The annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival Held in Manchester, Tennessee, which saw over 70,000 concert-goers last year, has completely sold out all 80,000 advance tickets. According to Billboard, Bonnaroo is now the top grossing festival in the world.

Festival organizers are urging people without tickets to stay home. If you do go, in addition to headliners like Radiohead, be sure to check out some great up and coming acts like Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Dungen, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Be Your Own Pet. All in all around 100 acts will perform over the weekend.

In addition to the great bands, the Bonnaroo folks are hoping to teach some lessons on energy efficiency and conservation. According to their site, their "greening plan includes the use of organic cotton and hemp t-shirts, post-consumer recycled paper, biodegradable concession service items, revolutionary waste management strategies, and cleaner fuel options. In partnership with Tennessee-based company WastAway, Bonnaroo will participate in a revolutionary recycling process that will turn 250 tons of festival garbage into construction material and park benches to be used at future events."
