I think I might go to Bonnaroo this year.

A few years ago when I first heard Manu Chao I said "if Manu Chao ever plays Bonnaroo I'm going", and lo and behold Manu Chao is playing Bonnaroo this year.

Also: Tool! Gogol Bordello! Ween! The White Stripes! David Cross! Hippies! Police! Dogs! Tents! Etc!

I'm still undecided.

Tool are kinda dull live, unless Maynard hiding at the back of the stage is your thing.

sixteen years pass...

I haven’t been since pre-pandemic, but I feel sad for all the Bonnaroo kids who went to all the trouble and expense to go this year and got one night of music and then a “partial refund” when they canceled the rest.

hello people from the future who read this message ^

this happened:
https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bonnaroo-2025-canceled-1235999521/

After issuing an evacuation notice to attendees earlier Friday (June 13), the remainder of the 2025 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival has now been canceled due to severe weather.

The Manchester, Tennessee, festival shared the news on social media around 7:30 p.m. local time Friday, saying that the updated forecast was showing unsustainable conditions for on-site campers as heavy thunderstorms ripped through the area.
