Bonnaroo will take a year off
Organizers of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival said the event will not be held in 2027 so The Farm can rest and recover after repeated heavy storms and consecutive stressful seasons. C3 Presents, the festival producer owned by Live Nation, had spent millions on drainage, 4.5 miles of new roadways and 135 acres of new grass before the 2026 return, but the June event still faced storm delays, a final-day evacuation and several performance cancellations. The year off ends Bonnaroo’s annual June cadence, prompts fan surveys about new dates, and shifts planning for promoters, artists and attendees.
Bonnaroo will not take place in 2027.
