Live Festival Music: Watch Bonnaroo's Final Day; Download Sasquatch Sets


Bonnaroo 2011 draws to a close today, but the good news is that you can watch live sets online from the final day (and night), with continuous music from different stages. From the other side of the U.S., There are also podcasts of live sets from Memorial Day weekend's Sasquatch festival that you can download from NPR Music (yeah, I'm a couple of weeks late to posting this, but there are plenty of good sets posted online, and they're still available).

First up, the live webcast schedule for today's Bonnaroo finale:
  • 4 - 4:30 p.m. ET - Bootsy Collins
  • 4:30 - 5:15 - Chiddy Bang
  • 5:15 - 6 - Galactic
  • 6 - 7:15 - Cold War Kids
  • 7:15 - 7:45 - Warren Haynes Band
  • 7:45 - 9:15 - The Strokes
  • 9:15 - 9:45 - Explosions in the Sky
  • 9:45 - 12:15 - Widespread Panic
About 40 live sets from Sasquatch 2011 are available for streaming (and many for download too, it seems). Among the ones I'll be checking out in this abundance of live music are the sets by:
  • Bob Mould
  • The Thermals
  • Death Cab for Cutie
  • Death from Above 1979
  • Guided by Voices
  • Foo Fighters
  • Basia Bulat
  • Flogging Molly
  • The Flaming Lips
  • Wye Oak
  • Deerhunter
  • Rodrigo y Gabriela
  • Rebecca Gates
  • Sharon Van Etten
  • The Head and the Heart 
Happy listening!
