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.
