Bonnaroo recently lost a major artist in The Allman Brothers when they bowed out due to health-related issues. Earlier in the week, when they released that announcement, they also laid mention that there would be a big artist announcement on Thursday. The Led Zeppelin rumors immediately began to fly once more, sending message boards and other websites into a flurry up until midnight last night. Unfortunately those "Dazed and Confused" Brits did not make it on the bill, but instead Bonnaroo added a few familiar faces with Widespread Panic and Les Claypool, as well as some up-an-coming noise makers that we will all soon know and love.

From the official site:

WIDESPREAD PANIC JOINS BONNAROO 2008 LINE UP!

Plus LES CLAYPOOL, CHALI 2NA OF JURASSIC 5, SUPERDRAG, WHAT MADE MILWAUKEE FAMOUS, ADELE, GRAND OLE PARTY, AND THE POSTELLES.

The Bonnaroo Music And Arts Festival is pleased to announce that Widespread Panic will now close the 2008 festival, headlining the main stage on Sunday evening, June 15.

Jack Johnson has chosen to join his friends Pearl Jam on the main stage Saturday night stepping into the slot vacated by the Allmans. Jack will perform beginning at sunset, to be followed by Pearl Jam's closing main stage set.

We're also excited to note the additions of Les Claypool, Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, Superdrag, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Adele, Grand Ole Party, and The Postelles to this year's festival line up.

While I am a huge fan of Widespread Panic, Les Claypool and most of the other new additions, they are no Led Zeppelin. I was almost ready to buy a ticket...almost.

It is also good to see that concert promoters are slowly realizing that Jack Johnson is not a major festival headliner.
