As we’ve repeatedly touted, Bonnaroo isn’t just about all the great bands that are playing amongst the tents and stages. There are a plethora of activities to keep you busy while you wait to see your favorite act. For all those cinephiles out there the Cinema Tent will once again be offering up 24 hours a day of programming running from Thursday afternoon through Sunday night. This year’s highlights include special screenings of 30 Minutes Or Less and Garden State, which will feature a Q&A session with Aziz Ansari and Zach Braff afterwords, respectively.
Also of note will be a special performance by members of My Morning Jacket and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band following the screening of the documentary Live From Preservation Hall: A Louisiana Fairytale. Plus, the late Sidney Lumet will be honored with the Long Live Lumet series as folks will be able to enjoy three of the Oscar-winning director’s classic movies: Network, Dog Day Afternoon and Serpico.

Finally, after eight years the wait is over, as Gillian Welch will finally release her long-awaited fifth studio album, The Head & The Harrow, on June 28. Produced by her longtime musical partner David Rawlings, the ten-track album is being heralded as Welch’s “back to roots-country” record, and has gotten some advance praise courtesy of The Decemberists’ front man Colin Meloy, who calls it “a new Southern sound with the sort of songs you wouldn’t be surprised to here issuing from some verdant, widowed hollow in Appalachia.”
