MANCHESTER, Tenn. – How do you do Bonnaroo?
There are almost as many ways to partake of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival as there are people at the event.
Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known by his stage name deadmau5 performs at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival on Saturday, June 13, 2015 in Manchester, Tenn. For the uninitiated, the mere mention of Bonnaroo conjures images of sweaty hippies camping in mud. The reality is, some people do rough it, but most, especially the thousands of people who come every year, create campsites that have all the comforts of home, and then some.
And then there is the VIP experience, which includes special seating, bathrooms and showers, a daily prepared meal and easy access. Some load up their compact cars, their trucks, their minivans or their SUVs and treat them as their home-away-from-home for four days.
