Police drummer Stewart Copeland will be playing the event with Oysterhead, his supergroup with Phish frontman Trey Anastasio and Primus singer/bassist Les Claypool, which will be one of the headlining acts on Saturday, June 13.

Also, Talking Heads keyboardist Jerry Harrison will team up with his old band’s one-time touring guitarist, Adrian Belew, and the eclectic Brooklyn, New York-based group Turkuaz to perform a set celebrating the 40th anniversary of Talking Heads’ Remain in Light album on Friday, June 12.

Among the other 2020 Bonnaroo headliners are Tool, Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, Tame Impala, Lana Del Rey and Vampire Weekend. The fest’s lineup also includes Tenacious D, Primus, Grace Potter, acclaimed jazz guitarist Bill Frisell and many more.

Tickets go on sale this Thursday, January 9, at noon ET. For the full lineup and all ticket info, visit Bonnaroo.com.

Oysterhead and Harrison, Belew and Turkuaz also will both be playing the 2020 Peach Music Festival in early July in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
