Overview

  • Bonnaroo 2026 will take place June 11–14 at Great Stage Park in Manchester, Tennessee
  • A multi-million-dollar off-season budget will fund reseeding, added drainage infrastructure and reinforced runoff pathways
  • Organizers will remove the most flood-prone campsite areas, resulting in a reduced overall capacity on the 700-acre site
  • Camping entry will begin on Wednesday, and the festival will open Thursday evening with a welcome party on the What Stage
  • Weather experts endorsed keeping the traditional June timeframe after record-setting rainfall led to the 2025 mid-festival cancellation
