Traditional event in the United States has been interrupted more than once in recent years due to climate issues
After cancellation of the Bonnaroo Of 2025 year due to heavy rains that flooded the event venue, the organizers warned that “they would not announce future dates,” which has wondered the future of one of the world’s most popular music festivals.
However, the Bonnaroo will return to Tennessee, United States, in June 2026. For this, some changes have been made.
“We have taken your comments seriously in recent weeks as we planned and talked about what’s coming to the festival,” the organizers said in a statement on Thursday, 17. “And now, it’s time to share these plans with you.”
Among the changes to ensure that the Bonnaroo Next year – scheduled for June 11 to 14, 2026 – occurs without cancellations, is removing the more prone campsites, which, in turn, “will result in a reduced capacity on the farm (more space to dance),” said the organizers. To reduce the multitude of festival goers, who are often stuck in long lines upon arrival, the entrance to campsites will now also start on Wednesday instead of Thursday, as usual.
THE Bonnaroo It was also canceled in 2021, as climate problems arising from the IDA hurricane forced the organizers to consult “Earth Drainage and Management Specialists to improve the conditions on the farm in case of heavy and constant rain.” Although the works of this multimillionaire project started, they were not completed before this year’s festival, which was marked by rain.
“In the 2025/2026 off -season season, we will allocate a multimillionaire additional budget and start improvements that will prioritize camps and other areas affected by the extreme climate of 2025,” the organizers promised. “Some of these projects will include the replanting of the property, the continuation of the expansion of the access roads to the camps, the addition of more drainage and the reinforcement of the main water flow routes.”
While the organizers discussed the change in the start of the festival to avoid the extreme mood of the season, after consulting climate experts, they finally decided that “our traditional June period remains the most ideal time of the year for the year Bonnaroo“.
When the festival returns in 2026, “it will start on Thursday night on the What with an epic welcome party” to celebrate your return to the farm.
