Bonnaroo 2013 Lineup: Paul McCartney, Mumford & Sons, Tom Petty Headlining
FEBRUARY 19, 2013


Paul McCartney will take center stage at this year's Bonnaroo festival, which will invade Manchester, Tenn. from June 13-16. Macca, Mumford & Sons and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers lead this year's lineup, announced on Tuesday (Feb. 19).

The annual four-day music festival will be home to a rare U.S. festival appearance for McCartney, who headlined Coachella in 2009. Last year, the 70-year-old released a collection of standards, "Kisses on the Bottom," and performed with the remaining members of Nirvana at 12-12-12: The Concert For Sandy Relief as well as on "Saturday Night Live."

Meanwhile, Mumford & Sons are coming off of an album of the year win at the Grammy Awards: "Babel," their sophomore album which scored a massive debut upon its release last September, walked away with the top prize at the ceremony earlier this month. The Mumfords last played Bonnaroo in 2011, where the folk-rock group performed to a massive crowd on the second-biggest stage.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers round out the headliners for the 2013 fest, seven years after leading the 2006 lineup. The legendary rock group was also announced as the HEADLINER OF THE 2013 FIREFLY MUSIC FESTIVAL, which will take place one weekend after Bonnaroo at Delaware's Dover International Speedway.

Below the headliners, Bonnaroo 2013 sports one of its deepest lineups in its history: Bjork, Wilco, Pretty Lights, R. Kelly and Wu-Tang Clan comprise a diverse group of artists likely hitting the main stage, while Daniel Tosh will lead the Comedy Tent lineup. "Ho Hey" stars the Lumineers, rap wunderkind Kendrick Lamar, veteran rockers ZZ Top and Hot 100 champs Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are also on the bill, and this year's "Superjam" will feature My Morning Jacket's Jim James with John Oates, Zigaboo Modeliste, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and more special guests.

The Bonnaroo 2013 lineup was announced during a special, highly wacky media event on Tuesday, in which "Weird Al" Yankovic (who is also performing in Manchester this year) hosted a web-friendly telethon, streamed live on YouTube. Portugal. The Man, also on this year's lineup, delivered a special performance, while Eugene Mirman and Mike Brbiglia were among those manning phone banks.

Last year's Bonnaroo lineup was topped by Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Phish, and served as the location of D'Angelo's first U.S. performance in over a decade when the reclusive R&B star joined the Roots' Questlove onstage for last year's Superjam. Tickets for this year's festival go on sale this Saturday (Feb. 23) at noon ET.

Robert Freeman: Beatles for Sale

Robert Freeman: Beatles for Sale
14th February to 16th March 2013

A selling exhibition of classic work by Robert Freeman, the photographer behind the camera on five early Fab Four album covers.

Robert Freeman's work is well know to all Beatles fans - because his photographs appeared on five of their early sleeves; With The Beatles; A Hard Day's Night; Beatles for Sale; Help and, perhaps his classic, Rubber Soul. That's some CV.

There has been much discussion in the last month on Beatles fan sites over a previously unseen colour photograph from the Rubber Soul sessions, and we look at it in some detail here. Rubber Soul will of course feature in the gallery exhibition, and we are delighted to be showing an ultra large format sepia toned version of the classic cover image, measuring 37 x 39 inches when framed, and one of only two examples ever made by Robert Freeman in that size.

Come along and check out this and other classic early Beatles images by Robert Freeman at the gallery, or view them online.

It’s a little different to our usual exhibitions because Robert Freeman no longer makes prints, editions are almost sold out, and so for many of the photographs we have just one example for sale.

Yoko Ono 80 - Birthday Song by Martha & Rufus Wainwright

Yoko Ono turns 80 with no thought to slowing down
MENAFN

Feb 16, 2013 (Menafn - The Philadelphia Inquirer - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --On Monday, Yoko Ono, a collaborator with everyone from John Cage to John Lennon to Dirty Loud, will turn 80. She'll be a rocktogenarian. They say it's her birthday. Happy birthday to her.

Artist, poet, musician, philanthropist, activist, performance/conceptual art pioneer, Ono is now a world-beating disco diva, having enjoyed nine consecutive No. 1 hits on the Billboard Dance charts. She's become a favorite artist for the mashup/remix DJs of the moment.

"I say I'm a lucky girl," Ono says by e-mail.

An explosion of Ono-related activity greets her 80th. There's a bunch of books. Of her own work, there's the lovely Yoko Ono: An Invisible Flower, of drawings and one-line poems, and The Infinite Universe at Dawn. And Yoko Ono: Collector of Skies, by Nell Beram and Carolyn Boriss-Krimsky.

There are art retrospectives around the world, including Half-A-Wind Show, which opened Friday at the Schirn Kuntshalle in Frankfurt, Germany, from which it will tour the world.

All of her albums will be reissued this year. A new one's in the works with her floating orchestra, the Plastic Ono Band.

The indie band tUnE-yArDs has released a 10-inch single with a new version of her 1972 rocker "We're All Water" and a remix of her 1973 tune "Warrior Woman." It's to benefit the Rockaway Waterfront Alliance, which funnels aid to the region hit by Hurricane Sandy.

Many musicians of the last 40 years look to Yoko Ono as a pioneer and idol. She is widely revered by punk rockers as one of the first to do real punk. New Wavers see her as a mom to the movement.

She has cowritten and released a new dance tune, "Hold Me," with DJ Dave Aude, with remixes by Dirty Loud, Emjae, Tommie Sunshine, and R3hab. Lady Gaga's a Yoko Ono scholar, as are RZA and Polyphonic Spree.

Sandy. Fracking. Peace. The Beatles. Punk. Disco. Even to her, it must seem surreal sometimes.

"I wandered into doing music with the most prominent musicians in avant-garde, jazz, rock in history, and now this," she writes.

Her first husband, Toshi Ichiyanagi, was an avant-garde composer. Together, they performed with John Cage. Her friend Ornette Coleman helped invent free jazz. She brought to John Lennon's music things she'd been up to for decades already.

As for the music of 2013, she likes the creativity and sonic iconoclasm of the mash-up generation.

"I think the producers in the dance world are the stars now. They bring over 10 thousand music lovers to the festivals, whenever they decide to do one. That's because their field of music is creating a revolution in music. I respect them and love the field."

She and the planet have seen many revolutions since her birth in 1933 in Tokyo. Her father was an international banker, and the family moved frequently, to San Francisco in 1935, back to Japan in 1937, to New York in 1940, back to Japan in 1941.

Twelve-year-old Ono huddled in a shelter during the March 9, 1945, firebombing of Tokyo (though in a distant neighborhood). Her family saw hard times for a few years, but by the early 1950s, they had moved to New York, and Ono was at Sarah Lawrence College, where she excelled at music theory and sight-singing.

Ono was a regular at the bohemian/Beat gatherings and loft concerts of the 1950s, forerunners of the "happenings" of the 1960s. Her 1969 Bed-Ins with Lennon, protesting the Vietnam War, were but one stop in a lifelong activism for peace. Her Imagine Peace Tower, a column of skyward searchlights on Viey Island near Reykjavik, Iceland, will light up Monday for her birthday. On her Twitter account, Ono encourages people to tweet the Tower (@IPTower) with good thoughts.

She and son Sean Lennon launched Artists Against Fracking in July. They and actress Susan Sarandon did a protest tour last month of Pennsylvania fracking sites such as Franklin Forks.

You have to ask: Where does she get the energy?

"When you are in love," Ono says, "when you are crazy about something and doing it because of that, there is no scheduling challenge, and it is never a burden. . . . I get the energy from loving what I do."

Could anybody really write her biography? "I don't think it is that necessary to have a biography of me," she says. "One will never be able to check the whole of me. Even I couldn't."
