Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
Saturday, What Stage, 9:00-12:30 am

With over 120 bands, artists and DJ’s on 11 stages, it’s almost impossible not to find a style of music you’ll love at Bonnaroo. Whether you go for the nostalgia acts like Bruce Springsteen, Al Green and Merle Haggard, or if you’re hip and into the scene with bands like the Beastie Boys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and TV [...]

Folk-rock’s Elvis Perkins would rather be known as a recording artist, rather than a singer-songwriter because the latter reminds him of open-mic nights and coffeehouses. So with that being said, the recording artist is the son of actor Anthony Perkins (Psycho) and photographer Berry Berenson (Life Magazine).
Named after Elvis Presley, he was raised in both [...]
