Bonnaroo, the epic summer concert event is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary this year and if their recently released musical lineup tells us anything, it’s that 2011 is going to be the biggest year yet. We’re esteemed veterans of Bonnaroo (if you missed our coverage of last year’s show for Guitar Player magazine, check it out here). We’ve been on the mountain high. We’ve stood beneath the thunderclouds, found salvation in the mud; received the Roo’s bountiful musical goodness, and we’re here to proclaim to all you non-believers these 10 Bonnaroo Commandments:
