Welcome to r/Bonnaroo - the sub for Bonnaroovians, by Bonnaroovians.

Whether you're a Bonnaroo Veteran or a Rookie, we are thrilled to have you! Please check our rules, and look at the subreddit wiki.

Enjoy the sub, and Happy Roo!

The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is an annual, four to five-day music festival, originally created and produced by Superfly Productions and AC Entertainment, and first held in 2002. The festival is held at Great Stage Park on a 700 acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee. The festival features multiple stages of live music, with a diverse array of musical styles including indie rock, world music, hip hop, jazz, Americana, bluegrass, country music, folk, gospel, reggae, electronica, and other alternative music. The festival began with a primary focus on jam bands, but has diversified greatly in recent years.

In addition, the campground is split into "Plazas" which offer week long programing, including a few additional stages!

  1. 1. Radiate Positivity Please refrain from hostile/unnecessary confrontation. Negative opinions and reactions are fine, but please do so in a civil way.

Commonly asked questions (like tips and tricks, first timer advice, solo/groop discussion, etc.) have all been asked multiple time.

You can also also use the stickied post at the top to ask any of these FAQ-type questions.

  1. 3. No Buying or Selling of Any Kind Because we don't have a system set in place for tracking the validity of users and avoiding scams, we do not allow buying or selling on this subreddit of any kind. For buying/selling tickets, we refer you to /r/bonnarootickets.

  2. 4. No discussion of illegal activity Do not discuss drugs. No solicitation, sourcing, sales, trading, giving away, or anything similar about drugs, as this could get the sub banned.

Do not discuss smuggling items into the festival, including things that are not illegal, but are banned.

  1. 5. No Duplicate Posts Unfortunately, the sub can get very crowded with multiple posts on the same topic. Please review the sub and make sure that your post has not already been made.

  2. 6. No ride-sharing posts We ask that all posts related to ride sharing be made in the Rideshare Megathread.

  3. 7. Post Should be About Bonnaroo Please make sure that your content relates to Bonnaroo. Other festival's lineup posters are cool to share. For non-lineup discussion of other festivals, please use /r/festivals or other festival subreddits. Also random posts that simply don't relate will be removed.

  4. 8. No Self-Promotion or Sharing Products Please refrain from self-promotion. Linking to your blog is alright within reason if you post relates to Bonnaroo, but please don't spam the subreddit. Marketing and advertising companies will not be allowed, as we have no way of knowing if these are ambassador/sales or spam.

  5. 9. Nails/Pets/Other (See Description) Unfortunately, the sub can get extremely bogged down with users sharing their nails, pets, outfits, etc. as we get close to the festival. While sharing is great, we have to remove some of these posts to keep the sub clear for Roo information.

2018 James Flame Poster

Is there anyone willing to help me find a 2018 lineup poster? It was my first year and didn't consider buying a poster at the time. 4 Roos and 4 posters later I've got an empty spot on my wall. I've tried emailing and sending instagram messages to James Flame but haven't heard a response. Does anyone have one their willing to trade for or a way to get in contact with the artist?

SUNAMI STYLE

if you were at sunami in nashville last night, i love you.

if you also want sunami at bonnaroo, i love you.

if you like hardcore and don’t listen to sunami, please listen to “mind your business” and let the two step and windmills consume you.

if you also saw the sign at EXIT/IN saying “SUAMI” and laughed about if all night, you’re just like me fr

I think Tyler blocked the word bonnaroo from his comments

In his most recent post announcing more dates, multiple people are complaining in the comments about no tennessee dates, there are multiple replies to comments but I can't see majority of them and when I commented bonnaroo under someone's comment and went on my spam account to see if it was there I couldn't find it. I think he's locked.

I just discovered John Summit a couple hours ago and I can’t stop listening. I need him to be at Roo so badly.

Johnny Blue Skies

Does anybody else feel like Sturgill Simpson is approaching headliner status and would fit in well doing a headlining set and leading a Superjam?

Aside from Jack White, I can’t think of that many others (Stapleton, Childers, Greta) who would seriously invigorate Roo and the crowd craving good ole’ rock and roll.

A Bonnaroo revival Superjam feat. Sturgil, Jim James, and friends? 🔥🔥🔥

Tuesday entry?

So this is the first year out of school and coming up on my third roo. For the past two I’ve came in on Wednesday but now that PTO is in the pic and I really don’t do much besides work so v much looking forward to the few vacations I have. Is Tuesday entry worth it if I really wanna soak up my time at roo or should I just take that extra day to get ready for fest?

CHROMAKOPIA!!!

It checks out.

This album is PACKED with beautiful instrumentation and high energy music.

I have zero fear that Tyler’s show won’t deliver.

He’s gonna burn it down. In a good way.

Leave Saturday, bring a genset, or pay for an RV spot?

Planning on doing '25 with my wife. We bought an EV over the summer and have been camping in it. Enjoying HVAC and a pretty solid sleeping platform with a foam/air combo mattress that's damn near as comfortable as our bed at home.

The problem is that I don't think I can make the battery last the full five days wed-sun.

The way I see it I can run a 3600w inverter for 3-4 hours a day, I can leave and charge on Saturday morning, or I can fork over the cash for an RV spot with power. The super quiet Honda inverters are out of my budget, we'd be looking at something around the 65-70dB range.

I looked into solar panels but they're just not realistic when you consider cost + size + the risk that a series of cloudy days will make them near worthless.

Genset: Pros are I can keep it for backup power at home, and battery issues are non existent. Cons are being a shitty neighbor, having to carry jerry cans of fuel into a festival in a sedan, and having to babysit it while its running.

Leaving Saturday: Pros are that it's the cheapest, that's all I've got. Cons are having to pack up camp, traffic, waiting around at a chargers when I'd rather be sleeping, and potentially missing something late Friday night or Saturday afternoon.

RV spot: Pros are proximity to Centeroo, unlimited power, and I can potentially have a buddy buy a companion pass and share the space.

Am I missing anything? Can I even pull an EV into an RV spot as if it's an RV? Would sharing a starlink connection with my neighbors be enough to offset the genset running from 11-3 every day?
