anniversary, the site will renew its commitment to becoming the online
destination for exclusive webcasts of this year's hottest shows, giving
fans who can't be there the opportunity to see memorable performances
in real time and at no charge. The 2006 season kicked off with a

which drew hundreds of thousands of unique visitors over the two-day
event.
This weekend, June 16-18, the AT&T Blue Room will feature exclusive

Claypool, Nickel Creek, My Morning Jacket, Andrew Bird, Dungen, Deadboy
& the Elephantmen, and The Codetalkers featuring Col. Bruce Hampton.
Webcasts will run from 12:30 p.m. to midnight each day. Following the
event, much of the content will be archived on the Blue Room (
http://blueroom.att.com/ ) allowing fans to relive the festival
experience. Additionally, fans can log on and listen to Blue Room
radio, a 24-hour streaming station featuring interviews and
performances with past and present Bonnaroo artists.
