Old boy has been tapped to curate a special stage at this year's Bonnaroo festival, and he's not wasting anytime in laying the foundations: Dirty Projectors, St. Vincent, Ani DiFranco, Santigold, and Katzenjammer have all been selected to play the aptly titled Byrne Stage on Friday, June 12th. Be there and watch them Byrne down the house ...

"I basically reeled off a list of what I was listening too recently or who I had seen live recently and Ashley and Co did the rest. It’s not like these folks need me to introduce them to a wider audience, at least I don’t think they do…" said David Byrne when speaking about how he chose which acts will perform.

He'll also be performing the "Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno” while at the festival as part of his tour in support of his recently released Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.
