Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival Announces 2016 Lineup Featuring Ween, LCD Soundsystem and Ellie Goulding

The wait is over for fans of the long-running music festival known as Bonnaroo. Tonight the full, official lineup was announced on Conan and the bill is packed with a diverse range of musical talent. Running from June 9-12, this will mark the 15th anniversary for the Manchester, TN-based music festival. Despite partial leak that occurred last week via the festival’s mobile app, there was plenty of new news to get excited about.

Conan acknowledged the leak while managing to slip in a pretty solid joke:

“But there is one appearance at this year’s Bonnaroo that no one knows about … I’m thrilled to announce that appearing at Bonnaroo this year, for the first time ever, are flushable toilets!”

Some of the biggest names on the bill this year include a pair of recently reunited groups. LCD Soundsystem announced their return earlier this month with spot at Coachella, and Ween announced their reunion in December after a four year hiatus. Other big names at the festival include Pearl Jam, J.Cole, Death Cab for Cutie, Tame Impala, Haim, Big Grams, Father John Misty, Kurt Vile & the Violators, Lamb of God, FIDLAR, Natalie Prass, Bully, Twin Peaks, Waxahatchee, and many more.

Playing a pair of sets at the festival are Dead & Company, a collaboration that features founding members of the Grateful Dead joined by John Mayer.

Find tickets for the festival at it’s official website, located here. There will be showers, water filling stations and yes over 400 flushable toilets.
