According to Billboard.com, nearly 150 acts performed across six stages during the annual three-day music festival known as Bonnaroo.

Known for it’s “Woodstock-esque” feel, Bonnaroo, a New Orleans slang word meaning “a really good time,” takes place every June on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee.

This year’s big name bands included the Beastie Boys, Elvis Costello, the Decemberists, Al Green, Nine Inch Nails, Phish, Public Enemy, Snoop Dogg, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and Wilco.

Ashley Capps, president of A.C. Entertainment (the co-producers of Bonnaroo with Superfly Presents), said she believes this year’s show was the best yet, with a record attendance of nearly 75,000.

“Each year we try to raise the bar in every facet of the festival. You have to keep evolving, you don’t want to stay static or you go backwards. Every year you want to look back and say ‘wow this was better than the last year,’” Superfly’s Jonathan Mayers added.
