On Wednesday, Bonnaroo’s official website released the dates scheduled for the 2009 headliners, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and Phish.
As promised, Phish will play two shows over the four-day weekend, first taking the stage in a special late-night performance on Friday (or early Saturday, depending how you look at it). Hopefully, they not suffer the same misfortunes that Kanye West faced at last year’s festival, when he upset the Bonnaroo crowd for delaying the start of his set for nearly two hours. Phish’s second performance, on Sunday, will close proceedings at Bonnaroo.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will make their heavily-anticipated Bonnaroo debut on the Saturday. Though the times for each of these respective three performances have not yet been named, more information should be released soon.
June 11 could not come soon enough.
