This is for all the hippies out there.

Dylan heads Bonnaroo lineup
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Billboard) -- Bob Dylan, the Dead, Phish's Trey Anastasio, Willie Nelson and Dave Matthews & Friends are among the highlights of the initial lineup for the third annual Bonnaroo festival (June 11-13), Billboard.com reported.

The event will be held on a 700-acre farm in rural Manchester, Tennessee, about 60 miles south of Nashville.

Among the other acts set to appear are David Byrne, Wilco, Primus, Ani DiFranco, Gov't Mule, My Morning Jacket, the Black Keys, Kings Of Leon, Taj Mahal and Galactic.

Tickets go on sale February 21 via the Bonnaroo Web site (http://www.bonnaroo.com).

Bonnaroo 2003 drew 80,567 fans and grossed $11.5 million, second only to Bruce Springsteen's 10 sellouts at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which grossed $38.6 million. The festival sold out in 16 days, without the benefit of any traditional advertising.

Didn't this concert used to be called "Farm Aid"? Wonder why the name change?

Don't think so, I think the only thing proceeds are "Aiding" are the pockets of the people putting the concert on.

That being said, they have had good bands there in the past, but I am not sure that I would want to wait for 16 hrs in a car just to get inside for 2 days of music. I do know that some maggots in the past had a good time there so, perhaps it is worth it.

Rather go to Jazz Fest though.

edit, 16 hours nothing. show up wednesday night and no or stress. and it's three days of fantastic music, 4+ of partying. what's not to like?
