Quick heads-up for Bonnaroo-goers: a clown troupe announced on r/bonnaroo that they’ll be at Roo this year and are looking for fellow clowns to help spread some whimsy. The original post (107 upvotes, 22 comments) was posted by Reddit user Giggles_the_Slut — they shared a colorful selfie with full face paint and a playful sign in the background.
What they’re saying
– The troupe plans to be at Bonnaroo this year and wants other clowns to join them for meetups, performances, and roaming good vibes.
– They asked people to stay tuned for details and encouraged anyone interested to reach out.
What the thread had to say
– Positive vibes: Several commenters are excited and nostalgic — one called clowns “the best part of the experience.” Others said seeing clowns made them more likely to buy a ticket.
– A few festival-goers raised practical concerns: one person mentioned clowns spraying people with soda last year and warned that not everybody appreciates that kind of interaction. Another suggested collaborating with groups like House of Yes or running scavenger-hunt-style activities around the farm.
Quick takeaways for festival folks
– Consent matters: if you’re clowning around, keep interactions fun and optional. Avoid spraying drinks or doing anything that might surprise or annoy other campers.
– Safety & rules: respect festival policies and personal boundaries. Creative performance is awesome — just keep it safe, sober enough to be responsible, and welcoming to everyone.
– Want to join? The easiest move is to reply on the original Reddit thread or connect with other festival communities ahead of time to coordinate meetups.
Whether you love a wandering circus troupe or prefer your festival experiences more low-key, this one’s shaping up to be a colorful addition to the grounds. Keep an eye on the r/bonnaroo thread for logistics, and if you spot them at Roo, bring a smile (and ask before you get sprayed).
