June 11–14, Bonnaroo 2026 will feature more than 100 artists across multiple stages, covering every genre and bringing together fans from across the U.S. and the world. After last year’s weather-related cancellation, the anticipation feels even higher this year.
From art installations and wellness activities to camping, late-night sets, and hands-on workshops, there is always something happening around The Farm. Centeroo hosts the main stages and performances, while Outeroo offers a ton of fun interactive experiences, with journaling workshops, book and art swaps, yoga sessions, patch-making, and more.
Part of what makes Bonnaroo such a special event is everything happening outside of the performances. Across The Farm, you can explore large-scale art installations, wellness spaces, vendors, and community areas throughout the weekend. The iconic Bonnaroo fountain becomes a main cool-off spot during hot Tennessee afternoons, while the Ferris wheel offers one of the best views on The Farm, especially at sunset.
The weather is typically hot, humid, and unpredictable, so packing for all conditions is essential. Thankfully, some stages are under tents, making it easy to step out of the sun without stepping away from the festival experience.
When the sun goes down, Bonnaroo becomes a completely different world. Nights cool off, and late-night sets go well into the early morning hours, from electronic sets in the woods to unforgettable moments camping under the stars. Ask anyone who has been, and they will say the same thing: the people are what make Bonnaroo special. The atmosphere is welcoming, positive, and deeply community-driven, with strangers sharing high fives, campground conversations, and a love of live music.
The festival kicks off Thursday in Centeroo with Skrillex headlining, before the full weekend schedule takes over Friday through Sunday.
