A seasoned Bonnaroo veteran dropped a clever survival tip that’s pure gold for festivalgoers: update your phone’s lock screen with emergency contacts, friend names, and your campsite info. This simple tweak has reportedly helped them recover lost phones multiple times over 8 years amid the madness of the Farm.
The idea caught fire in the community, sparking talks about creating custom lock screen wallpapers designed specifically with editable contact info and festival schedules. Fans also recommend pairing this with location-sharing features like Snapchat’s Snap Map or iPhone’s Find My to double down on phone recovery chances.
Pro Tip for Bonnaroo 2025 (and beyond): Before you dive into the music, make sure your lock screen is ready to help strangers help you. Bonus points for carrying a small reward for anyone who returns your phone—it keeps the good karma flowing.
Stay connected, stay chill, and keep those phones safe this festival season!
