Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival recently announced the festival will be June 11-14, 2026 with some changes.

“All things considered, our traditional June time frame remains the most optimal time of year for Bonnaroo,” said an announcement made July 17.

Bonnaroo organizers said that campsites located in areas most affected by flooding will not be used.

Camping entry and programming in Outeroo will begin on Wednesday next year. Centeroo shows will begin Thursday evening on the What Stage. All other Centeroo stages will be programmed in full Friday through Sunday.

The announcement said that after the cancellation from Hurricane Ida in 2021, organizers consulted with drainage and land management experts to improve conditions on The Farm in the event of heavy, sustained rain.

“We created a multi-million-dollar multi-year plan and have been tackling projects post-festival each year,” the release said.

“These improvements have helped, but there is still more work to do. In the 2025/2026 off-season we’ll be dedicating an additional multi-million-dollar budget and initiating improvements that prioritize the campgrounds and other areas affected by the extreme weather in 2025.

Projects will include reseeding the property, continuing to increase access roads within the campgrounds, adding more drainage and reinforcing primary water runoff pathways.

The Where in the Woods UFO Stage will be making its landing in Centeroo. This will take the place of the Infinity Stage and feature late night DJs and dance parties. The Where in the Woods space will continue to serve as a relaxation haven in Outeroo.
