Festival news

Music fans in California must be pretty excited about the list of participants for this year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival at Indio, Calif, April 30-May 1.

Just check out the following list of performers:
Coldplay
Nine Inch Nails
Gang of Four
Bauhaus
Weezer
Keane
Secret Machines
New Order
The Prodigy
DJ Peretz (Perry Farrell)
and a lot more...

I know I'd go...

Bonnaroo
Those of us on the East Coast are more likely to head over to Manchester, Tenn., for Bonnaroo on June 10-12.

Former Phish fellows Trey Anastasio and Mike Gordon will perform with their solo acts, and more acts are to be announced soon.

Here's a partial list of some of the performers announced so far:
Widespread Panic
The Allman Brothers Band
Gov't Mule
Sound Tribe Sector 9
Alison Krauss + Union Station
The Bela Fleck Acoustic Trio
Secret Machines
Jack Johnson
Ozomatli
Joss Stone
Dave Matthews Band

The unfortunate part - tickets start at $146 (before the taxes and other charges). But that includes a camping site.

Hmmm.... I may have to look into that...
