The comedian confirmed fun., Santigold, the Flaming Lips and Grizzly Bear will perform, with Grandmaster Flash acting as official DJ. The Colbert Report will also feature interviews with each performer the week of August 13th.
"Does Bonnaroo have cruise missiles? I think not," joked Colbert. "It's summer and that means it's time to remount my long-running, one-year tradition of throwing my own summer concert."
