Hurricane Ida has flooded Bonnaroo Farm
Organizers of Bonnaroo have canceled this year’s edition due to weather. A notice on the festival’s social media channels says there is flooding throughout the area due to Hurricane Ida.
“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,” they share.
“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.”
Bonnaroo 2021 was set for this weekend, September 2–5 on the Bonnaroo Farm, located just 60 miles southeast of Nashville in Manchester, TN. The lineup was set to feature a diverse bill that spans an epic range of artists and genres including the Grand Ole Opry, Foo Fighters, Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Tyler, The Creator, Lana Del Rey, Lil Baby, and more.
The event officially sold out of four day tickets, less than a month of going on sale. Attendees were set to experience an extraordinarily diverse bill with a remarkable selection of top artists who were to perform around the clock across more than 10 unique stages over the four-day festival.
