More Rumors About Bonnaroo 2012 Lineup

Bonnaroo 2012 is set to take place in Manchester Tennessee from June 7-10th. While we won’t have an official list of performers until next month, there are a lot of rumors about who’s going to perform at this year’s Bonnaroo.

The Inforooster feels this year’s headliners will be Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, Fleet Foxes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Eagles, Phish, Radiohead and Prince.

Another potential headliner would be The Black Keys, who Billboard reports are already confirmed for “headlining slots at major U.S. and European festivals this summer.” Van Halen also has a gap in their tour between June 5 and June 12, just sayin’.

As always, nothing is confirmed until Bonnaroo organizers reveal the official lineup.

Brad Paisley – The Virtual Reality World Tour

Country superstar Brad Paisley has decided to change the name for his upcoming area tour to the Virtual Reality World Tour 2012. Paisley’s tour maintains the same schedule, kicking off on January 12th in Grand Rapids, MI, and stopping by areas in 20 cities across the nation through early March.

“When you see plans and sketches on paper it’s one thing but to actually see it in real life is something else, and that’s what happened to me when we were in tour rehearsals,” Paisley explained of the tour’s name change in a press release. “When I saw the visuals and how exciting and sometimes mind-blowing they were I just felt the tour name needed to reflect what the fans were going to see. For two hours each night of the tour they can be taken away from reality — literally.”
