2008’s Bacchanal has been announced and a (mostly) complete schedule has been released. In addition to performances by Grizzly Bear and The National, this year’s festivities will include stand-up comedy by Greg Giraldo, an outdoor screening of Planet Earth on the Low steps for which absolutely no one will arrive stoned, and a Hawaiian Luau.
If you couldn’t tell from the indie rock, Hawaiian luau and stand-up comedy, this year’s theme is “Bacchanaliens.” “Fun has landed,” proclaims Bacchanal’s flyer; without an article, without a doubt.
UPDATE 8:04 PM: The outdoor screening of Planet Earth is on 4/20. Best. Bacchanal. Ever. (Thanks commenter no. 5!)
