So if you're reading this you've either missed Bonnaroo this year; or you've heard about Bonnaroo and you're still biting your nails for not going; or you were there and feel like you "still" didn't get enough of Roo!
1) The l ineup. From Bruce Springsteen, to Phish (double performance including a surprise jam with The Boss), to NIN, to Beastie Boys,to Mars Volta, to Yeah Yeah Yeahs, to MGMT, to Plubic Enemy,to Crystal Castles, all the way to Jimmy Buffett surprise appearance this year Bonnaroo's lineup had something for all (including DrewBarrimore watching MGMT show from the VIP section).

2) The venue. Nothing better to host 85,000 + festival goers than a 750 acres farm field. Located in Manchester (Tennessee), Bonnaroo will give you a good excuse to drive 16 hours down South(*from Toronto).
3) The stages. All 13 of them! Big screens, big sound system, big crowd!
Or If you're tired of running around just head to the 24h movie theatre and relax.Yes even that is included in your package!There's also a comedy stage, just in case you need a good laugh.
4) The sound system. It'll blow your ears off while still making you dance your night away!PS: **consider packing some earplugs**
5) The crowd. Amongst 85,000 + people you'll certainly make new friends, you'll see weird and random costums, hats, body painting etc. The bestone till now was Eugene (see pic). Did I forget to mention I saw Santa Claus? That's maybe why Bruce sang: Santa Claus is coming to town!
6) The hippies. If you're a hippy kinda person then you'll likely never leave this town! Don't worry, if you forgot your tent, you'll certainly find an old WV ready to host you!
7) The food. Lets just mention these: alligator jerky & blackened catfish burrito. The rest is yours to discover!!
8) The soap bubbles, the hula hoops, the bongs. Lots & lots of those. See # 6 !
9) The weather. We were blessed by the sun, the 32C+ and also the mud. Nothing better for pictures than people dancing in the mud trust me! If then they all head down to the massive water fountain its even better! (see pics)
10) You. Having fun in Bonnaroo is all about you and what you make out of it. We were there 16 hours a day, running around, shooting pictures,discovering new music, enjoying good brewery beers, the sun, the atmosphere, life all with a big smile on our faces. We had a blast and maybe all that smiling gave us a couple of new funny rinkles on our tanned faces!
