The thing is, studying for the LSAT is like studying to the SAT. People do it, but it is kind of pointless. Taking either the day after Bonnaroo is probably a bad idea because it is not likely you head will be in it. But studying for it is unlikely to make a huge difference.
To the OP, you are acting as if the LSAT being one day after the festival means you must choose one or the other. Absolutely not the case.
I am retaking the LSAT in June, and I am elated that the test is a day after Bonnaroo.
On the days leading up to the December test, I was sooooooooooooooo stressed out I couldn´t think straight. So, what did I do? I took PTs until my eyes bled. On test day, I scored a staggering 4 points below my worst-case scenario, 7 points below my previous low, and 11 below my average. It was a comedy of errors - my poor performance cannot just attributed to burn-out, but will I benefit from having Bonnaroo distract me from the LSAT for several days? Absolutely.
I will probably leave Saturday night (Sundays are always difficult anyway), which I admit is kind of a must. One day of Bonnaroo recovery is vital.
My advice is just to fancy the idea of doing both. Taking the June LSAT can be a huge advantage, especially if you´re finding that you are scoring above the 90th percentile. Applying early will give you an advantage to the top-tier schools.

Juggs is a stupid head about the LSAT. Don't take prep classes. They're worthless and a waste of money, but careful self-study can help you improve a bunch. If you want help with a study strategy PM me.
I'm about to go through this process too. It is best if you take the test in June and apply the minute applications are available. More spots in the classes are available and more scholarship money is available.
And yeah what Juggs said go either T14 or some place with lots of $$$.

Please, do not say "studying is a waste of time". Maybe it was to you, but that by no means that studying is a waste of time for everyone. It does depend on the person, but because there is a good possibility that it can help, it is worth it to everyone to study for it.

Trust me I would be very happy if I could do both. I wanted to take the test in Murfreesboro the day after Roo (even though I live in Jersey) but my parents are just not going to allow that. Who knows I may still do it anyway.

I improved about 15 points from my first practice LSAT to my practice test average right before the test. Granted most of that was in figuring those dirty logic games, but every point helps.

If you want to get into a top 20 school either delay the LSAT (Sounds like you should prep anyways) or pass on Roo.
Can I get some lawyers numbers off here? might come in handy one day for me!
Ever the opportunist.
hell no I travel and these cats are spread out all over! Imagine being a member of the board and picking up your phone and hearing "This is Lono I miiiiiiiiiigggggghht have some work for you" you would at least be fully entertained for the duration in which the story that caused that phone call came about. For instance " I have this client that is claiming that I am brainwashing them in my Sensory Deprivation Tank" would that fall under medical malpractice or crimes against humanity violation of the Geneva Convention type law?" If so can I move for a change of venue to The Hague it is in the Netherlands and I feel would be more useful in rehabilitation towards becoming a productive member of "society". Work release in Amsterdam I could reform by becoming a Barista!
