Bonaroo Just Replaced Mumford and Sons with Jack Johnson

It can be done Planet Bluegrass. Let’s get a headlining act to replace a headlining act.

UPDATE 6/14 6:15 a.m. PT]: Bonnaroo organizers have announced that Jack Johnson will headline Saturday night in Mumford & Sons’ place. Johnson also sat in with ALO last night.

Here’s Jack Johnson’s statement:

I was on my way to Bonnaroo to sit in on a set with my friends ALO last night when we got the call asking if I could possibly help out and cover for Mumford and Sons. I heard the news about Ted Dwane and was happy to know that he was on his way to recovery. I called my band and asked if they were up for it. Long story short – they are headed this way. I’ve got a lot of lyrics and chords to relearn by Saturday night. I was here to play the first Bonnaroo and it is a very special festival to my band. We are excited to hit the stage again. Get well Ted!

Aloha,

Jack

So you CAN replace meh with meh. I did not know that. :festival
