Bonnaroo 2025 Music Festival Canceled Due to Weather
Updated June 14, 2025
The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival 2025 in Manchester, TN, has been canceled due to extreme weather conditions. The cancellation comes just one day after the four-day event kicked off. The festival, which drew 70,000 fans in 2024, was scheduled to feature headliners Tyler, the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Vampire Weekend.
Organizers cited “significant and steady precipitation” as the reason for calling off the event. They said the weather would create deteriorating camping and egress conditions. The festival initially suspended shows around 1 p.m. Friday and evacuated Centeroo before making the decision to cancel the remaining days.
In a statement posted on the festival’s website, organizers said they were “beyond gutted” but had to make the safest decision. They encouraged attendees with secure campsites, RVs, or pre-pitched accommodations to stay overnight and said they would safely escort them out Saturday.
Refunds will be issued to those affected by the cancellation. Organizers said one-day ticket holders and parking purchasers for Friday through Sunday will receive full refunds. Those who bought four-day tickets and four-day camping accommodations will get a 75% refund. The festival said refunds would be processed in “as little as 30 days.”
what’s next
Festival organizers will likely assess the damage and begin planning for Bonnaroo 2026, taking into account the lessons learned from this year’s weather-related cancellation. Further data regarding refunds and future events will be available on the Bonnaroo website.
