The Lineup: Pearl Jam, Metallica, Jack Johnson, Kanye West, Chris Rock, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Phil Lesh & Friends, My Morning Jacket, the Allman Brothers Band, the Raconteurs, Willie Nelson, Death cab for Cutie, Tiesto, BB King, Sigur Ros, Levon Helm & the Ramble on the Road, Ben Folds, O.A.R., Cat Power, M.I.A., Umphrey's McGee, Talib Kweli, Mastodon, Against Me!, Solomon Burke and more.

The Cost: Bonnaroo sells only full-festival passes. The first two price tiers have already sold out, which makes all remaining tickets priced at a still-reasonable (for four days of music) $244.50

The Skinny: This one-time haven for jam bands and the people who love them has diversified over time, evolving gradually into a mind-blowing musical smorgasbord. The lineup for the festival's sixth year is no exception: the festival is a like a primer in pop music where artists and genres of every stripe are welcome; Bonnaroo 2008 has got a bit of everything, from blues to bluegrass, from O.A.R. to M.I.A. The urge to diversify extends beyond the music: Bonnaroo 2008 also boasts comedy sets by David Cross, Janeane Garofalo and Zach Galifanakas (among others), an outdoor market and a cinema tent for that fest-romance first date.
