The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, which took place from Thursday, June 14 through Sunday, June 17 in Manchester, Tennessee, was four full-on days of camping, concerting, carousing, and various chemicals.

The first night began with the National playing a set culled from their Best New Music-earning LP, Boxer, and at midnight, Rodrigo y Gabriela's dueling guitars closed out the first day.

Friday's lineup was bulkier, with daytime sets by Hot Chip and the Brazilian Girls, an evening of Lily Allen and the Black Keys, and the annual Superjam-- this year composed of the Roots' ?uestlove, John Paul Jones, and Ben Harper pounding out Zeppelin covers.

Photos of all of these bands-- plus the Black Angels and the Little Ones-- lie ahead. Stay tuned for part two, which recaps Saturday and Sunday.
