Bonnaroo 2008: big names, no Led Zep (yet)

Former big jam fest Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival goes metal in a way. Metallica is confirmed, Led Zeppelin as the ultimate headliners is just a rumour. Until now. No sign of Gov't Mule, but Warren Haynes will be there with the notorious trader unfriendly Allman Brothers Band.

Just in case you got excited about Lez Zeppelin on the bill. They are an all-girl tribute band to you-know-who. So, no typo, not the real thing. Rant over.
