A seasoned Bonnaroo attendee shared a clever mnemonic to help rookies quickly orient themselves on festival grounds: use your hand as a mental map. The wrist represents the “Arch” entrance, the palm stands for the Fountain, and each finger corresponds to key spots labeled “What,” “Which,” “This,” “Other,” and “That.”
The festival community has embraced this simple yet effective tip for organizing daily schedules and easing navigation. Many applaud its ingenuity and ease of remembering, making it a handy tool for first-timers.
However, some caution that while this method is great for initial orientation—especially upon entering at the Arch—it doesn’t perfectly represent the actual walking distances between stages.
Still, this mnemonic is catching on as a go-to spatial guide, helping newcomers confidently find their way around Bonnaroo’s sprawling layout.
