Bonnaroo is coming back to Manchester, Tennessee, after a weather-hit edition wiped out much of this year’s festival. Organizers confirmed a four-day return in June 2026, promising a compact but powerful lineup and a slate of specialty events designed to draw fans back to the Farm.
Bonnaroo 2026 dates, setting, and the comeback story
The festival will run from June 11–14, 2026 on the Bonnaroo grounds in Manchester. Last year’s event was mostly lost to severe storms that canceled nearly three of four days. Promoters say the 2026 edition is a deliberate reboot, with measures to keep the experience focused and resilient.

Thursday opener and weekend pacing
Thursday’s slate is smaller than typical Bonnaroo openers. Expect only a few acts that night. Organizers designed the schedule to build momentum into the heavier Friday–Sunday blocks.
Unique Bonnaroo experiences: superjam and late-night highlights
Bonnaroo will feature its signature specialty programming. The 2026 superjam has a theatrical title and leader: SUPERJÂM ESOTÉRICA: THE ALCHEMY OF POP, led by Kesha. That event aims to blend pop sensibilities with collaborative improvisation.
Additionally, comedy and novelty will get a major moment when “Weird Al” Yankovic headlines a Saturday late-night show billed as Bigger & Weirder Saturday Late Night Roovue.
