There’s no way to sugarcoat it- this year’s Bonnaroo was a bust. Rained out after just one day, canceling the fest before it truly had a chance to get going (but after the majority of attendees had arrived), 2025 marked the second time weather has rained out ‘Roo, after 2021’s fest was canceled shortly before it was scheduled to start (and on the heels of pandemic related delays and cancelations in 2020). For all of the negativity in the aftermath of this outcome, it’s important to remember that the festival can’t control the weather (nor a global pandemic), and 2022-2024, as well as the many, many Bonnaroos we attended before 2020, all went off without a hitch. So, we fully expect Bonnaroo to rebound next year, especially given some important changes they’re making to help combat this year’s issues, including site and infrastructure improvements, later camping entry, moving Where in the Woods into Centeroo to replace the short-lived Infinity Stage, and a reduced overall capacity (the bittersweet outcome of which is also a dramatically reduced Thursday lineup, now billed as a “welcome party,” in order to account for the lower cap without raising prices).
Slated to take place in the usual weekend of June 11-14, again, of course, in its permanent home in nearby Manchester, Bonnaroo 2026 marks the fest’s 23rd installment and 25th year, and, despite the changes which we hope will make the fest more weather-resistant, the just-announced lineup looks very Bonnaroo. Headlining this year are The Strokes, RÜFÜS DU SOL, and Noah Kahan, with Skrillex returning for the Thursday night welcome party. Other topliners include GRiZ, Turnstile, Teddy Swims, The Neighbourhood, Role Model, and Kesha (who also leads the SuperJam), with other highlights including “Weird Al” Yankovic, Vince Staples, Mt. Joy, Alabama Shakes, Modest Mouse, Major Lazer, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Japanese Breakfast, Geese, Amyl and the Sniffers, Turnover, Wet Leg, Passion Pit, Del Water Gap, Hot Mulligan, Holly Humberstone, Blondshell, The Dare, and many more! Check out the full lineup below.
Continuing with a change made a few years ago, tickets and accommodations are now sold separately, meaning you could opt for a more premium ticket and basic camping option, or vice versa. Tickets range from 4-day GA, starting at $389, to GA+, VIP, Platinum, and an insanely expensive, ultra-deluxe Roo Insider. Camping still features options for car and primitive camping, souvenir tents, glamping, groop and community camping, and a premium backstage level, and parking is available as well, for those who choose not to stay on the grounds. At this time, one-day tickets have not been made available, but a waitlist option is open for later (Bonnaroo has wavered in years past on whether to sell single tickets at the start, or open them up later in the spring; we’re not surprised they’re opting for the later, given the smaller capacity). Everything goes on sale this Friday, Dec. 5 at. 10 a.m. central, and you can browse the ticket options here and camping and parking here. Or, if you bought tickets to 2025’s fest, you’ll receive an email for a special presale beginning Wednesday, Dec. 3.
We’ll have plenty more Bonnaroo coverage throughout the spring, including our usual Artist Spotlight series and daily lineup guides, but for now, check out the complete 2026 Bonnaroo lineup below!
