We are absolutely heartbroken to announce that
we must cancel Bonnaroo. While this weekend’s
weather looks outstanding, currently Centeroo
is waterlogged in many areas, the ground is
incredibly saturated on our tollbooth paths,
and the campgrounds are flooded to the point that
we are unable to drive in or park vehicles safely, Bonnaroo, via Twitter.
We have done everything in our power to try to keep the show moving forward, but Mother Nature has dealt us a tremendous amount of rain over the past 24 hours, and we have run out of options to try to make the event happen safely and in a way that lives up to the Bonnaroo experience, Bonnaroo, via Twitter.
Please find ways to safely gather with your Bonnaroo community and continue to radiate positivity during this disappointing time. WE WILL SEE YOU ON THE FARM IN JUNE 2022!, Bonnaroo, via Twitter.
