A fresh round of Bonnaroo surveys is making the rounds, sparking chatter and chuckles among the festival community. Shared on the r/bonnaroo subreddit by Lexy Hawkes, the latest survey announcement came with a striking black-and-white Vietnam War-themed meme featuring a dog amidst helicopters — adding an ironic visual punch to the usual survey notice.
Fans report multiple waves of surveys lately, with some anticipating yet another cycle while others recall being picked or skipped in earlier ones. The reception is a mix of amusement and mild survey fatigue, reflecting a wider conversation about the festival organizers’ persistent outreach.
This isn’t about new artist announcements or immediate event details, but rather highlights Bonnaroo’s proactive steps to gather attendee feedback following its 2025 event cancellation due to severe weather. The surveys are exploring crucial questions around shifting the festival’s timing, location, and format — including proposals to move to late summer or fall dates and possibly go biennial to boost sustainability.
Community sentiment ranges from gratitude for the chance to influence Bonnaroo’s future to skepticism about how much fan input will truly shape change. As of now, these survey rounds underscore Bonnaroo’s commitment to reconnecting with its audience while navigating recent challenges.
