MINNEAPOLIS — Three of Minnesota's most-ascendant music acts are listed mid-tier on the lineup for the 2023 Bonnaroo festival, revealed Tuesday with the Foo Fighters, Kendrick Lamar and Odesza as headliners.
East Metro pop/rock quintet Hippo Campus, good-time-y Rochester rapper Yung Gravy and funky Shoreview guitar guru Cory Wong all made the cut for what's usually America's biggest music festival, scheduled June 15-18 in Manchester, Tennessee.
Both Hippo Campus and Yung Gravy sold out the 6,500-8,000-person Armory in Minneapolis last year, a good indicator of how much their drawing power as touring artists rose following the industry-shuttering COVID-19 pandemic. Each act also sold out comparable-sized venues in many other cities last year, and Hippo Campus has announced its first headlining gig at Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver for May 2.
