Bonnaroo Addresses Site Issues Amid Fan Calls for Festival’s Core Identity

Feel like this has gone under the radar, but this was a comment left by the Bonnaroo Facebook page today

Bonnaroo organizers responded to rising fan concerns on their official Facebook page, confirming that drainage and site upgrades remain top priorities. They promised more detailed plans soon, aiming to improve attendee experience.

Online reactions are mixed: many festival-goers appreciate the acknowledgment but maintain skepticism due to ongoing frustrations over communication transparency, ticket pricing, and the evolving music lineup, which some say drifts too far into EDM territory.

Key points from fan discussions include:

  • Strong desire to preserve Bonnaroo’s grassroots vibe rather than a shift toward a heavier EDM focus
  • Resistance to any event relocation
  • Speculation about possible capacity reductions linked to infrastructure improvements

To gather community input, the festival launched a comprehensive survey asking about size, duration, location, and artistic direction. This outreach suggests organizers are listening, but fans want to see concrete changes, not just promises.
