Bonnaroo 2025 Canceled After First Day Due to Weather

The 2025 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, was canceled after only one day due to severe weather, including heavy rain and flooding threats that rendered camping and travel unsafe. Organizers, acting on updated National Weather Service forecasts, evacuated the main venue and prioritized assistance for campers in flooded or inaccessible areas, especially those with accessibility needs. Festival services such as food and health stations remained open to support stranded attendees. Refunds are being provided: 100% for single-day tickets for Friday through Sunday and 75% for four-day passes, processed within 30 days. The cancellation disrupted plans for both fans and workers, who faced logistical and financial challenges, and affected high-profile acts like Tyler, the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hozier. This marks Bonnaroo’s second major weather-related cancellation in recent years, with organizers emphasizing that public safety was their top priority.
