Two Concertgoers Die at Bonnaroo Music Festival


Recommended Posts

According to an AP story filed by Bill Poovey for Salon.com, "Two fans died during the weekend Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee, which drew more than 150,000 people, and investigators said drugs appear to have been involved. They were the first deaths in the festival's three-year history.

Temperatures reached 90 degrees or higher on Friday and Saturday. "The high humidity, high heat, alcohol and drugs -- it's not a good combination," Brissey said. The festival, at a farm halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga, offered a diverse lineup that included Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews and The Dead.

      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." 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...
