Bonnaroo Canceled

Campgrounds opened Tuesday afternoon and Thursday’s performances were a success. However, Friday’s rain caused the main grounds to be closed most of the day. Around 8pm Friday evening Bonnaroo announced that the festival is cancelled for the remainder of the weekend.

“…the National Weather Service provided us with an updated forecast with significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days. We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo.”
