As Bonnaroo 2025 approaches, Reddit’s r/bonnaroo community is abuzz with debate over late-night DJing and after-parties in the campgrounds. A prominent post urged campers to respect volume limits after official sets conclude, highlighting the tight living quarters and the importance of sleep to recharge for the next day.
The thread reveals a clear split:
- Quiet Advocates: Call for respecting quiet hours and neighborly consideration.
- Non-Stop Party Fans: Embrace the 24/7 festival vibe and recommend earplugs as a compromise.
- Balance Seekers: Recognize the need to party and rest, emphasizing mutual respect.
This reflects the ongoing tension between communal respect and late-night revelry within Bonnaroo’s shared camping grounds.
In response, Bonnaroo organizers have expanded campground amenities with:
- New Campground Plazas: Featuring ambient sound baths, healing sessions, and cultural centers, designed as inclusive, low-noise environments.
- The Infinity Stage: A 360° dome with performances by Arooj Aftab, Big Gigantic (DJ Set), and Rebecca Black (DJ Set), offering immersive music away from campsites.
- Robust After Hours Lineup: Featuring Dom Dolla, Glass Animals, Justice, and Insane Clown Posse, starting after midnight in designated venues to channel late-night energy responsibly.
Festivalgoers are advised to plan ahead—whether that means dialing down the volume at their campsite or packing earplugs—and to take advantage of the official late-night spaces designed to keep the vibes strong while preserving rest.
Bonnaroo 2025’s message is clear: celebrate smart, respect neighbors, and let the festival’s official venues handle your after-hours needs.
