Heavy rains turned this year’s festival into an unexpected farewell
Bonnaroo 2025 was canceled due to severe rain
The fields of Manchester, Tennessee, were set to roar with electrifying performances, vibrant crowds, and unforgettable energy. But nature had other plans. Bonnaroo 2025 came to a screeching halt as torrential downpours and flash flooding forced organizers to cancel the festival midway.
A Weekend of Hope… Then a Sudden Halt
With a stellar lineup featuring Olivia Rodrigo, Hozier, Tyler, The Creator, and Queens of the Stone Age, Bonnaroo fans arrived ready to embrace the magic of music and community. But by Friday, the heavy rains had turned campgrounds into swamps, and walkways became near-impossible to traverse. Festival organizers, citing worsening weather forecasts, pulled the plug on the rest of the event—an announcement that sent shockwaves across social media.
Fans were heartbroken. Some had traveled cross-country, prepared for four days of pure festival bliss. Others reminisced about 2021’s washout due to Hurricane Ida, lamenting a strange sense of déjà vu.
Refunds and Next Steps
To soften the blow, Bonnaroo organizers confirmed that:
- Single-day ticket holders for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will receive full refunds.
- 4-day admission passes will be refunded up to 75%.
- Refunds will be processed within 30 days.
Despite the disappointment, Bonnaroo 2025 will be remembered—not just for its stacked lineup, but for the resilience of its fans, the mud-soaked memories, and the hope that next year brings better skies.
Stay tuned for updates on what’s next for Bonnaroo—and whether this beloved festival will return stronger than ever.
