile app reportedly dropped some names of bands/musicians playing the show a tad prematurely. It then predictably ended up on the Internet shortly after.
The festival’s headliners weren’t included in the leak. However, the intrepid folks at Consequence of Sound have learned that Pearl Jam, LCD Soundsystem, and Dead and Company — featuring members of the Grateful Dead and John Mayer — will reportedly be headlining the festival. However, a bevy of other names were.
Some of the 91 artists who showed up in the leak are Death Cab for Cutie, Ween, Tame Impala, Vince Staples, Father John Misty, CHVRCHES, Tyler, the Creator, Kurt Vile & The Violators, Big Grams (Phantogram and Big Boi), St. Lucia, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Chris Stapleton, Leon Bridges, Two Door Cinema Club and more.
According to Consequence of Sound, the accuracy of the lineup has been confirmed by a festival source, but we’ll know for absolute certain next Tuesday.
