Nestled in the heart of Tennessee’s rolling farmland, the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival stands as one of North America’s premier music and cultural celebrations. Since its inception in 2002, this four-day extravaganza has transformed a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee, into a vibrant community of music, art, and self-expression. The name “Bonnaroo,” derived from Creole slang meaning “best on the street,” perfectly captures the festival’s essence of delivering extraordinary experiences.
The event has earned its reputation as the “Festival of Happiness” through its unique combination of diverse musical performances, gourmet food offerings, and innovative art installations. The festival’s commitment to sustainability and community has garnered numerous accolades, including recognition for its environmental initiatives and significant economic impact on the region.
The 2025 edition, scheduled for June 12–15, promises to be especially ambitious. Headliners include Luke Combs, Tyler, The Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hozier, representing an expertly curated mix of genres from country and hip-hop to pop and alternative rock. This year introduces enhanced VIP amenities, including new luxury camping options and exclusive viewing areas, elevating the festival experience to unprecedented levels of comfort and sophistication.
