The Bonnaroo community is buzzing with mixed emotions over the latest official merchandise reveal. A significant number of fans are disappointed by the exclusion of bandanas—a staple comfort and survival item for many festivalgoers—from the current lineup of pre-order merch and elevated camping packages.
What’s Available Now
The official Bonnaroo store currently offers a limited selection for 2025 pre-orders, including:
- Bonnaroo Wave Tie Dye Tee
- Women’s Bonnaroo Wave Cropped Tank
- Bonnaroo Wave Pullover Crewneck Sweatshirt
- Bonnaroo Wave Foam Trucker Hat
Bandanas are notably missing from these offerings.
VIP and Platinum Package Merch Exclusives
Historically, higher-tier camping options have included exclusive memorabilia like posters and tees. While details for 2025’s VIP and Platinum swag remain under wraps, some fans raise concerns that these exclusives could deepen the gap between regular attendees and premium pass holders.
Community Voices & Hopes
- Many Redditors lament the absence of bandanas, calling it a "tragedy" given their importance for dusty, hot festival days.
- Others remind the community that initial merch drops tend to be limited and hope bandanas or artisan-made, fan-inspired merchandise may appear in future releases.
- There’s also a groundswell of interest in more creative, independent merch options beyond the official line.
What’s Next?
With the festival still months away, fans eager for bandanas and diverse merch can keep an eye on the official Bonnaroo merchandise store for updates. Organizers often stagger merchandise announcements, so this conversation remains open as the festival date nears.
For now, Bonnaroo fans are balancing frustration with cautious optimism, hoping the official merch rollout includes some of those beloved essentials—especially bandanas. Stay tuned for further drops and exclusive reveals.
