Bonnaroo 2009, Friday Night

It’s that time of the year again for the annual summer super-festival, Bonnaroo. Friday’s night sets at Bonnaroo usually start out with bands way under the radar, albeit awesome. This year is a little bit different. Three of our personal favorites kick off an insane weekend down in Manchester, TN. Delta Spirit, White Rabbits, and Passion Pit will all be performing tonight. If you have a hard time picking between White Rabbits and Delta Spirit, do both, but make sure you see the whole Delta set.
Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to make the Mecca this year, but we shall return. Let us know how it was! Bonnaroooooo!
