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.

For the first time, music fans can experience Bonnaroo live on TV.

This year’s festival, featuring such acts as Death Cab For Cutie, Kanye West, Pearl Jam and Metallica, will air on Fuse TV, marking the Tennessee event’s first national TV exposure in its seven-year history.

The station plans to broadcast a total of six hours of coverage from the festival, featuring performances, interviews with the artists and exclusive behind-the-scenes access.

The Bonnaroo Music & Arts festival takes place on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, TN, drawing about 80,000 music fans annually.

This year’s edition will be held from June 12 to 15 and boasts a line-up of more than 100 artists.

Other acts slated to perform include Jack Johnson, The Raconteurs, M.I.A., Sigur Ros, Rilo Kiley and Canadians Tegan And Sara and Broken Social Scene, as well as comedians Chris Rock and Janeane Garofalo.

The moment music fans have been waiting for has arrived. Lineups for North America’s two largest music festivals were announced this week, with big names in store for both Coachella and Bonnaroo.

Headlining the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this year in Indio, Calif. is ’80s act Depeche Mode, currently making a U.S. comeback after several years off the charts.

The band is an appropriate choice for the two-day festival, known for its edgy, hipster appeal. Depeche Mode are slotted in to open on Saturday, April 29 while rockers Tool will close out on Sunday. It will be Tool’s first performance in the U.S. since 2002.

More than 80 bands will take to Empire Polo Fields over the weekend, including Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, James Blunt, Damian Jr. Gong Marley, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Scissor Sisters, Common, and Bloc Party.

Tickets for the event, which also features art installations, go on sale Feb. 4 at noon PST, for $85 a day or $165 for a two-day pass. On-site camping passes will also be available for purchase through Ticketmaster.

Meanwhile, the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, set for June 16-18 in Manchester, Tenn. is putting the spotlight on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and UK band Radiohead.

The event will mark Radiohead’s only U.S. summer festival appearance. Bonnaroo promoter Ashley Capps of A.C. Entertainment told the Tennessean on Tuesday, “We’re very excited to have Radiohead be a part of the festival this year–we’ve been in discussions with them literally for two and a half years.”

Also playing at the fest are Phil Lesh & Friends, Beck, Bonnie Raitt, Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, The Neville Brothers, and Buddy Guy, just to name a few.

This year’s lineup marks a shift for Bonnaroo from the jam bands they were known for towards more mainstream and indie rock acts. “From the beginning we’ve always tried to reflect people’s music collections,” said Jonathan Mayers, president of Superfly Presents, co-promoters with A.C. Entertainment.

“People have diverse musical tastes and that’s what we’re trying to showcase with our programing. While we’re not trying to get too far away from our core, Bonnaroo has been a great platform to introduce different music to our fans.”

Mayers added that more bands would be announced as the event draws closer. Meanwhile, fans will be able to snag tickets beginning Saturday, Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. EST through Bonaroo.com.
