Marcus King, the Southern rock and blues powerhouse hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, is turning up the heat at Bonnaroo 2025 as the festival’s 72nd artist. He’s set to electrify audiences on Thursday, June 12, delivering a mix of soulful blues, raw rock, and psychedelic southern vibes.
From an early age, Marcus honed his skills—starting shows with his father by age eight—and quickly emerged as a compelling live performer. His debut solo album, El Dorado, earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. Building on that success, his follow-up album, Young Blood (2022), dropped at the top of the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart, solidifying his status as a modern trailblazer in the genre.
As the countdown to Bonnaroo ticks down to just 58 days, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Get ready to experience an unforgettable set, and in the meantime, dive into a couple of his standout YouTube performances of “The Well” and “Hard Working Man.”
