News / Bonnaroo Bonnaroo continues clue releases

Posted By on Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 11:54 AM

Just like last year, the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is slowly giving away clues as to who will be performing at this year's event.

Taking place on June 9-12 in Manchester, Tenn., at this point, I'd say it's a "your guess is as good as mine" when it comes to figuring out who will play.

Clue 1 - A trip to space thwarted by a speckled lad's demise. A watershed moment otherwise.

Clue 2 - Cecilia's dress code: Sheer

Clue 3 - Still up. A month now, maybe two. Don't call the priest, just find my guru.

Clue 4 - A veteran and magistrate, or a character of sorts. A throne one cannot abdicate, of which a crab can make a fort.

Clue 5 - Red, White and blue are all a part of this young palette. A farm heathen disguised among giants, the only Ten I see.

Clue 6 - From one BoRe to another, a war rages amongst champions. We're calling for divine intervention.

Clue 7 - Sun shines on these former nannies; a persistence of sound persists.

Clue 8 - A maudlin pioneer living on the fringe; not one to plateau.

Clue 9 - Stop short of a march with this ruffian. It's a heavier endeavor.

The obvious would be David Bowie and Paul Simon for the first two, but most agree that would be too simple. Some people assume the third is The Strokes. Others include Florence and the Machine, The Veils, Crystal Castles. Daft Punk and Jack White are also popular choices.

Any ideas?

If we use the theory that some bands come back every other year, we could possibly Janelle Monae, White Rabbits, The Low Anthem, Grace Potter, The Decemberists, Cage the Elephant among them.

Meanwhile, it looks like Gregg Allman has confirmed. Other artists that have said they will peform this year include Big Boi, Black Star, Robert Plant and the Band of Joy and Bruce Hornsby.

UPDATE: Fans are getting frustrated.
