Bonnaroo dropped its 2026 poster and, as expected, the internet has opinions. The festival is set for June 11–14 in Manchester, Tennessee, with a mix of electronic bombast, alt-rock favorites and singer-songwriter fare across the weekend — plus a late-night Weird Al gag set that’s already getting chatter.
Headliners and key day splits on the poster:
- Thursday — Skrillex (with Four Tet, Vince Staples and more)
- Friday — The Strokes, Griz, Turnstile (big names and a wide-ranging undercard)
- Saturday — Rüfüs Du Sol, Teddy Swims, The Neighbourhood (dance-leaning and indie picks)
- Sunday — Noah Kahan, Role Model, Kesha (a softer closer with pop and singer-songwriter energy)
The full poster is crowded with familiar festival staples: Wet Leg, Modest Mouse, Lil Jon, Amyl & The Sniffers, Passion Pit, Turnover, and a handful of legacy acts that prompted a few eyebrow-raises.
Reaction from the festival trenches has been mixed. Some fans are just straight-up jealous of other fests that announce earlier and cleaner lineups, while others call this one top-heavy — praising the undercard but questioning the main-stage placements. A recurring gripe: older names like Blues Traveler appearing low on the bill, which rubbed some people the wrong way. On the flip side, punk and hardcore fans were glad to see Turnstile and Amyl & The Sniffers show up, though there were jokes about how some punk-leaning fests never get the same bookings.
Bottom line: the poster offers something for a lot of festival tastes — from EDM and pop to indie and punk — and it’s already lighting up group chats and Reddit threads. If you’re weighing whether to pull the trigger on a ticket, Bonnaroo’s official site still lists passes, and this lineup will likely keep the conversation going until set times and stage assignments arrive.
