Hey, the Bonnaroo lineup got announced! And those of you who are excited about the prospect of seeing Coachella-headlining surfer Jack Johnson and therapy-assisted cranks Metallica and total dudes My Morning Jacket and soul pioneer Solomon Burke and a Wallflower-less Jakob Dylan during the same weekend–if any of you exist, I guess–will be completely psyched, because all of those acts are playing the Tennessee festival. And so are many others, including Lupe Fiasco and Janeane Garofalo! Man I hope I can be backstage for that meeting. Full lineup (via The Tripwire) after the jump. Hype-averse types be warned–it does include both Black Kids and Vampire Weekend, who I hope are playing either back-to-back or simultaneously if only to spark a thousand “thoughtful” blog posts:

Just commenting to say that NME are CLOWN SHOES. I will never trust them again. They called it for Zeppelin, and Associated Press, Pollstar and Billboard followed suit. Forty-five minutes later, they all changed their headlines.
How do you fuck the “surprise announcement” up when you’ve had all day to confirm it? I feel gross.
But hey, Kanye West & Pearl Jam! :thumbsup:
Holy shit, Solomon Burke! That’s insane. And I’m imagining him getting Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings onstage for an encore….
:swoon:
Dang, I might have to actually GO to this thing.
Decent looking lineup. I’m going to Coachella this year and was dismayed to see Jack Johnson listed as a headliner for that festival, too. Who gives a shite about him? I thought his 15 seconds of riding-Ben-Harper’s-coat-tails for fame were done long ago. Yawn.
Poo poo all you want; that’s a dang good lineup. I’d go.
