Bonnaroo music and arts festival is a freewheeling throwback to the original love-ins of the late 60s/early 70s, like Monterely & Atlanta International Pop Music Festivals and the legendary Woodstock; it has been named one of the “50 moments that changed rock & roll” by Rolling Stone and one of the 10 Best Festivals by GQ, superseding its forbears for a new legendary status!

Jam Bands, Folk & Paul McCartney 

Starting out with jam bands and folk and moving onto becoming the host of some serious names, yet always remaining true to its routes, previous acts include: Paul McCartney, The Beach Boys, The White Stripes, Neil Young, Wilco, Bon Iver, James Brown, Willie Nelson, Mumford and Sons, Bob Dylan, Jay Z, The Strokes, The Police, Arcade Fire and Billy Joel.

Fountian & Crafty Campers

Craftsmen and artisans turnout in droves to flog their unique products, but for those fans who are feeling inspired, or want a little more inspiration, there is The Grind (a barn with DIY kits for getting crafty); yoga and giant checkers to get the juices flowing; The Fountain (design and created each year by different vibrant artists); The Academy (interactive art experiences, theatre, percussion, instrument building and gardening) along with general entertainment like a waterslide, cinema & comedy theatre.

Clean, Green Planet Roo

Such an event would be nothing without a bit of climate change awareness, and the Roos take it to the next level, with Planet Roo providing fun classes to learn, create and develop, spreading knowledge and hosting 25 non-profit organisations; pre-purchased water bottles for free refills and beer bottles for reduced refills and the Learning Garden to help fans develop their green thumbs.

Bonnaroo is a 60s love-in + fountain, fancy-dress & Planet Roo for Bonnaroovians!
