Bonnaroo 2015 is only six months away, and while the lineup is usually announced in February, organizers will share some of the performers next week. The Bonnaroo Lineup Announcement Megathon will take place Jan. 13 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Fans will be able to call a phone number to receive updates, and then they can share the information on social media using the hashtag #Bonnaroo, Consequence of Sound notes.
If you want to find out who will be at The Farm in June, call 1-844-ROO-2015 during the BLAM. Organizers will also share a preview of Skrillex's documentary of the festival's Superjam tradition. Big Gigantic, Cage the Elephant, A$AP Ferg and Robby Krieger of The Doors joined the EDM star for a massive concert.
Tickets for the festival go on sale Jan. 17. The event runs from June 11 to 14. Check out the trailer for the BLAM below.
Consequence of Sound compiles rumors for festivals on what bands may perform. On Bonnaroo's Festival Outlook page, acts like Beck, Deadmau5 and Kendrick Lamar are rumored to appear at the festival. Houndmouth, Robert Plant and Trampled by Turtles are logical choices while Run the Jewels and iLoveMakonnen have been confirmed.
Kanye West, Elton John and Jack White were among the big names on the bill last year.
Fans were surprised by West's inclusion, since he went on a rant following the 2008 festival against the promoters.
"Everyone has moved on — it's in the past," Rick Farman said. "We're happy he wants to come back to Bonnaroo and is embracing this. It's a great opportunity for everyone to look forward, and we think it's a great opportunity for the Bonnaroo community to show what it's made of."
Music Times's Caitlin Carter recapped all four days of the 2014 festival. Check them out here.
