When this year’s Bonnaroo was canceled after its first day due to severe weather, organizers initially offered 75% refunds on tickets. They have now pledged to refund the entire ticket price.
Catching up:
The 2025 edition of Bonnaroo was scheduled to take place between June 12-15 and feature performances by Olivia Rodrigo, Hozier, Tyler, the Creator, John Summit, Dom Dolla, Vampire Weekend, GloRilla, Tyla, Avril Lavigne, Glass Animals and more.
The Manchester, Tennessee, festival was hit by severe thunderstorms and an evacuation notice was served on Friday June 13. Shortly after, the event was canceled.
Refunds:
Organizers initially offered 75% refunds for four-day ticketholders, but in response to widespread backlash have now offered 100% refunds on all tickets.
Future plans:
In a social media statement advising of the updated refund policy, organizers wrote: “We want you to know that we’re still listening and actively discussing plans to improve The Farm that we love so much. At this time, we will not be announcing future dates. When plans for the future take shape, you will all be the first to know.”
What they said:
Bonnaroo organizers: “This cancellation broke our hearts beyond measure, but we knew it had to happen for your safety. Thank you for your patience and perseverance through this difficult situation.”
