A photo taken from the Ferris wheel at Bonnaroo 2025 during Dom Dolla’s Thursday night What Stage set revealed an exceptionally dense, massive crowd. Attendees commented on the unusually high turnout and crowding for a Thursday evening—even questioning if ticket sales exceeded expectations.
The packed audience brought intense heat and limited airflow, causing discomfort and making breathing near the stage tough for some. Visibility was also compromised due to the sheer number of people. Yet, many praised the electric energy and enthusiasm radiating through the crowd.
Notably, the Which and What stages usually don’t start Thursday sets, so this strong attendance caught many by surprise. Official schedules confirmed Dom Dolla’s performance was one of the first on the What Stage this year.
This opening night surge set a high-energy tone for the entire Bonnaroo weekend, with fans eager for what’s next.
