NASHVILLE – The reunited Beach Boys will celebrate sunshine and summer at the 2012 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival with Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish and Bon Iver.
The always eclectic four-day festival also will include Skrillex, Foster the People, The Civil Wars, The Avett Brothers, The Shins, The Roots and Alice Cooper on the 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tenn. Bonnaroo will be held June 7-10 and usually attracts 80,000 people.
University of Tennessee at Chattanooga student John-David Bruce has attended the festival the last two years and likes the lineup, especially some of the acts on the smaller stages.
“Radiohead, obviously, will be great, though they will be on the main stage, which always is a bit of a letdown considering how close you can get to other bands, but I’m definitely still excited about them,” he said.
