Here is my final list of people I must see at Bonnaroo this year, in order. I started the countdown at 31 days, so that’s how many bands are on my list. There are a few on the list that I won’t be able to see because of conflicts, and many bands that should rank higher get a lower spot or no spot at all because of conflicts. So here it goes.
1. Nine Inch Nails
2. Robyn Hitchcock
2. Wilco
4. Phish
5. Springsteen
6. Rodrigo y Gabriela
7. Gov’t Mule
8. Merle Haggard
9. Lucinda Williams
10. The Mars Volta
11. David Byrne
12. High on Fire
13. Citizen Cope
14. AA Bondy
15. The Dillenger Escape Plan
16. Neko Case
17. Ben Sollee
18. Beastie Boys
19. Ben Harper (should be higher, but probably won’t see because of conflict with NIN)
20. Todd Snider
21. Shadows Fall
22. Snoop Dogg
23. Booker T and the DBTs
24. Grace Potter
25. Zac Brown Band
26. Eryka Badu
27. moe
28. Jenny Lewis (again, should be higher, but have seen her before and she has time conflicts)
29. Elvis Costello
30. The Steeldrivers
31. ILO and the Coral Reefer All-stars
