The annual Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee will be taking a year-long break in 2027, according to a recent announcement. The beloved event, which has taken place at the Farm in Manchester, Tennessee since 2002, is set to return in 2028. The decision comes after a series of weather-related cancellations in recent years. In 2020, the festival was canceled due to COVID-19, and in 2021, it was halted by flooding.
Severe weather once again forced the cancellation of most festivities in 2025. Following the 2026 event, the Bonnaroo team decided to take the hiatus to allow The Farm to recover. The team expressed gratitude to attendees, praising the 2026 festival for being "epic," and thanked the community for their continued support. The statement concluded with a call for fans to maintain a positive outlook in their communities.
