A full list of confirmed acts follows, with more to be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets go on sale exclusively through www.bonnaroo.com on Saturday, February 16 at 12:00 PM EST. Furthering the Bonnaroo tradition of presenting the best acts on the comedy circuit, Rock joins an already stellar lineup of national headlining comics, including Zach Galifianakis, Janeane Garofalo, Mike Birbiglia Jim Norton, Brian Posehn and David Cross, who will all perform at the festival’s onsite comedy club. (Bonnaroo regular Cross will host “Late Time Chat About,” a nighttime live talk show complete with a house band, comic skits and special guests.) The air-conditioned tent venue has hosted hundreds of hilarious sets since its inception in 2004, including appearances by Dave Attel, Demetri Martin, Flight of the Conchords and Lewis Black, who told fans at Bonnaroo 2007, “This moment that we’re sharing right now is as good as it’s gonna get.” Rock’s appearance on the main stage cements Bonnaroo’s important role in the comedy world while giving fans a chance to witness one of the greatest comics of our time in a magical festival setting. The largest and most revered music and camping event in the country,
Bonnaroo has elevated the American rock festival to an unprecedented
level. As the only round-the-clock major U.S. music festival, Bonnaroo
packs an unparalleled amount of entertainment options into its
four days. The event offers attendees the amenities and community
spirit of a small city, with 24 hours of activities including a
comedy club, cinema, silent disco, arcade, Internet cafés,
restaurants, yoga classes and hundreds of high quality craft vendors.
Since its inception in 2002, Bonnaroo has swiftly earned its status
as the country’s premier music and arts event. According
to the New York Times, “Bonnaroo has revolutionized
the modern rock festival.” The event is famous for the incredible
energy that emerges from its crowds, who make the Bonnaroo pilgrimage
to immerse themselves in its unique camping community and witness
four days of historical music moments. Honoring the festival’s
unique spirit, Rolling Stone called Bonnaroo “one
of the 50 moments to change the history of rock and roll.” 2008 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival Confirmed Artists: Pearl Jam Bonnaroo Comedy: More acts will be announced soon. Tickets go on sale exclusively through www.bonnaroo.com on Saturday, February 16 at 12:00 PM EST. For more information, please contact Ken Weinstein
