The hippie jokes are gonna be just a little more original this year! Bonnaroo announces Chris Rock will do a one-hour set of material on the fest's main stage, likely tackling politics, in-case-shit, and dirty twirling kids for one of the largest audiences ever to assemble and be openly mocked to their faces. Too bad it won't be in the comedy tent, but that's gonna be plenty fun this year, anyway. It features Zach Galifianakis, Janeane Garofalo, Mike Birbiglia Jim Norton, Brian Posehn, and "Late Time Chat About": a nighttime live talk show featuring skits, guests, and houseband, hosted by David Cross. Stereogum's drinking game suggestion: Take a shot every time a comic mentions Jack Johnson. You will be wasted.
