The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is set to return June 16-19 after a two-year absence with headliners Stevie Nicks, Tool, J. Cole, Flume, Machine Gun Kelly and The Chicks.
The festival features more than 100 acts performing over four days almost around the clock on almost a dozen stages.
Also scheduled to perform this summer will be Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Lord Huron, Herbie Hancock, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats, The War on Drugs, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Goose, Japanese Breakfast, Marc Rebillet, Chvrches, Billy Strings, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and local rap artist Isaiah Rashad.
One of the largest music festivals in the country, Bonnaroo draws 80,000 people each June to a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee. The event was canceled in 2020 because of COVID-19 and moved to September in 2021 for the same reason, only to be canceled a day before fans were to arrive because of the remnants of Hurricane Ida, which moved from Louisiana to the East Coast.
Bonnaroo tickets go on sale Thursday at bonnaroo.com starting at $299 for general admission. The festival offers several ticket tiers, such as VIP for $1,250 and Platinum for $3,500.
The festival offers a variety of admission options ranging in price from $299 to $3,500 including General Admission (4-Day), GA+ (4-Day), VIP (4-Day), Platinum (4-Day), General Admission Camping and Parking, VIP Camping, Platinum Camping, and more.
Organizers said in their news release that they have paid close attention to fan feedback regarding everything from upgraded amenities for campers, permanent bathrooms and water stations, and improved entry, including allowing patrons in a day early. This year it has also added free pedicab rides from general camping to Centeroo, where the stages are located.
