This article just looks cool. I think it's because the image blends. However, I demand personal commentary as I feel it's unfair for me to have to form my own opinion.

(Eminem jumped out at me right away ... didn't realize bonnaroo was this big into hip-hop.)

Not as good as Coachella, but very good nonetheless.

I think just recently Bonnaroo has really opened it's doors to more mainstream artists especially of the Hip Hop or Rap genres. I would say it started in 2008 with Kanye.

The great thing about Bonnaroo is if you're not into the mainstream music there are always several bands playing at once on different stages. Therefore, if you're not a rap fan and don't care to see Eminem you could probably go check someone else out.

As far as the lineup goes.....I think there is a wide enough range of musical styles to accommodate most fans. Being a fan of rap (among other genres) I would be really psyched to see Lil Wayne, Big Boi, Girl Talk, Wiz Khalifa and Eminem. Having 2 of those 5 being Pittsburgh natives is also kind of cool.

Arcade Fire, Black Keys, My Morning Jacket, Lil Wayne, The Strokes, Iron & Wine, Beirut, Big Boi, Ratatat, Wiz, Matt & Kim, Cold War Kids, The Walkmen, Sleigh Bells, Freelance Whales...man, even if i was going to this i probably wouldn't even be able to catch all the artists i want to see!
