Bonnaroo Cancels After Two Days Due to Flooding

The 2025 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, was canceled after two days due to severe weather, including heavy rain and flooding, which created unsafe camping and egress conditions. Organizers, responding to updated forecasts and escalating risk, initially evacuated parts of the festival grounds before deciding to cancel the remainder of the event. Notable headliners such as Tyler, the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hozier were scheduled, but only Luke Combs performed prior to the shutdown. Full refunds will be issued for all single-day ticket holders, while four-day passes and camping purchases will receive 75% refunds, to be processed within 30 days. Organizers expressed deep regret and prioritized helping those most affected, especially individuals in compromised campsites or with accessibility needs. Tens of thousands of attendees remained in campgrounds at the time of cancellation, with ongoing efforts to ensure their safe departure.
