The 2008 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival will be held from June 12-15, 2008. Black Kids appeared on the initial lineup, but were later removed. The Allman Brothers Band cancelled two months prior to the festival due to health issues. Their replacement, Widespread Panic, was announced as Sunday's festival closer.
I used to live in the area and on behalf of all the citizens there...stay away!!! lol I'm joking!
Last year I think some 80,000 people attended and it continues to be a huge success. The traffic worries have all been worked out and there are tons of businesses/hotels who will give discounts for people with Bonnaroo tickets.
