This June, 80,000 people will trek to the farm in Manchester, Tenn., for the 13th annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival to watch a world class music lineup perform on 13 stages over four days and participate in the unique communal culture that is Bonnaroo. For fans who can’t make the trip to Tennessee, Xbox and Bonnaroo are bringing the festival to living rooms everywhere!
The 2014 Bonnaroo Lineup Announcement Megathon, aka BLAM!, will be broadcasted exclusively on Xbox and syndicated on Bonnaroo.com on Wednesday, Feb. 19, with the pre-show event starting at 7 p.m. EST and BLAM! at 9 p.m. EST. BLAM! hosts, Taran Killam (Saturday Night Live) and comedian Hannibal Buress, will reveal the lineup Bonnaroo-style party featuring a SuperJam with the Flaming Lips and Ben Folds, plus special guests.
“Bonnaroo transcends the festival weekend, and with Xbox, we’re creating a virtual destination befitting of the live experience,” says Jonathan Mayers of Superfly Presents, co-founders of Bonnaroo with AC Entertainment. ”The partnership shows our commitment to serving our global community with innovative Bonnaroo content year round.”
