Bonnaroo 2025 officially kicked off on Wednesday, June 11, with fans flowing in and campsites quickly taking shape. The early buzz is all about good vibes, streamlined entry, and that unmistakable Bonnaroo community spirit heating up ahead of the full weekend.
Highlights from Arrival Day:
-
Entry & Traffic: Lines moved briskly, with vehicle searches averaging just 5-10 minutes. A notable police presence and speed traps near Nashville exits kept traffic cautious—heads up if you’re driving in today. Most arrivals accessed plazas 3, 8, or 9; routing shifted dynamically to keep things smooth.
-
Camping Setups & Vibes: Campsites ranged from laid-back to fully decked-out, with plenty of photo shares and community shoutouts flooding the official pre-party live chat. The promise of “Where in the Woods” opening soon adds to the pre-show thrill.
-
Useful Tips: Fans shared a must-have tool, a custom schedule planner available at lynup.io, helping attendees rank artists and track set times effortlessly. Free brunch invites were spotted near Row N14, adding a tasty bonus to morning meet-ups.
-
Offbeat Moments: A rogue chicken making rounds in a Walmart parking lot close to the festival route gave some laughs amid the arrival rush.
-
Heads Up: No gas stations inside the festival grounds; fill your tank beforehand. Vehicle re-entry is generally discouraged and may come with a $40 fee for exceptions. More info is available at Bonnaroo Support.
