My feeling is that this is going to be a good show. Springteen should sell a few tickets. The top few that I would like to see at this year’s Bonnaroo is Nine Inch Nail, Ben Harper (always supurb), Gov’t Mule, Mars Volta, Bela Flec, Rodrigo y Gabriala, Coheed & Cambria, Grace Potter, and maybe a couple more that would be entertaining. Before I consider buying my ticket this year, the promoters will have to add a few others. I would say that Widespread Panic would be a good addition.
