Bonnaroo had many cancellations and reschedules by artists both before and during the event. Cancellations included [[Black Kids]], who appeared on the initial line-up but were later removed. Two months prior, due to health issues, [[The Allman Brothers Band]] cancelled their slot at the festival. Their cancellation led to the replacement band [[Widespread Panic]] being announced as the festival closer.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web |url=http://www.bonnaroo.com/news/2008/04/14/allman-brothers-cancel.aspx |title=News | Bonnaroo 2015 |publisher=Bonnaroo.com |accessdate=19 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150219212640/http://www.bonnaroo.com/news/2008/04/14/allman-brothers-cancel.aspx |archive-date=February 19, 2015 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Due to a schedule conflict, [[David Cross]] also had to cancel his appearance and was replaced by [[Louis C.K.]] in the Bonnaroo Comedy Theatre.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> |

The surprise SuperJam was composed of [[Les Claypool]] on bass/vocals, Eugene Hutz (guitar/vocals), Sergei Ryabtsev (violin), Oren Kaplan (guitar), and Yuri Lemeshev (accordion) of [[Gogol Bordello]], and Claypool's touring drummer (and [[Cake (band)|Cake]] member) Paulo Baldi on drums. They were later joined by [[Kirk Hammett]] of [[Metallica]] on guitar for three numbers. Hammett was introduced by Claypool as "some guy that used to sell me weed back in high school." The set consisted of eleven [[Tom Waits]] covers ("Russian Dance" was performed twice, the second time as an encore), along with a single Claypool song, "D's Diner". |

*[[Kanye West]]'s Saturday night set, after being moved back and forth between stages by Bonnaroo promoters, was settled on the main stage, but not before the prima donna kicked and screamed to the powers that be to stop any other performances that might conflict with his set. This lead to one of the most insulting actions conceived by Promowest Live (courtesy of Mr. West) by forcing legendary Grateful Dead member Phil Lesh's show to be cut short. Lesh, who is arguably one of the most significant reasons Bonnaroo exists and is so successful, was noticeably devastated and insulted when he broke the news to the crowd that he was being told to stop the show for something out of his control. Mr. West was on time to get his bath in albino virgin's blood and sniff the freshest of farts from a one-legged Nepalese Sherpa, but due to West being the most important man in the history of the human experience, he felt the crowd didn't deserve to see him until his AIDS-spit enema was run through to completion for a second time. Can't be shartin' while the beats are droppin'. The show started at 4:00am as a result, and was as enjoyable as being woke up by getting lightly slapped on the upper lip with a soggy turd..<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.spin.com/articles/kanye-wests-bonnaroo-debacle |title=Kanye West's Bonnaroo Debacle | SPIN | Music News |publisher=SPIN |date=2008-06-15 |accessdate=2015-02-19}}</ref> |

[[Kanye West]]'s Saturday night set, having been moved back and forth between stages by Bonnaroo promoters, eventually ran on the main stage. West was not on time due to a scheduling conflict. This, in addition to [[Pearl Jam]] playing over an hour longer than scheduled and taking a long time to remove their equipment, and the complex stage set-up for West's performance, meant the show started at 5:00 am.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/2008/06/kanye-wests-bonnaroo-debacle/ |title=Kanye West's Bonnaroo Debacle | Music News |work=Spin|date=June 15, 2008 |accessdate=19 February 2015}}</ref> |

The 2008 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival was held June 12–15. Aside from the festival's opening year (2002), attendance at the 2008 event, at approximately 70,000, was the smallest in Bonnaroo's history.
Cancellations and rescheduling
[edit]Bonnaroo had many cancellations and reschedules by artists both before and during the event. Cancellations included Black Kids, who appeared on the initial line-up but were later removed. Two months prior, due to health issues, The Allman Brothers Band cancelled their slot at the festival. Their cancellation led to the replacement band Widespread Panic being announced as the festival closer.[1] Due to a schedule conflict, David Cross also had to cancel his appearance and was replaced by Louis C.K. in the Bonnaroo Comedy Theatre.[1]
During the festival
[edit]The surprise SuperJam was composed of Les Claypool on bass/vocals, Eugene Hutz (guitar/vocals), Sergei Ryabtsev (violin), Oren Kaplan (guitar), and Yuri Lemeshev (accordion) of Gogol Bordello, and Claypool's touring drummer (and Cake member) Paulo Baldi on drums. They were later joined by Kirk Hammett of Metallica on guitar for three numbers. Hammett was introduced by Claypool as "some guy that used to sell me weed back in high school." The set consisted of eleven Tom Waits covers ("Russian Dance" was performed twice, the second time as an encore), along with a single Claypool song, "D's Diner".
Chris Rock's main stage set was billed as being "one of the largest ever for a comedy show".[2]
Kidz Jam, a non-profit organization out of Dayton, Ohio provided free entertainment, water, earplugs and safety information for the families which attended Bonnaroo in 2008.
Kanye West's Saturday night set, having been moved back and forth between stages by Bonnaroo promoters, eventually ran on the main stage. West was not on time due to a scheduling conflict. This, in addition to Pearl Jam playing over an hour longer than scheduled and taking a long time to remove their equipment, and the complex stage set-up for West's performance, meant the show started at 5:00 am.[3]
