Rock giants U2 will headline the 2017 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.

The band revealed its 2017 tour plans Monday, which include a stop at the Manchester, Tenn., music festival, taking place June 8-11. It's celebrating the 30th anniversary of its landmark album, "The Joshua Tree," and each show will feature a full performance of the album - including at Bonnaroo.

Bono and company last performed in Middle Tennessee in 2011, when their 360 tour made a stop at Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville. Bonnaroo will mark the band's first-ever headlining gig at a U.S. festival.
