Bonnaroo Manchester Farm
Bonnaroo
Few music festivals in the world boast a culture as distinct and welcoming as Bonnaroo. Held annually on "The Farm," this four-day spectacular is a concert series that’s more like a temporary city built on the code of "Radiating Positivity."
For nearly a quarter-century, music lovers have flocked to this Tennessee haven to escape the real world and immerse themselves in a non-stop celebration of music, art, and community.
What makes the event truly unique is its 24-hour nature: music often plays until sunrise, and the campgrounds are as much a part of the experience as the main stages.1 From the iconic fountain to the high-five lines that form at the iconic Arch entrance, the atmosphere is one of unparalleled camaraderie.

This festival takes place at Great Stage Park in Manchester, Tennessee, affectionately known by fans simply as "The Farm."2

About Bonnaroo
Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival began in 2002, founded by Superfly and AC Entertainment. The name comes from the Creole slang for "a really good time," popularized by Dr. John’s 1974 album Desitively Bonnaroo.4
In its early years, it was primarily a vehicle for improvisation-heavy jam bands, drawing comparisons to legendary festivals of the late 60s like Woodstock. Over the last two decades, it has grown into a cultural juggernaut, influencing the modern festival landscape by prioritizing fan experience and sustainability. Its legacy is defined not just by the superstars who have played there, but by the loyal community of "Bonnaroovians" who return year after year.
