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.”
