It became a confusing morning when the lineup for 2008's Bonnaroo Music Festival was announced.

It seems that some sources read the inclusion of NYC tribute band Lez Zeppelin as a second reunion show for Led Zeppelin. Wrong. While Robert Plant is confirmed to be playing with Alison Krauss at the festival, now in its seventh year, his band will not blow minds in the Manchester, Tenn. farm fields come June.

However, handling headlining duties will be rock monsters Metallica and Pearl Jam, as well as Kanye West. Other confirmed acts include Jack Johnson, My Morning Jacket, Willie Nelson, Sigur Ros, the Raconteurs, Against Me!, Death Cab for Cutie, B.B. King and Phil Lesh and Friends. More than 100 bands are expected to play the three-day festival, which will take place June 13-15. Read the full story.

Wilco guitarist Nels Cline's been getting a lot of the credit for the otherworldly noises on the band's latest album, 'Sky Blue Sky.' But some of the phenomenal guitarist's secrets are a bit closer to home.

When Spinner asked Cline at Bonnaroo how he makes the dissonant scraping sounds on live versions of songs like 'Spiders (Kidsmoke),' he suggested buying an inch-thick screw to play as a slide. Does he buy it from guitar center? "Ace Hardware," he says.

Jeff Tweedy may not like the Eagles, but he loves the Cubs ... or the Sox. The Wilco frontman and Illinois native took some swings of his own backstage at Bonnaroo in the MLB Authentic Collection batting cages. If the picture doesn't say enough, check out Rolling Stone's video footage.

The Cold War Kids tackled Sam Cooke's 'A Change Is Gonna Come' at Bonnaroo -- a strange choice on the surface, but one that drummer Matt Aviero tells Spinner was a no-brainer. "Nate's one of the few singers in a rock band that could tackle that," he says of frontman Nathan Willet.

Later this summer, the band are scheduled to play Lollapalooza, as well as open for the White Stripes and Muse. But Aviero says that though he's excited for both events, he's equally excited about spending some time back home in L.A.

In one of the most anticipated Bonnaroo performances, the White Stripes took the stage with cool confidence on the festival's last night with the opening chords of 'Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground.' The minimalist duo of Jack and Meg White ripped through a set of old and new, including songs 'I Think I Smell a Rat,' 'Blue Orchid' and the title track from the band's new album, 'Icky Thump.' "I got word that someone here wanted to ask the person next to him to marry them during this set," Jack said from the crimson colored stage. "That person knows who he is. The next song's called 'A Martyr of My Love for You.'"

Wilco, a band known to insert dissonant jams inside heartbreakingly beautiful songs, got in the Bonnaroo mode early on several levels during their Day Four performance, offering up atmospherically appropriate tunes like 'Handshake Drugs' and 'Shot in the Arm,' among others. Jeff Tweedy and Co. didn't just stick to the familiar, taking new songs including 'Impossible Germany' -- off their latest album 'Sky Blue Sky' -- to the outer limits of sonic space.

Jazz legend Ornette Coleman suffered a medical emergency during his performance on the last night of Bonnaroo in the 'Something Else' Jazz Tent. Midway through a song, the innovative alto saxophonist collapsed on stage. According to his publicist, the incident is believed to be caused by heat exhaustion. Following the collapse, Coleman was alert alert and speaking, telling folks backstage that he wasn't suffering any symptoms prior to his performance. However, Coleman has been taken to a local hospital in Tennessee's Coffee County for further treatment.

Wolfmother delivered an appropriately blistering afternoon set on Day Four of Bonnaroo in the Tennessee heat. "This has got to be the greatest hippie festival in the world," frontman Andrew Stockdale said before launching into the hippie-friendly tune 'White Unicorn,' where psychedelic lyrics are set against the Australian band's heavy, '70s prog rock. Complying with unofficial but widely recognized Bonnaroo rules, they jammed it out for the massive, unshaded crowd.

The Flaming Lips didn't start this year's Bonnaroo experience quite as planned. The band suffered a slight schedule delay after problems with the building of their spacecraft arised. Frontman Wayne Coyne stayed up from 1 am until 8 am restoring the contraption -- just in time for some extraterrestrial Day Three rocking. And that they did.

After emerging from his now famous space bubble, Coyne and his fellow Lips launched into 'Race for the Prize.' The frontman said that the band's last Bonnaroo was one of the best shows they've ever played, but that this year had only now officially begun and folks should stay "because we have some cool s*** planned." They then ripped into 'Fight Plan.'

The one moment that every person at Bonnaroo gathered in the same place for the same band was that of the Police. The recently reunited veteran rockers took the stage with authority, opening with 'Message in a Bottle.' Despite previous reports and his own self-criticism, drummer Steward Copeland's opening gong hit was spot on, turning arena rock into literal farm rock on Day Three in rural Tennessee. The band didn't turn their 'Roo set into the jam fest that Copeland partook in last year as part of another power trio, Oysterhead, with Trey Anastasio and Les Claypool. Instead, the Police ran through their greatest hits package, only suffering the occasional flub. But the celebratory crowd didn't mind, opting to toss glow sticks, dance and sing along. Sting encouraged the audience, saying that he wanted to hear "all 80,000 Tennesseans."

Franz Ferdinand apologized for keeping the audience waiting after taking the stage only five minutes late for their Day Three set. The polite Scottish rockers launched into their Bonnaroo debut with 'Jaqueline,' as the evening sun finally cooled down. Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos told the crowd that it was the band's first time in Tennessee, and they were appreciative of the warm welcome even though the day must've been "rough out there." The band ripped into their breakthrough hit, 'Take Me Out,' which prompted countless bikini-clad girls to bounce along.

John Paul Jones has become this Bonnaroo's Les Claypool -- the musician you can't help but see. After jamming bluegrass troupe Uncle Earl on Day Two, as well as Ben Harper and the Roots' ?uestlove during last night's SuperJam, the producer and former Led Zeppelin bassist reteamed with Harper for the latter's Day Three set. The two, accompanied by Harper's full band, tackled Zep's 'Dazed and Confused,' pushing the song to its spacey limits.

Hippies and hipsters continued to intermingle and break down party lines on Day Three at Bonnaroo as the Hold Steady took the stage at 4:20, dude, opening up with 'Stuck Between Stations.' "We weren't sure what to expect," frontman Craig Finn said just two songs into their set, joking that he saw a lot of fists in the air "for a bunch of hippies." The band continued to play to the crowd, introducing 'Hot Soft Light' as "a song about getting busted." Dr. Dog, Aziz Ansari and drummer Joe Russo held steady in the wing.

The comedians continued to take the spotlight -- or at least some of it -- from the bands at Bonnaroo on Day Three. Audiences waited in a line for hours to get into the comedy tent to see Dave Attell and Dov Davidoff, both of whom hung out in the artist louge last night, partying with Manhattan hipster rockers Sam Champion. "It's so hot I feel like c***ing on my own face," joked Attell, who poked fun at Ben Harper, pot and alcoholics -- all of which were present and accounted for at this year's festival.

At the end of a raucous set on Day Three of Bonnaroo, Gogol Bordello's Eugene Hutz gave new meaning to the phrase crowd surfing. While Medeski, Martin and Wood's Billy Martin and a pair of stilted women looked on, Hutz threw himself atop a drum head and stood on it while the audience gave it a good push across the crowd.
