Bonnaroo fans gearing up for the 2025 fest are sharing essential wristband hacks to keep their experience smooth and snug without the dreaded “stank arm.” The key is not to tighten your wristband fully right away—this avoids discomfort and potential access issues once inside.
Here are some top community-tested tricks:
- Flip the clasp on top of your hand to reduce tightness.
- Use a small safety pin behind the clasp to lock in a looser fit.
- Slide a small piece of straw inside the band to add slack.
- Tie a hair tie or rubber band between your wrist and clasp for adjustable comfort.
A popular TikTok tutorial also walks you through these emergency fixes visually, making it easier to troubleshoot on the fly.
That said, beware that Bonnaroo’s official policy prohibits tampering or transferring wristbands. Always ensure your modifications don’t risk invalidating your entry. For details, visit Bonnaroo’s wristband policy.
Pack these tricks to dodge discomfort and festival access headaches — stay chill, stay comfy, and enjoy Roo 2025!
