Bonnaroo music festival announces 2016 line-up

Pearl Jam, Dead & Company, Purity Ring, LCD Soundsystem, Ween, and more.
Fantastic news for people that enjoy standing, drugs, and the occasional bit of music in a Manchester, Tennessee setting! The official 2016 Bonnaroo line-up has made its way into the world.
This year’s collection of acts was revealed on last night’s edition of Conan. Sure, a healthy portion of the line-up was already leaked last week, but the big glitzy acts at the top of the bill were still a mystery. The leak was something Conan O’Brien addressed as part of Tuesday’s grand reveal if you’d like to give it a gander. C’mon, gander it up.
In addition to the exclusive announcement of flushable toilets, the 15th year of Bonnaroo will feature Pearl Jam, a reunited LCD Soundsystem and Ween, two doses of Dead & Company, J. Cole, Ellie Goulding, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, HAIM, a late night set from Tame Impala, and an avalanche of other names you can read on the poster below.
Happy with the line-up? Cool with the billing hierarchy? Worried you’re having a stroke because Third Eye Blind is in the jumble? Offer up your take in the comments and we’ll see you at the “Big Ass Waterslide.”
