Stripes, Franz, Wilco, Lips Onboard for Bonnaroo 2007 This June, the Earth's gravitational field will shift ever so slightly northward as tens of thousands of revelers, many of them wandering in a drug-induced haze, converge upon Manchester, Tennessee for Bonnaroo 2007. In between blackouts, these party people are in for quite the treat, as the fest unveiled its initial lineup today.

Among the highlights: the White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand, Wilco, the Flaming Lips, the Roots, the Decemberists, Spoon, DJ Shadow, the Hold Steady, Hot Chip, Lily Allen, Tortoise, Feist, Girl Talk, Aesop Rock, Annuals, the National, Regina Spektor, the Black Keys, Dr. Dog, the Little Ones, Manu Chao, Charlie Louvin, Gogol Bordello, and Wolfmother.

David Cross, Lewis Black, and Dave Attell will crack wise in a special comedy tent, while other musical acts of note include the recently reunited Police (as you know), Tool, Ween, Fountains of Wayne, Damien Rice, Kings of Leon, Ben Harper, String Cheese Incident, Cold War Kids, Brazilian Girls, Apollo Sunshine, and the Slip.

As previously reported, the sixth annual edition of Bonnaroo sets the prairies of Tennessee ablaze from June 14 through June 17. Tickets go on sale at noon (Eastern) on February 23. And if this music stuff just isn't your thing, there's plenty else to keep you occupied: this year's fest boasts a "comedy club, cinema, silent disco, arcade, Internet cafés, restaurants, yoga classes, and hundreds of high quality craft vendors," according to the press release. Will it be Wayne Coyne in a giant bubble or Ms. Pac-man, people? The choice is yours.
