LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Dave Matthews Band and bluegrass combo Alison Krauss + Union Station will make their first appearances at the fourth annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, set to take place south of Nashville on June 10-12, organizers said on Wednesday.

Chuck Berry Plays Sold Out Show in Prague
story.news.yahoo.com


PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Rock 'n' roll pioneer Chuck Berry (news) enjoyed a sold-out show in what was billed as his first appearance in the Czech capital.

"Czech me out," Berry told thousands of fans Sunday night in the Lucerna Palace in downtown Prague.

Berry charmed the crowd, which included President Vaclav Klaus, with his hits including "Maybellene" and "Johnny B. Goode" and glimpses of his famous duck walk.

"He may be 78, but what an entertainer," Klaus said after the concert.

Czech fans have waited a long time to see authentic rock 'n' roll stars such as Berry, whose music wasn't appreciated by the communist authorities before the 1989 Velvet Revolution.
