Huskerdoo: Bonnaroo? (White Stripes Return)

So the artists for this year’s Bonnaroo festival have been announced, and I’m pretty excited about the lineup. I’ve never been to a festival before, but I’m seriously considering this one since it’s got so many great performers and my semester will be over by then. Has anyone been before? What’s the atmosphere like? Which bands look best to you? The full band listing and my picks follow after the jump.

Bands I’m excited about:

1. The White Stripes
2. The Flaming Lips
3. Regina Spektor
4. The Black Keys
5. David Cross

(Ok, maybe the Police, but only for Message in a Bottle)
