Bonnaroo 2025 Canceled: Officials Call Off Shows After Severe Weather Swamps Grounds
- On June 13, Bonnaroo organizers announced the cancellation of the rest of the 2025 festival in Manchester, Tennessee, due to intense storms and water damage affecting The Farm.
- Heavy rain from storms, including around one inch falling by mid-afternoon, followed a particularly rainy spring with May as Tennessee’s third rainiest month on record.
- Organizers suspended shows at 1 p.m., evacuated Centeroo half an hour later, and urged campers in stable conditions to remain overnight to prioritize evacuating vulnerable attendees this evening.
- Refunds will be issued with full returns for one-day admissions and parking, and 75% refunds for four-day passes, as the organizers expressed being "beyond gutted" and thanked attendees for their patience and positivity.
- The cancellation halted planned performances by headliners such as Tyler, The Creator and Olivia Rodrigo, marking the festival’s first severe weather shutdown since 2021 and emphasizing ongoing challenges for large outdoor events.
