Bonnaroo sets return after severe weather halted festival but fans call changes ‘insane’
US music festival to return on same dates in 2026 despite being rained off this year
- The Bonnaroo music festival is scheduled to return from 11 to 14 June next year, following its cancellation this year due to severe weather.
- This year's event, which commenced on 12 June, was halted the following day after significant delays and an evacuation notice.
- Organizers have announced several changes for the 2025 festival, including a reduced capacity by not utilizing flood-affected campsites and dedicating funding to campground improvements.
- A notable change involves the Thursday line-up, with the main 'What Stage' hosting a welcome party instead of a headliner, and other stages commencing programming from Friday.
- Fan reactions have been mixed, with many appreciating the reduced capacity but expressing disappointment over the altered Thursday schedule and its potential impact on smaller artists.
