Okay, Roo crew—it’s almost time to head back to The Farm, and this year’s Bonnaroo is looking seriously next-level. Whether you’ve been a dozen times or you’re finally making the trip, the 2025 lineup, new stages, and those iconic Bonnaroo vibes are basically begging you to start packing now. Here’s everything you need to know for June 12–15 in Manchester, Tennessee.
Headliners That Slay Across the Board
This year’s lineup? Wild. Like, actually insane in the best way. You’ve got Tyler, The Creator bringing that unpredictable, high-energy chaos that only he can. Olivia Rodrigo is pulling up for her one and only U.S. festival appearance (no big deal, just the most in-demand pop girl right now). Then there’s Luke Combs, giving us big heart, big vocals, and major “sing-it-with-your-whole-soul” energy. And of course, Hozier—who will 1000% be responsible for at least one spiritual moment in the middle of the field during sunset. Bring tissues.
But like… it doesn’t stop there. Avril Lavigne is making her Bonnaroo debut and honestly, it’s about time—she’s here to awaken our inner teen angst. Then you’ve got the dreamy, trippy vibes of Glass Animals, the indie kings Vampire Weekend, the return of French electronic legends Justice, and genre-bending queen GloRilla. Oh, and Modest Mouse? Iconic.
Honestly, the whole thing is stacked top to bottom, and every time I scroll the lineup, I find someone else I’m excited about. It’s giving chaotic good energy and I am so here for it.
The New “Infinity Stage” Is Literally So Cool
Bonnaroo is debuting this super immersive new setup called the Infinity Stage and it’s basically built for the era of overstimulation (lol). It’s open-air with this trippy dome vibe and 360° sound—like, the music hits from all directions. If you’re someone who lives for visuals and audio syncing perfectly, this will be your happy place.
SuperJam = 70s Pool Party Vibes?? Yes Please
You know the SuperJam is always a wild card, but this year it’s a literal ‘70s Pool Party curated by Remi Wolf. So expect glitter, disco, funk, and a bunch of surprise guests showing up in sequins. If you’re into retro energy and surprise collabs, this is 100% a don’t-miss moment.
Camp Like a Pro (Or Like, Glamp, Honestly)
Let’s talk camping real quick. If you’re the roughin’ it type, General Admission camping is still a whole vibe. But Bonnaroo’s upgraded their options this year with new Closer Camping spots that get you way closer to Centeroo (aka less walking = yes plz). And if you’re more into air conditioning and plush bedding, the glamping and Platinum setups are pretty dreamy.
Also—new for this year is a bunch of RV-friendly zones with easier access and power hookups, which is huge if you’re rollin’ in style.
Don’t Sleep on the Outeroo
Sure, the music is the main event—but there’s sooo much happening in the Outeroo. You’ve got Where in the Woods if you want to dance in a literal forest at 3AM (yes, really), plus tons of art installations, random surprises, chill zones, and workshops to balance out the chaos. It’s giving “music meets magic” in the best way.
Tickets + Tips
If you haven’t grabbed your tickets yet, go do that at bonnaroo.com. GA, GA+, VIP, and Platinum passes are all available depending on how much ✨ comfort ✨ you want.
Hot tip: when the schedule drops, don’t over-plan. The best Roo moments usually happen when you’re not trying so hard—wander around, follow the bass, and be open to whatever (or whoever) you find. We have more tips here.
One Last Thing…
Bonnaroo isn’t just another music festival—it’s a full-on experience. It’s that place where strangers become besties, music feels like magic, and you leave a little sunburned, kinda emotional, and totally recharged. If 2025 is your year to go, trust me—it’s gonna be everything.
