Bonnaroo 2025 has been officially cancelled in response to severe weather threats. The National Weather Service forecasted significant, steady rain expected to worsen camping and exit conditions, prompting festival organizers to end the event early for attendee safety.
Key updates:
- Priority exit assistance is focused on those in the worst camping areas and those with accessibility needs.
- Attendees in better conditions or RVs have been advised to remain overnight and prepare for safe departures tomorrow.
- Critical services including food vendors and safety teams remain operational in the Outeroo camping zone.
Community reaction has been largely empathetic, with heartbreak expressed for those who traveled far and concerns over overnight camping logistics amid adverse weather. Local calls have urged mutual support during this difficult situation.
Refund details will be communicated shortly to ticket holders. Festival organizers expressed profound regret and gratitude for the enduring resilience of the Bonnaroo community.
This cancellation echoes prior weather-related disruptions at Bonnaroo, including 2021’s cancellation due to flooding from Hurricane Ida and 2023’s weather-driven evacuations, underscoring the festival’s ongoing battle with extreme weather and commitment to safety.
Stay tuned for further updates.
