New York, NY. Thursday, February 14, 2008: Superfly Productions and A.C. Entertainment are proud to announce that legendary comedian Chris Rock will perform at the 2008 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Rock will do a special one-hour set on Bonnaroo’s main stage in front of one of the largest audiences ever for a comedy show. The festival, to be held June 12-15 on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee, will also present Pearl Jam, Metallica, Jack Johnson, Kanye West and Alison Krauss & Robert Plant, along with over 100 other bands and dozens of activities and attractions. A full list of confirmed acts follows, with more to be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets go on sale exclusively through www.bonnaroo.com on Saturday, February 16 at 12:00 PM EST.
Furthering the Bonnaroo tradition of presenting the best acts on the comedy circuit, Rock joins an already stellar lineup of national headlining comics, including Zach Galifianakis, Janeane Garofalo, Mike Birbiglia Jim Norton, Brian Posehn and David Cross, who will all perform at the festival’s onsite comedy club. (Bonnaroo regular Cross will host “Late Time Chat About,” a nighttime live talk show complete with a house band, comic skits and special guests.) The air-conditioned tent venue has hosted hundreds of hilarious sets since its inception in 2004, including appearances by Dave Attel, Demetri Martin, Flight of the Conchords and Lewis Black, who told fans at Bonnaroo 2007, “This moment that we’re sharing right now is as good as it’s gonna get.” Rock’s appearance on the main stage cements Bonnaroo’s important role in the comedy world while giving fans a chance to witness one of the greatest comics of our time in a magical festival setting.
The largest and most revered music and camping event in the country, Bonnaroo has elevated the American rock festival to an unprecedented level. As the only round-the-clock major U.S. music festival, Bonnaroo packs an unparalleled amount of entertainment options into its four days. The event offers attendees the amenities and community spirit of a small city, with 24 hours of activities including a comedy club, cinema, silent disco, arcade, Internet cafés, restaurants, yoga classes and hundreds of high quality craft vendors. Since its inception in 2002, Bonnaroo has swiftly earned its status as the country’s premier music and arts event. According to the New York Times, “Bonnaroo has revolutionized the modern rock festival.” The event is famous for the incredible energy that emerges from its crowds, who make the Bonnaroo pilgrimage to immerse themselves in its unique camping community and witness four days of historical music moments. Honoring the festival’s unique !
spirit, Rolling Stone called Bonnaroo “one of the 50 moments to change the history of rock and roll.”
