The Bonnaroo subreddit has ignited a viral discussion over bathroom conduct after dark at Centeroo. A frustrated user called out festival-goers—especially men—for choosing to pee outside near fences rather than wait in long lines for official bathrooms. This practice has sparked strong odors and health concerns around restrooms and the That Tent area.
Community advice surfaced in force with these key recommendations:
- Check Both Sides of Bathroom Entrances: Many don’t realize there are often open stalls on either side, which can reduce wait times dramatically.
- Women Coordinating Door-Holding: Ladies can team up to access closed stalls more quickly, easing restroom bottlenecks.
- Master the Urinal Queue: Learning the inside urinal queuing patterns helps avoid long “piss lines” and frustration.
Bonnaroo offers hundreds of permanent, flushable toilets in Centeroo plus port-a-johns scattered across campgrounds and venue areas. Showers with a nominal fee are also available at various Plaza locations.
Festival organizers and veteran attendees alike stress the importance of respecting sanitation facilities to keep the vibe clean, safe, and enjoyable. The message is clear: use the designated bathrooms, respect your fellow festival-goers, and keep Bonnaroo’s famously chill atmosphere intact.
