Jack Antonoff headlined this year’s Bonnaroo Superjam and he chose to dedicate the set to hit songs from the year he was born in 1984. Joining the celebration were Japanese Breakfast, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lauren Mayberry from Chvrches, Britt Daniel from Spoon and more. Michelle Zauner solo covered Nena’s “99 Luftballons” and Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton’s Bee Gee-written track “Islands In The Stream” with Antonoff. Jepsen released her cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” and debuted one of Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got To Do With It”. Mayberry showed up at the beginning of the set to do two Madonna tracks: “Like A Virgin” and “Material Girl”. Britt Daniel sang Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m Goin’ Down” and Echo & The Bunnymen’s “The Killing Moon”.
Other attendees included Goose’s Rick Mitarotonda, who covered Talk Talk and a-ha; Nicole Atkins, who directed the Smiths’ “What Difference Does It Make?”; Joy Oladokun, who covered Phil Collins’ Against All Odds; Claud, who opened the set with Van Halen’s “Jump”; and Blu DeTiger, who sang Prince’s “When Doves Cry.” Antonoff also did Dead Or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round” solo.
