The Tennessee festival landscape will get a little larger next year with the inaugural Big Ears, a new fest spearheaded by one of the founders of Bonnaroo.

Big Ears is a much smaller affair than Bonnaroo, though, focusing on more experimental music and featuring "art installations, exhibitions, performance art, seminars with artists, and interactive experiences," according to a press release.

Big Ears takes place February 6-8 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Its lineup includes Antony and the Johnsons, Matmos, Philip Glass, Fennesz, Michael Gira, Negativland (doing their "live" radio show "It's All in Your Head"), and Pauline Oliveros. In addition to doing a solo set, Fennesz will also perform in a trio with Mark Linkous and Scott Minor of Sparklehorse.
