2008 Bonnaroo Music Festival

*The 2008 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival was held June 12-15.
*Black Kids appeared on the initial lineup, but were later removed.
*The Allman Brothers Band cancelled two months prior to the festival due to health issues. Their replacement, Widespread Panic, was announced as Sunday's festival closer.

*Due to a schedule conflict David Cross had to cancel his appearance and was replaced by Louis C.K. in the Bonnaroo Comedy Theatre.
*The surprise SuperJam was composed of Les Claypool on bass/vocals, Eugene Hutz (guitar/vocals), Sergei Ryabtsev (violin), Oren Kaplan (guitar), and Yuri Lemeshev (accordion) of Gogol Bordello, and Claypool's touring drummer (and Cake member) Paulo Baldi on drums. They were later joined by Kirk Hammett of Metallica on guitar for three numbers. Hammett was introduced by Claypool as "some guy that used to sell me weed back in high school." The set consisted of eleven Tom Waits covers ("Russian Dance" was performed twice, the second time as an encore), along with a single Claypool song, "D's Diner".
*Chris Rock's main stage set was billed as being "one of the largest ever for a comedy show". [ [http://bonnaroo.com/news/2008/02/14/chris-rock-added.aspx CHRIS ROCK ADDED! - Bonnaroo - News Articles ] ]
*Kidz Jam, a non-profit organization out of Dayton, Ohio provided free entertainment, water, earplugs and safety information for the families which attended Bonnaroo in 2008.
*Kanye West's Saturday night set ran almost two hours late, inciting angry responses from many concertgoers. [http://www.spin.com/articles/kanye-wests-bonnaroo-debacle]
