On Spin's May cover, six of this summer's festival stars posed for our Festivalpalooza story. Spoon's Britt Daniel was one of these artists, so we made sure to catch up with him and drummer Jim Eno on the Bonnaroo grounds.

Sorry Dr. Dog, I jumped the gun. It appears that Bonnaroo's crowning performance in fact goes to Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy.

Legends stroll around Bonnaroo with stunning regularity. In the span of a few hours, we were visited by Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir, Flaming Lips guru Wayne Coyne, Ben Harper, and Warren Haynes, the Bonnaroo fixture from Gov't Mule. An alumnus of the Allman Brothers Band, Haynes has made his own rep at Bonnaroo, playing five of the six Bonnaroos to date.

We here at SPIN.com wish we could have stowed you away in our Bonnaroo RV. But just because you don't have a ticket for this weekend's Southern special doesn't mean you can't soak up some of the festival's top performances.

Is the Hold Steady's Boys and Girls in America suddenly part of the school curriculum in the States?

Some may come to Bonnaroo to relish in the comfort of their musical heroes. Others take advantage of the freedom to wander and embrace the unknown. Anyone who takes the latter approach can certainly attest that there are rewards in adventure.

Though I'm saving the final verdict until all is said and done, my intuition tells me I've just witnessed Bonnaroo's best performance courtesy of Dr. Dog.

It was absolute mayhem in Centeroo last night as I fought my way through throngs of Flaming Lips fanatics and curious onlookers, all vying for a primo spot at what promised to be the most psychedelic performance of the weekend.

As expected, Saturday (June 16) night was the apex of Bonnaroo. Sitting backstage at the artist bar, bumming smokes off Jim Jarmusch, the festival grounds buzzed with an unprecedented dose of excitement as artists, industry types, and a fans traded stories and prepared for the coming evening -- one packed with chatter-amassing performances and binding decisions.

As a scorching setting sun descended upon the masses at the Which Stage on Saturday (June 16), Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos dropped to his knees, sending the girls in the front row into hysterics -- yes, the Beatlemania-like frenzy over the flirty Scottish foursome continues, even at Bonnaroo.
