Bonnaroo takes a year off in 2027
Music festival fans across the country are holding their breath, as massive updates are coming from the heart of Tennessee regarding one of the nation’s most beloved summer events. The long-standing Bonnaroo music festival has made a significant announcement: the festival will be taking a much-needed pause.
In a decision aimed at ensuring the festival maintains its legendary status and attendee experience, Bonnaroo has officially announced it will be taking a year off. This means that the iconic event will not be taking place in 2027.
This temporary hiatus is seen as a strategic move, allowing the organizers to refresh and prepare for an even bigger and better return. The festival leadership has stated that taking this time off is necessary to provide a much-needed respite for the entire community.
The good news is that this break is temporary. Plans are already underway for the festival to make its grand comeback, with organizers firmly setting their sights on returning in 2028.
For those who have waited for the return, the anticipation is palpable. A year off allows the entire festival ecosystem—from the lineups to the site experience—to be reimagined, promising an even more unforgettable experience when Bonnaroo finally rolls back into town.
