Paige Travis: Whoo hoo, Bonnaroo!
For Immediate Release:
Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival Wins Best Festival Award!
At the Billboard Touring Awards held Thursday night, the Bonnaroo Music &
Arts Festival won the award for top festival.
Produced by Knoxville's A.C. Entertainment and New York-based Super Fly
Presents, Bonnaroo won the award for the third time in its five-year
history. The prize is based on box-office figures reported to Billboard
Boxscore. Bonnaroo beat out the Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza
festivals for the award.
Approximately 80,000 attended the sold-out Bonnaroo 2006, held in June on a
700-acre farm in Manchester, Tenn., to witness headliners Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers, Radiohead and Phil Lesh & Friends, as well as performances by
Elvis Costello, Beck, Damian Marley, Bright Eyes, Matisyahu, Sonic Youth and
many other acts.
The dates and line-up for Bonnaroo 2007 will be announced early next year.
