Opinion / Jeff Hahne / News Bonna-rumors

Posted By on Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 5:16 PM

It never fails, as soon as one Bonnaroo ends, rumors start for who will play the next one. With an official announcement expected on Feb. 2, the rumor mill is flying off the handle as to who will perform at this year's 'Roo.

Dave Matthews Band just released its summer tour schedule, and there's a big gap between June 8 and June 15, leading to the obvious guess he'll be at Bonnaroo between June 10 and 14.

You can also guess a few based on bands that played two years ago — bands rarely play two years in a row, with the exception of Ben Harper and Les Claypool who seem to be there all the time. So, judging by 2008, I'd throw in Vampire Weekend, The Dead Weather and The Avett Brothers. Going back to return performers from 2007, I'd love to see The Black Keys, The Flaming Lips, Regina Spektor...

I'm guessing one of the Marley's will be there... some form of The Dead - probably Further. John Butler Trio has a new album coming out, so that's a guess. As for rock bands, I'd be interested in seeing Alice in Chains, Them Crooked Vultures or perhaps a reunited Soundgarden or Faith No More. GWAR has apparently confirmed, though that seems like an odd fit.

Online rumors throw around Kings of Leon, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, The Rolling Stones and The Who.

Perhaps the Pavement reunion will also stop by. Corinne Baily Rae is heading out on tour. Mayer Hawthorne and Florence and the Machine have been getting a lot of press.

Sly and the Family Stone is playing Coachella - could they make it to Bonnaroo? I guess we'll have to wait until Tuesday to have a better idea.
