Bonnaroo Festival Takes a Break in 2027
21 Aug
Summary
- Bonnaroo festival will not take place in 2027.
- Persistent severe weather has impacted recent festivals.
- Organizers cite need for campground recovery and rest.
Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival will observe a year off in 2027. Organizers announced this decision, emphasizing the need for the festival grounds to recover from recurrent severe weather events. Significant efforts were made to improve drainage and infrastructure for the 2026 festival, but back-to-back years of storms, including heavy rain in 2026, have stressed the venue.
The festival grounds, particularly the main venue, require a period of rest to recuperate. This marks another year off for Bonnaroo, which previously faced cancellations in 2020 due to COVID-19 and in 2021 due to rainfall. The 2025 festival was also cut short due to weather conditions. The pause in 2027 is intended to ultimately enhance the Bonnaroo experience.
