TV on the Radio leak Bonnaroo line-up

The Bonnaroo Music Festival's 2009 line-up was not supposed to be revealed until tomorrow, but TV on the Radio let it slip early on their MySpace blog. The Manchester, TN festival will feature headline sets Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and the freshly reunited Phish. Phish will actually headline two nights. As one would expect, there are a ton of other great bands playing the festival including a few local ties including Tift Merritt and Bon Iver.

Check out the list of performers below. Each artist's individual performance day has yet to be released, but heck, the list as a whole isn't supposed to be out yet. Let us know if you plan to make the trek from North Carolina to Tennessee for the festival.

[A quick note: As I was writing this, Bonnaroo published the line-up. I wonder if TV on the Radio forced their hand? Either way, it's officialy out, though the site is running pretty slow. Check out their little video previewing the line-up at the bottom of the post.]
