Fans used the mushroom fountain inside Centeroo to cool off well into the night.MANCHESTER, Tenn. – Like a lot of people, Ashley Capps has those panic-attack moments of doubt and fear when planning a big event. But not everybody gets to invite 80,000 people to a party that will include Paul McCartney on the guest list.
Capps is the AC in AC Entertainment, co-producers of the Bonnaroo Music & Art Festival, which wrapped up Sunday night in Manchester, Tenn., with a performance by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Capps founded the Knoxville-based company in 1991.
On Friday night, McCartney played a 21/2-hour set of hit after hit from his days with The Beatles, Wings and his solo career. For most of the crowd — including Capps — it was an emotional experience.
“I cried a couple of times,” he said.
Chattanooga radio personality Brad Steiner shared his feelings.
