Led Zeppelin apparently won't headline at Bonnaroo 2008

Weeks of speculation apparently ended late last week when Bonnaroo organizers said reports regarding Led Zeppelin headlining this year’s music festival were not true. The internet had been buzzing about the possibility, but the organizers said the rumors were wrong.

Superfly Entertainment and AC Entertainment said the line-up for this year's festival should be announced by late January or early February, according to published reports.

The festival takes place each year in the small town of Manchester, TN, which is where I live. I have lived here just about all my life, and it still amazes me that an event of this magnitude takes place here.

Manchester's population is only around 8,500 but around 70,000 to 80,000 people descend on our town during the event in mid-June. To paraphrase Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes, the town during this time becomes a madhouse...a madhouse!!!!!!

In the past, acts like Bob Dylan and The Police have played here.
