Bonnaroo Adds Sunrise Sets...and Barry Makes His Most Embarrassing Mistake Yet

Bonnaroo adds sunrise sets to the 2026 lineup, but first, Barry has to eat a little crow. We go down a rabbit hole of music history before shifting gears to talk Bonnaroo news, plus other festivals like Shaky Knees who just released their lineup. Finally we talk a little bit about this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees!Listen to this week's episode here or watch it on YouTube.
