Bonnarro Music & Arts Festival 2010 has been releasing the headlining names for this years concert through their website at bonnaroo.com. Headlining these years festival will be the Dave Matthews Band, Jay-Z, Kings of Leon, Stevie Wonder, Tenacious, Weezer and dozens of other supporting bands including the Zac Brown Band and Jeff Beck.

Since 2002 the Bonnaroo Festival has been held in Manchester, Tn and this year the 4 day show will be held on June 10-13. The Bonnaroo has grown into a world of it’s own with activities and attractions throughout the site and something for everyone to keep  busy during  the entire 4 days, including the music and fun.

The Bonnaroo is probably the largest festival of it’s kind in the US and has always attracted top talent and plenty of up and coming artist as well.  If you visit their website you’ll find they have thought of everything to keep the fans up to date and informed of transportation choices  as well as food and accommodations.

Many of the winners of this years Grammy Awards are currently touring or will be touring soon and most of the artist are hoping the added attention helps their live concert ticket sales. The revenue from concert tours is becoming much more important now that cd sales are so low, and every bit of advertising such as the popular Grammy Awards can make a difference in ticket sales.

One of the biggest winners at this years Grammy Awards was Taylor Swift. Taylor walked away with Album of the Year and three more awards and she is currently on an already sold out concert tour that begins on March 4th in Tampa Florida. Even though the “Fearless Tour” is sold out through Ticketmaster, you can still find a huge selection of Taylor Swift tickets on the secondary market. The ticket prices for Taylor Swift are very high reflecting the demand for her first major arena tour, and as the tour dates draw closer it remains to be seen whether the prices will go up or down.

Beyonce was the clear winner on Grammy night as she took home a record six Grammy Awards including Song of the Year with “Single Ladies”. Beyonce recently finished touring and her sold out shows never needed any help anyway.

Lady Gaga was also a winner and a performer at the Grammies with two awards including Best Dance Recording. She is just finishing up a hugely successful tour of small venues and will likely be jumping to arena shows on the next tour.  Tickets for Lady Gaga are currently unavailable but expect quick sellouts the next time she tours.
