Bonnaroo has seemingly leaked its 2016 lineup prematurely before its official announcement next Tuesday, Jan. 19, live during Conan on TBS. Conan O'Brien and Bonnaroo announced the marketing gimmick earlier this week.
The leak occurred via the Bonnaroo mobile app, where the lineup was only present for a few moments before officials took notice. This leaked lineup is only the first wave of acts, meaning no comedy acts or headliners were included.
Consequence of Sound seems to have independently confirmed what the headliners for Bonnaroo 2016 will be however. According to Consequence of Sound’s sources, LCD Soundsystem, alongside Pearl Jam and Dead and Company — a collaboration band comprising of John Mayer and Grateful Dead members —will be Bonnaroo’s 2016 headliners.
A reddit user by the name of /u/northuke has assembled a Spotify playlist for the Internet’s listening pleasure.
Some of the bands that were revealed through the app include Waxahatchee, Natalie Prass, Purity Ring, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Papadosio, Ween, M83, Tame Impala, Death Cab For Cutie, CHVRCHES, HAIM, Vince Staples, Miguel, Father John Misty, Tyler, the Creator, Blood Orange, Daughter, Big Grams (Big Boi/Phantogram), The Knocks, Third Eye Blind, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Lamb of God, Ellie Goulding, Zeds Dead, J. Cole, Chris Stapelton, Mavis Staples, Grace Potter, Leon Bridges, Brett Dennen, Vulfpeck, Cashmere Cat, X Ambassadors, BØRNS, RL Grimes, Twin Peaks, St. Lucia, Shamir, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Hundred Waters, Lucius, FIDLAR, Beach Fossils, Two Door Cinema Club, Lamb of God, Dungen, Clutch, Jason Isbell, Lettuce, Lord Huron, Givers, Halsey, Sara Watkins, Sam Bush Band and Flosstradamus.
The festival itself will take place June 9-12 in Manchester, TN. Tickets will go on sale at noon EST Jan. 22, and will cost $324.50 before bumping up to $349.50 after the first tranche sells out. Not included in that price is $34.90 per ticket in fees, plus a new requirement for 2016 that every vehicle entering past the Bonnaroo tollbooth purchase a car parking or camping pass.
Bonnaroo does offer a payment plan however if ticket price seems too steep to purchase upfront. Payment plan tickets will cost $350 total, split over five payments of $70 each and do not include $42 worth of fees.
In terms of selling out, Bonnaroo tickets typically don’t sell out until the week of the festival, but you will be definitely be paying more then longer you wait as ticket tranches are exhausted.
