It's official! The 7th Annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is now confirmed for June 12 - 15, 2008. The four-day camping and music festival will once again be held on our beautiful, 700-acre farm in Manchester, TN, 60 miles southeast of Nashville.

The Zeppelin thing might not be too far off... think about it, Stewart Copeland was there in 06 and then in 07, The Police headlined. well, John Paul Jones was there this year. Maybe he was checking things out for a future opportunity...Stranger things have happened.

Is Bonnaroo an acceptable setting for Zep? I mean.. its only 3/4 of Zep but its till pretty much Zep.

Remember, this year's headliners were The Police and Tool (and WSP)

Still though... I think Zep would lose some street cred if they took on this one. Eh.. they already have in my book by doing anything without John Bonham. Yeah its his son and all but..... would anyone accept Elijah Blue Allman taking Gregs seat in the Allman Brothers?

This will be just another stop on their massive money grabbing tour. Does Zep even have street cred? Didn't they do a Caddy commercial?

Led Zeppelin lost all street cred a long time ago.

And furthermore, I think Bonnaroo has a reputation as a "musician's festival" now, and even the hippest bands would'nt have a problem playing it.

I think there would be way too many people if Zeppelin decided to play, anyone else agree?

rowjimmy · December 07, 2007, 10:39:20 PM

Not if it were part of a tour...

Casey Lenahan · December 07, 2007, 11:18:45 PM

True, but any rumors about a US Tour?

I think this will be interesting to watch as the line up is announced. If Zep does headline, I think they'll need a good counterpart like this years festival had (Police + Tool is very unique and balanced imo).

Word.

Caddy commercial was indeed done. My initial response to seeing and hearing it the first time was..."you broke my heart Fredo."
