Bonnawhat? Rothbury Takes Seed

Excitement for the Bonnaroo lineup has been waning around You-Phoria. The magic of the Pearl Jam announcement faded quickly, with memories of its last festival appearance and the lack of a strong jam band contingent settling in. Was the festival really worth the increasing ticket price and arduous journey this year?

Enter Rothbury. From those who brought us Coachella, a festival right in our (Milwaukee) backyard. With an amazing lineup. And cooler weather.

Life is my friend
Rake it up to take it in
Wrap me in your cinnamon
Especially in Michigan
…well I could be your friend
— RHCP
