The 2025 Bonnaroo festival is a washout. The long-running event in Manchester, Tn., outside Nashville canceled the final three days of its programming as severe weather began creating unsafe conditions on site.
Bonnaroo was to feature such headliners as Tyler, the Creator, Hozier, Luke Combs and Olivia Rodrigo, plus a loaded undercard including King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, John Summit, Dom Dolla, Avril Lavigne, Glass Animals, Vampire Weekend, Justice, Queens of the Stone Age, Goose and Modest Mouse.

“We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo,” organizers said. See their full statement below:
Today, the National Weather Service provided us with an updated forecast with significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days. We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo.
We are going to make things right with you, and you will find refund information at the end of this message, but let’s start with the next steps. The number one thing we need from the Bonnaroo community is patience. Some of your fellow campers’ sites are in rough shape. The rain has settled in areas and made certain parts of Outeroo difficult to manage. We’d like to prioritize getting those folks as well as those with accessibility needs off the Farm as soon as possible this evening.
To do this, we ask that if your campsite is in good shape or if you’re in an RV or pre-pitched accommodation, please consider spending the night with us and we’ll start working to get you out of here safely tomorrow.
We will continue to operate as usual in Outeroo including food vendors and all health and safety infrastructure. We have put our hearts and souls into making this weekend the most special one of the year, and cannot express how crushed we are to have to make this decision. Thank you in advance for your patience, your positivity and your unfailing Bonnaroovian spirit.
