Bonnaroo History | 2017
Stage & Time | Sunday | What Stage | 3:30-4:30pm

Like we’ve been doing for many years now, we’re making it our mission to help you get acquainted with many of our favorite acts from Bonnaroo‘s 2022 lineup. And, for the first time in three years, we finally feel confident that there definitely will be a Bonnaroo this year, after a postponement then cancelation in 2020 due to Covid, and an unfortunate rainout of last year’s would-be September event. Returned to its traditional timeframe of June 16-19, this marks Bonnaroo’s 21st summer and 19th installment, and features a largely new lineup for the festival’s much-anticipated return!

As we dig through the entire schedule, we’ll highlight a spread of performers spanning across genres and stages, big and small, new and old, to bring you some of the most interesting, lesser-known, and most highly-recommended among this year’s crop of artists. And as our time at ‘Roo approaches, we’ll also be bringing you some special features and full list-style daily lineup guides, to help you plan your weekend ahead of the fest. While these previews won’t span every artist, and might omit some more obvious must-see acts, we hope they’ll serve as a way to help you navigate Bonnaroo’s gargantuan lineup, and to make the most of your busy weekend on the farm!

Grab your tickets right here if you haven’t already, and read on for our Bonnaroo Artist Spotlight!

Nashville indie/synth-pop outfit COIN came together a decade ago (we can’t believe it’s been that long) while several members were attending Belmont, quickly finding buzz and a local following through their high-energy, engaging live show and infectiously catchy and layered sound. With only a handful of tracks to their name, the group were already selling out local clubs less than a year into their existence, bagging them a major label deal ahead of their Jay Joyce-produced self-titled debut LP in 2015. While COIN made waves in the blogosphere, and helped the group find early success, especially thanks to buzzy cuts like “Run,” they really mined their time on the road with high-profile acts like The 1975, Neon Trees, and Betty Who, and honed their sound for the bigger, more confident, more cohesive, and all-around epic followup, 2017’s How Will You Know If You Never Try, which brought the band household name status with breakout single “Talk Too Much,” and subsequent big tours and festival outings. Just before the pandemic struck, in early 2020, the trio dropped their most mature and introspective album to date, Dreamland, but unfortunately initial tour plans were put on hold. Rather than sit idle, COIN embarked on their most ambitious and different project so far, releasing a trio of color-themed, more experimental and electro-laced EPs which culminated in last year’s Rainbow Mixtape. And continuing on that prolific tear, the band debuted their third album in three years, Uncanny Valley, back in March, further pushing their sonic bounds and examining humanity’s relationship with technology. One of our favorite indie acts of the past decade, local or otherwise, COIN’s meteoric ascent has been a blast to behold and beyond well-deserved, and after so many years both honing their creative identity and fine-tuning an incredible live show, it’s always a treat (and a reminder of those early DIY days) to see the group perform to such huge crowds.
