Hippies and Hipsters in a Dancing Mood at Bonnaroo Festival

MANCHESTER, Tenn., June 18 — Radiohead was a dance band when it headlined the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival here on Saturday night. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were a dance band. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, the pride of indie-rock, was a dance band. Ricky Skaggs and his bluegrass band Kentucky Thunder were a dance band.

Standing in the 700-acre pasture in Tennessee that has been Bonnaroo's home since it started in 2001, fans get physical with music presented in happy excess.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
