Tyler, The Creator’s late arrival to his June 13, 2025, Bonnaroo What Stage set stirred a notable buzz among festivalgoers. Fans who camped out for up to 12 hours expressed a mix of frustration and good humor around the delay.
One standout joke credited Tyler’s tardiness to an imagined fear of bees, breaking the tension and sparking laughs across the crowd. Others encouraged fellow fans to tough it out, confident the wait would pay off with a memorable show.
Despite the delay, front-row anticipation stayed high, as did resilience—attendees balanced excitement with bathroom breaks and festival survival tactics. Tyler’s "Chromakopia: The World Tour" headlining slot added to the lore of Bonnaroo 2025, blending moments of playful grumbling with the electric thrill of live music.
This experience captures the classic Bonnaroo spirit: a test of patience rewarded by a dynamic performance. Stay tuned for more festival recaps and fan stories from this year’s edition at Manchester, Tennessee.
