Today sees the launch of Bonnaroo 365 on Bonnaroo.com, a program by which fans can relive the festival experience year round. Throughout the year, select performers from Bonnaroo 2008 will be streaming at no charge for fans worldwide to see for the first time or for those who were at the Manchester, Tennessee festival to re-live. All performance footage will be taken directly from the festival’s exclusive master tapes while the audio will be remixed from the festival’s pristine soundboard recordings.

The debut installment of the program launches today with The Raconteurs, whose furious and blistering Friday afternoon set is viewed as among the best of the 2008 event. Four of the songs will be available as free audio downloads – one will be available to everyone, while the other three can be downloaded by Bonnaroo Community members only (membership sign-up is free). The songs that will be available are: “Consoler Of The Lonely”, “Old Enough”, “Blue Veins” and “Top Yourself”. To coincide with the launch, select radio stations across the country will broadcast the entire set on Sunday, January 11th 2009. A set list and full list of stations is below.
