Superfly Presents and A.C. Entertainment are excited to announce the “Bonnaroo365 Tour Presented By Samsonite”. The tour is confirmed to begin at the Granada Theater in Lawrence, KS, on October 24th and play intimate venues in college markets across the country. Bonnaroo has historically been the launching pad for such popular artists as Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, Robert Randolph, My Morning Jacket, Ray Lamontagne, Matisyahu, and many others. It is also recognized as the place to see bands that are on the verge of breaking, such as Phoenix, The National and Temper Trap, to name a few. Taking a page from Bonnaroo’s programming formula, the Bonnaroo365 Tour Presented By Samsonite will feature emerging bands, including White Denim and Maps & Atlases, plus special guests. Tickets for the tour are on sale now.
“One of the most gratifying parts of Bonnaroo is knowing that we were part of a band’s early success and able to help nurture them in their development stages,” said Superfly’s Rick Farman. “We want the Bonnaroo365 Tour to underscore this part of the festival and to hopefully give emerging artists yet another platform from which to grow their careers.”

About Bonnaroo:
Set on 700 acres in Manchester, TN, Bonnaroo is a four-day festival that draws 80,000 fans every summer. Featuring over 120 musical performances, along with comedy, cinema, sustainability workshops and more, the grounds are converted into a virtual city of music and art. The legendary event began in 2002 as a remarkable idea to serve a passionate fanbase, and ended up becoming the premier multi-day concert destination of the summer which dynamic and eclectic programming paved the way for the age of the great American music festival. Bonnaroo has now evolved into becoming much more than just a concert destination; it has become a cultural touchstone and, for two generations of music fans, a rite of passage. Each year, the lineup cements Bonnaroo as a force in music discovery, exposing its fans to legendary artists, current favorites, as well as breaking acts.
