The traditional event in the United States has been interrupted more than once in recent years due to climatic problems
After the cancellation of the Bonnaroo From 2025 years old due to heavy rains that flooded the headquarters of the event, the organizers warned that “they would not have announced future dates”, who asked the future of one of the most popular music festivals in the world.
However, the Bonnaroo It will return to the Tennessee, in the United States, in June 2026. For this reason, some changes were made.
“We took your comments seriously in recent weeks as we planned and talked about what is coming to the Festival,” the organizers said in a declaration of 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 11-14 June 2026 – it occurs without cancellations, it is removing the most inclined campsites, which, in turn, will translate a reduced capacity on the farm (more space to dance) “, said the organizers. To reduce the multitude of visitors of the festival, which are often blocked in long lines upon arrival, the entrance to the campsites will now also begin on Wednesday instead of Thursday, as usual.
THE Bonnaroo It was also canceled in 2021, since the climatic problems deriving from the Hurricane of the Aid formed the organizers to consult “the drainage and management specialists to improve the conditions of the farm in case of heavy and constant rain”. Although the works of this multimillionary project have started, they were not completed before this year’s festival, which was marked by the rain.
“In the 2025/2026 season out of season, we will allocate an additional multimillionary budget and we will begin improvements that will prioritize the fields and other areas affected by the extreme climate of 2025”, promised the organizers. “Some of these projects will include the replanting of the property, the continuation of the expansion of the access roads to the fields, the addition of more drainage and the reinforcement of the main routes of the water flow.”
While the organizers discussed the change at the beginning of the Festival to avoid the extreme mood of the season, after consulting the climate experts, they finally decided that “our traditional period of June remains the most ideal period of the year for the year Bonnaroo“.
When the Festival returns in 2026, “He will start on Thursday evening on What With A Epic Welcome Party” to celebrate your return to the farm.
