The Temper Trap join Radiohead, Phish, The Beach Boys and more at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in the USA

Come June 7th (through June 10th), tens of thousands will once again flock to Tennessee’s ultimate makeshift arena to bask in Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival’s eleventh annual outing.

Leading the extravaganza is Radiohead, The Beach Boys (reformed, featuring Brian Wilson), Bon Iver, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Australia’s own The Temper Trap (pictured) and Bonnaroo staple Phish who have been issued two sets to fill.

An empty rural property in the American south for the remaining 361 days of the calendar year, the 700 acre Great Stage Park will transform into a self-contained Mecca of entertainment, playing host to some 150 musical acts, almost two-dozen comedians, a cinema tent, a beer hall and a slew of other festivities that operates 24/7 for the festivals four-day life span.
