We've said it before and we'll say it again: we love it when music and comedy come together.

The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is quickly becoming one of the hottest summer events in the country, featuring top acts as well as the coolest up-and-comers in music, comedy and more.

While the comedy lineup has yet to be announced, Bonnaroo just unveiled the music lineup for the 2011 festival, introduced by none other than Conan O'Brien.

And just who is headlining this auspicious event? Oh, just a few bands you may or may not have heard of: Album of the Year winners and the subject of whoisarcadefire.tumblr.com, Arcade Fire, as well as Eminem, Neil Young, The Black Keys, Iron & Wine, and more.

You can buy your tickets here, and see below for Conan's announcement.

Conan's show so far is much better than the show he did on NBC. Very funny guy. Only complaint I have with him, and it is minor, I don't like the jumping up and down at the beginning of his monologue. It makes him look uncomfortable and nervous--well, maybe he is and that is his charm.

Man, I was at the first Bonnaroo in 2002, then again in 2003, 2005 and 2009. It hasn't been better than that first couple of years. Although, there are a lot more acts now, there are just so many obnoxious teenagers. I felt really old the last time I went, and I was 26!

It's good to see Neil Young on the lineup. The set he did with Crazyhorse in 2008 was one of my best live music experiences yet. Hopefully this festival gets to where it used to be.

Keeps the corporate crap in Centeroo and let's get Shakedown Street back to what it used to be!

Hate to say it. I was at the first also.. Excellent time that will NEVER be had again. While some good bands are playing, this is yet again a media / corporate fest. Too bad the concept is ruined. Anyway, there are some other summertime festival options that are still low key.

BTW.. looking for some funk on the west cost. 33 shows, all small venues.
