It was a period when there was a. The tour is stopping at only one festival: Bonnaroo. It is sure to be another iconic What Stage Bonnaroo moment. If U2 had disbanded in , before they even began writing The Joshua Tree, they would have walked away legends.

With The Joshua Tree, all the yearning and toil of the previous decade was rewarded, all the dreams of their teenage years realized, and their collaboration with Brian Eno, Steve Lillywhite and Daniel Lanois perfected. Almost overnight, the album turned the band into global superstars. If they were a huge live band in the U. And for good reason.

The songs filling The Joshua Tree are eternal. They speak to the ache and desire in all of us. They speak of God and the Devil. Under the surface and beyond the myth of the record, beyond the iconic images snapped by photographer Anton Corbijn and lensed by Rattle and Hum director Phil Joanou, one finds songs about turbulent neighborhoods in Belfast, projects in Dublin, families being ripped apart by dictators in South and Central America, communities disintegrated in Wales and Northern England under Margaret Thatcher, and a friend laid to rest in New Zealand.

When he finally succeeded, he reportedly danced around his house punching the air in triumph. The promo video for the song is forever a part of its majesty, finding U2 performing on the sun-soaked roof of a liquor store in downtown Los Angeles, fending off the. A local politician credits the clip with making Sin City a more credible place to gig.

For maybe the definitive live version, witness U2. It sounded like nothing else on the radio or on MTV in the late s. It kind of whispers its way into the world. He created the sustaining rhythm on what was then new technology— an instrument called an Infinite Guitar which was known to occasionally give its user an electric shock. Two hundred! The remarkable side one of The Joshua Tree came to a close with this stirring tale of heroin addiction.

The seven towers mentioned in the lyric refer to the now-demolished Ballymun Flats, a set of seven residential towers built on the outskirts of Dublin in the late s, amid a city housing crisis.

Growing up nearby, Bono played there as a boy. Allegedly, Bono wrote the ballad about a couple who he heard about that lived there. The rousing, In , mining communities across the United Kingdom were in turmoil as the Margaret Thatcher-led government planned to shutter mines across the country. The lyric is soaked in the toil, fear and desperation felt by the miners and their families. While writing Joshua Tree, the band sought to create cinematic music. This, the fourth Joshua Tree single, goes a long way toward achieving that goal.

With its references to the desert, it fuses the actual content of the songs with the iconic Anton Corbijn images used on not only the album sleeve, but also the band backdrop and most of its merchandise of the time. Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe Ariz. Carroll was in his mids when he died in a motorcycle accident in Dublin in , shortly after the band returned home from the Amnesty International Conspiracy of Hope tour.

He was a native New Zealander and a Maori. Overlooking Auckland, One Tree Hill is a sacred place, from which many of the Maori people can trace their roots. Bono and Carroll visited the peak during a previous U2 tour. A year earlier, Gilmore killed a gas station employee and motel manager in Utah. He demanded the death sentence and was eventually killed by firing squad. At the time, Pinochet was about to return to the Chilean government as a senator.

This year, The Other Tent will morph into a festival within a festival known as The Other—a new, open-air performance space with a focus on some of the hottest electronic, dance and hip-hop music around.

The first band to play The Other Tent was famed Pink Floyd tribute act, The Machine, during a surprise Thursday night slot for fans who arrived early in That year, The Other Tent hosted a handful of other cover acts too, including nods to The. R, Dr. The unique visuals, earth-shattering bass and late-night sets will surely turn The Farm into the ultimate dance floor.

Big Gigantic are among the top-tier acts that will help christen The Other this year. Jurassic 5 was incredible. Keller Williams Incident was so much fun. Trey Anastasio Band closed it out perfectly, too! Just look at the lineup. It was all pretty amazing. You are one of a few musicians who attended Bonnaroo as a fan and later went on to become a repeat performer. Do you have a memorable moment camping on The Farm?

I specifically remember when Bonnaroo was first announced. It seemed too good to be true. A big group of us bought tickets and all camped together. It was one of the best weekends of my life! I remember leaving the festival with such a great feeling. I had never been to an event with so many people and, for me, it was the first time I felt like if enough people with the same intention came together, then you could do anything.

The afterglow lasted for weeks and I still remember it to this day. Playing the festival back in was really special. We bought thousands of blow-up saxophones to hand out in the crowd.

During our set, there were all these saxes flying through the air as we were playing, and we thought that was super wild. You took part in a SuperJam a few years ago, backing Skrillex and a mix of guests late into the night. How did that collaboration come about and what is the process of preparing for an all-star SuperJam like that? That was a blend of the Skrillex team, our team and good friend Paul Peck [who organized the SuperJam for Superfly for many years].

We rehearsed for a few days in New York City—just us and Skrillex—and then, did about a week in Nashville with a full band and all of the guests. We probably put in plus hours of rehearsal time over all of those days. We were doing hour days back-to-back. We were having so much fun rehearsing, days flew by.

Piecing everything together to make this epic show with all of these incredible artists was. Cut Chemist and Z-Trip represented at the first one! As far as our approach, we treat everyone the same, and our main goal is to throw a dance party! By Matt Inman. This included two simultaneous concerts to raise money for the rebuilding efforts, with a Radio City Music Hall show that kicked off with PHJB, who were personally affected by the.

No longer was it this kind of storied institution; now, it was this symbol of the history of New Orleans music. It just so happened that. Superfly, the New Orleans-based minds that created Bonnaroo with AC Entertainment, helped bring those New York concerts to life —and their invitation to PHJB to play the Radio City show was just the beginning of a relationship that would blossom in the ensuing years.

Teaming up with the New Orleans Bingo! Show, the two collectives formed six different band lineups that each played two shows per day. Part of the challenge was getting our music to them, and then getting them to us. Bonnaroo had a huge role in that. Donations made will go towards off-setting the carbon footprint of Bonnaroo attendees, recycling and waste management initiatives, and various other positive impact programs.

Sold Out. Buy now before the price increases: Tier 1. Tier 1. In that spirit, Bonnaroo has redesigned one of its longstanding stages. More: Bonnaroo introduces new stage. Critics pointed to several culprits: underwhelming headliners, a ticket price hike and competition from smaller specialized festivals. And Bonnaroo organizers, of course, wanted to get to the bottom of this, too.

But another result is very telling: Another 35 percent had gone just once or twice before. Only remaining 15 percent had been to four or more Bonnaroos. And their tastes will shape the direction of the festival in the years to come. Let's face it. The people who came to Bonnaroo in , many of them are married with families, and they've changed too. To stay fresh and vital, one has to be open to change.

It's the only constant, as the cliche goes. Dalton Hughes was 18 when he went to his first Bonnaroo in — and electronic star Skrillex was one of the main draws for him. The year-old Nashvillian has gone every year since and will return this week.
