My 10 Favorite Acts at Bonnaroo

I've been back from Bonnaroo for about a week now and feel like I've finally recovered...the sunburn is mostly healed now, too! It was an exhausting weekend, but a ton of fun!

You've already seen the acts I was excited to see and my pictures. As my final post for this year's festival, I will present my ten favorite acts:

10. Bon Iver
9. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
8. Red Hot Chili Peppers
7. The Black Lips
6. tUnE-yArDs
5. EMA
4. Laura Marling
3. The Antlers
2. St. Vincent
1. Santigold

There were, unfortunately, a few bands that I would have liked to see and didn't get the chance to that I'm sure would have made the list. I heard nothing but good things about the sets of The War on Drugs, Alabama Shakes and Black Star. Radiohead would have made it, too, had I been close enough to the stage to see or hear them.

Oh well, such is the nature of jam-packed music festivals. Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to see all these bands in the future!

Happy Bonnaroo!
