Bonnaroo Canceled After One Day, Full Refunds Issued

The 2025 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival was canceled after just one day due to severe weather, sparking widespread backlash over organizers' initial offer of only a 75% refund. Following a public petition and criticism, organizers reversed course and are now issuing full 100% refunds to all attendees. Organizers expressed disappointment in a public statement, citing safety as their top priority and noting that future festival dates have not been announced. This marks the third time in five years that Bonnaroo has been canceled due to extreme events, including the pandemic and Hurricane Ida. Capitol Groove, another festival, is offering free entry to Bonnaroo ticket holders. Organizers have acknowledged criticism about communication and pledged to improve future events.
