After reading several rumors that the Bonnaroo 2019 lineup would be returning to it’s more ‘authentic’ roots, they’ve really done it. They’ve brought back the diversity that the festival is so known for. Just talking to fellow Bonnaroovians, and even some people who haven’t attended yet, everyone is excited about what the Farm is going to be offering this year!

Childish Gambino

Not only is this artist more or less going to be a crowd favorite but it’s also been rumored (from various different dependable sources) that this show is set to be one of the last few that Glover performs for a while! I’m not confirming, nor deny this, I am highly recommending that you catch at least some of his set! (Currently taking bets that he’s shirtless with white pants- anyone want in on the action?

Zhu & Odesza

These are two artists that I’m so stoked to see. Initially, Zhu was supposed to play in my hometown, but sadly the show was cancelled. (*Sigh) He was a mystery artists until mid-2014 when he started sharing a little more about himself, but still focused his interviews on the music and production.

Seeing Odesza on the Farm is going to be something great. My rave fam are strong supports of them, and sad to say that I missed the one time they were able to come to my hometown. But good things happen for a reason right! Make sure you don’t miss their amazing drumline and visuals. Their show is one you don’t want to miss. The group has also recently released their Zyra Odesza VIP Remix- so make sure to check it out if you’re on the fence about catching this set. I promise it’ll change your mind!

Griz

There have been tons of (if not most of them) rumors about the conflicts between Griz and Phish on Friday- however let me just say a few things to keep in mind:

• Phish has three individual sets throughout the entire fest- if you don’t catch Friday (Although Friday is rumored to be the best of the Phish sets for the weekend) make sure you try and catch another set Sunday!
• Griz also has two sets during Bonnaroo- however one is a regular set, and one is a Super Jam Set. The Super Jam set is said to be a compilation of tons of oldies that we can all scream and shout to!

I personally will be likely at both Griz sets, but will definitely be at the Super Jam Set! Griz rocks the Sax throughout his sets, and if you’ve never had the chance to be enveloped by his beautiful ‘future funk’ and electro-soul tunes catching one of his sets will be a must.

• #1: Nude Party – Song called “Chevy Van”
• #2: Clario – Song called Flaming Hot Cheetos on the album Diary 001.
• #3: Lil Simz – Song ‘King of Hearts’ and ‘Lil Sims’
• #4: Parquet Courts – 32 oz. jar = a quart, parquet pattern on the toast

• #5: Gojira – French heavy metal band
• #6: Shovels and Rope – From South Carolina, Song called Birmingham
• #7: Zhu – Album ‘Ringo Desert’
• #8: Lonely Island – Album called turtle neck and chains

No one understands HOW excited I am about this gal being at Bonnaroo this year! I randomly lucked into seeing her set at an impromptu Zeds Dead concert I decided to go to with my boyfriend the day after Bassnectar NYE. ANyway, the show was phenomenal. Whipped Cream can be described as a spunky chick with a heavy beat. I would group her into the genre of sounding more like Rezz. She threw up some amazing remixes of some personal favorites (Excision, Rezz, oldies from the 90’s) and it was beyond refreshing. This is an artist that you’ll want to catch at Bonnaroo. I promise.
