Isn’t Tennessee home to a famous music festival? Phish ends their four and a half year hiatus on March 6 in Hampton, Virginia.
Animal Collective have announced a massive world tour. The band kicks things off with a sold-out show tonight in NYC and will perform at four additional shows in the U.S. before heading overseas in March.

Whoa. When are those Bonnaroo tix on sale?!

i guess it’s safe to say there was sufficient interest in the first set of dates…

What I love about this add is that it flew under the radar. No string of rumors on message boards and blogs.

I live in Roanoke, which seems to be the ideal location for the shows announced thus far and the ‘roo.
Hampton – four hours away
Jones Beach – seven hours away
Camden – five and a half hours away
Asheville – four hours away
Knoxville – six hours away
Pittsburgh – six hours away
Manchester – seven hours away
Think how much of the country isn’t within seven hours of one show and Roanoke is within seven hours of 11 shows!!!!
Not too shabby! Finally, there’s a benefit to living in this shitsville.

Now the question becomes how many nights will we get at the ROO? One or Two? Before this announcement i would have said two – not so sure anymore.

I thought artists who play Bonnaroo have to sign an agreement to not play any shows within like 200 miles of Manchester for the months surrounding Bonnaroo. This has always been a major complaint as to why bands are always skipping Nashville. I understand if their was to be an exception, it would be phish.

would it be safe to say that there will be no alcohol or beer sales since the venue is on a college campus?

I’m pretty sure there are moonshine stills all over the upper deck of that joint, so don’t worry about the alcohol situation.

What a great venue & short drive from Asheville taboot.
Now that this news is a few days old … Has manchester grown in capacity – will the eighth be the largest bonnaroo yet?
mmm phish!

The boys love knoxville. When I was in school there from 94-96, they would come into town two days before the show and hang out all over campus and “the old city”…so much fun. AC Entertainment invented ‘Roo and btw are from Knoxville so no doubt are promoting this one too.
