Bonnaroo 2021 Canceled

Bonnaroo 2021 Canceled
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

After days of being soaked by fallout from Hurricane Ida, Bonnaroo 2021, set to take place this weekend, Sept. 2-5, has, unfortunately, been abruptly canceled. Though weekend weather for the festival proper initially appeared promising, the sustained rainfall throughout the week has rendered the sold out fest untenable for the amount of traffic and campers, who make up a bulk of the 80,000 or so attendees, to enter and set up on the grounds, especially as entry was set to begin as early as tomorrow (and initially slated for today).

We are, of course, heartbroken with this latest development, and are sure it was made as a last resort from promoters, who had to delay then cancel last year’s event due to Covid-19, and delay this year’s typical timeframe from June to September, with last-minute additional Covid safety requirements implemented in the face of the Delta variant-fueled recent surge. Bonnaroo 2022 is expected to return to its typical June timeframe, and, fingers crossed, will hopefully occur in a largely post-pandemic world. Ticketholders for this year’s event, many of whom were rollovers from 2020, will be refunded.

Read Bonnaroo’s statement below:

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.

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.

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! All tickets purchased through Front Gate Tickets will be refunded in as little as 30 days to the original method of payment.

We’ve been profiling some of our favorite performers in the leadup, and, though you, unfortunately, won’t be able to catch them live on the farm this weekend, we still hope you’ll peruse our coverage here, as many of these wonderful and up and coming performers warrant your attention regardless!
