Skrillex, the Strokes, GRiZ, Turnstile, Rüfüs Du Sol, Teddy Swims, the Neighbourhood, Noah Kahan, Role Model and Kesha will headline next year’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, on the heels of a disastrous rain cancellation at this year’s event. Weather-related upgrades will be in place when the fest returns to its longtime home in Manchester, Tn., on June 11-14.
Bonnaroo will also feature Four Tet, Vince Staples, Major Lazer, Geese, Blood Orange, Wet Leg, Alabama Shakes, Amyl & the Sniffers, Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist, Clipse, Modest Mouse, Japanese Breakfast, Del Water Gap and Boys Noize. Kesha will oversee the yearly Superjam, while “Weird Al” Yankovic has been drafted for a late-night Saturday set titled “Bigger & Weirder Saturday Late Night Roovue.” Tickets go on sale Friday (Dec. 5).
After numerous weather-related issues in recent years, organizers have pledged to improve drainage around the 700-acre Bonnaroo farm, while also installing 135 acres of new turf and miles of new roadways. The festival’s radio station, Bonnaroo Radio, will also return to the air in 2026.
Fans were given the opportunity to weigh in on Bonnaroo’s future through a survey sent out shortly following this year’s cancellation, with organizers querying everything from when and where the event is held to its ongoing musical direction.
