The Big Monkey my husband the Bruce fan was just saying he’d rather go to Bonaroo than Coachella–but since Coachella is the weekend following Bruce’s show in LA, I’m hoping Burce’s kids and Patty convince him to go play at Coachella–maybe sitting in with Conor Oberst, or Leonard Cohen, or hey, how about a duet with Paul McCartney?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Call him Bonnaroo Bruce.

Bruce Springsteen, fresh off his Super Bowl halftime performance, has been announced as a headliner at this year’s Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival, along with the recently reunited Phish.

It is scheduled to be the only performance by Springsteen and his E Street Band at a festival in North America this year.

Other performers scheduled to perform from June 11-14 include Snoop Dogg, the Beastie Boys, Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, Elvis Costello, TV on the Radio, Al Green, Merle Haggard, David Byrne, Erykah Badu, Animal Collective, the Decemberists and Lucinda Williams.

The annual event, which is held on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tenn., 60 miles south of Nashville, draws about 80,000 fans each year.

Springsteen, who released the CD “Working on a Dream” last week, is making the Bonnaroo pit stop during a nationwide tour; Phish is also launching a tour later this year, and Bonnaroo is also slated to be its only festival performance in North America.

More acts will be announced later. More than 120 bands and 20 comedians are expected to perform on 13 stages.
