Rhymes With Five: Bonnaroo! Excitement!

Bonnaroo starts tonight! And I'm going! And I've never gone! And I'm pretty excited but also scared that I might pass out in the heat! Or get struck by lightning! Or just get really overwhelmed and curl up in a sweaty ball at the back of the Paste tent! I hope there's a falafel vendor! I love falafel! Oh my god! Bonnaroo! So excited!

Here are the five performances I'm most hoping to catch. (Oh crap. Just realized. Saturday's gonna be a long, long day.) What are yours?

The Everybodyfields
Y'all. I love this band. Love. This. Band.
Saturday, 6/14: Solar Stage @ 5:45-6:30 PM, Troo Music Lounge @ 8:00-8:50 PM

Gogol Bordello
I've been working out so if Eugene crowd-surfs on the drum again, I'm totally prepared. I will personally carry him around the festival site, on the drum, up in the air, with my massive powerful arms. The power of klezmer!
Saturday, 6/14: Which Stage @ 3:30-5:00 PM

Kanye West
The Flaming Lips aren't performing this year, and I gotta get my dose of Bizarro Space Alien Stage Presence somehow.
Saturday, 6/14: Which Stage @ 8:15-9:45 PM What Stage @ 2:45-4:15 AM (Editors' Note: AM not PM. What the fuhhh?!)

Sigur Rós
Speaking of Bizarro Space Aliens! This set is way way past my bedtime and I will likely be experiencing all manner of delirium and it will be so great.
Saturday, 6/14: That Tent @ 1:00-3:00 AM

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss featuring T Bone Burnett
After my parents saw them perform a few weeks ago, my mom said she'd be happy to never see another concert in her life. She meant that in a good way. Especially snce this is one of the last sets of the festival, it's likely I might feel the same.
Sunday, 6/15: What Stage @ 6:15-7:45 PM

If you'll be up at the 'Roo (I'm told that's what some folks call it), too, stop by the Paste tent and say hello! If you can't make it, enjoy the AC and check out our blog coverage right over here.
