The lineup for the 2009 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has been announced.

The newly reunited Phish will headline two shows and Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band and Beastie Boys will top the bill on the other two days of the festival, which will take place in Manchester, Tenn., from June 11 to 14.

Bonnaroo is the only festival on Phish’s 2009 itinerary, as well as Springsteen’s only North American festival of the year.

The event is also the Beastie Boys’ first confirmed live show of 2009. “We are looking forward to bringing heat and fire inside of your festival grounds,” the rap trio said in a statement released to Billboard.

“We (the band known as Beastie Boys) are like a three-headed dragon with hot molten metal spewing forth from every head. Ready yourselves. Stand fast. Saturn’s second moon is on the rise. We approach you now from the Northeast at the speed of lightning. There will be no respite from our wrath.”

Other acts in the lineup include Nine Inch Nails, David Byrne, Wilco, Ben Harper and his new band Relentless7, Animal Collective, TV On The Radio and The Decemberists. Canadian performers include Crystal Castles and Neko Case.

More performers will be announced at a later date.

Tickets go on sale on Saturday at noon EST. More information can be found on the festival’s website here.
