Update on Regulatory Developments for Bonnaroo 2025
Recent reports indicate that Tennessee’s Senate vote to ban THCA has ignited widespread debate among Bonnaroo fans. The measure, influenced by major alcohol industry interests, raises fears of stricter undercover enforcement at the festival.
Key Points:
- Legislation Timeline: The THCA ban is set to take effect in January 2026, making its immediate impact on Bonnaroo 2025 uncertain.
- Temporary Injunction: A Tennessee judge issued a temporary injunction on December 23, 2024, halting new hemp testing regulations—which included the THCA ban—until February 18, 2025. This delay allows further legal review of the measure.
- Festivalgoer Sentiment: Despite the looming changes, many attendees recall lenient enforcement at past festivals and remain optimistic about their plans to enjoy Bonnaroo 2025.
Stay tuned as we monitor further legal developments and their potential impact on the festival experience.
