Every June, the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival transforms 700 acres of Tennessee farmland into one of the most exciting american concert series currently running. Over the course of four days, dozens of bands will contribute to a massive live show that spans ten stages and entertains some 80,000 fans from around the world. Not content to just deliver on music, Bonnaroo also features stand-up comedy, cinema, dancing, shopping, food, and even morning meditation sessions. If that still doesn’t sound achingly hip enough for you, consider this: the Bonnaroo App. With individual iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, and BlackBerry versions available for download, this digital entry into the epic-music-fest world is a must-have for Bonnaroo attendees, with integrated maps, schedules, and a retailer directory included. There’s even a custom Bonnaroo photo frame that you can apply to the shots you take on your phone while you’re there. And if you can’t make it to Tennessee and are more than a little jealous, the app features a radio station programmed with tracks from Bonnaroo acts and feeds into their YouTube channel full of artist interviews, past performances, and soon-to-be-live feeds from the festival as it happens.
All of this app integration got us thinking: what Bonnaroo acts also have their own apps? As it turns out, a whole bunch! (more…)

Since we can’t wait to get out into outer space, we’ve started early in the iTunes app store. Check out these iPad and iPhone games from deep in outer space. (more…)
