   LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Dave Matthews Band and bluegrass combo   
   Alison Krauss + Union Station will make their first appearances at the   
   fourth annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, set to take place south   
   of Nashville on June 10-12, organizers said on Wednesday.   
      
   Also making their Bonnaroo debuts are rock bands Modest Mouse and the   
   Mars Volta, and young British soul singer Joss Stone.   
      
   Acts returning to Bonnaroo include Widespread Panic, the Allman Brothers   
   Band, Jack Johnson, Gov't Mule, Yonder Mountain String Band, STS9,   
   Keller Williams, and Bela Fleck. In all, Bonnaroo will feature more than   
   60 artists, with further announcements due in coming weeks, a statement   
   said.   
      
   As with previous sold-out editions, Bonnaroo will host 90,000 fans on a   
   700-acre rural site in Manchester, TN., about 60 miles south of   
   Nashville. Last year's event, featuring the Dead, Dave Matthews and   
   Friends, Trey Anastasio  and Bob Dylan, was the second-highest-grossing   
   concert of 2004 with sales of $14.5 million, according to Billboard   
   magazine.   
      
   Tickets go on sale Saturday through http://www.bonnaroo.com.
