Bonnaroo Tells Attendees to Evacuate As Severe Weather Approaches
55m
The second day of this year’s Bonnaroo is not going quite to plan, with the Tennessee festival having to issue an evacuation notice Friday (June 13) as severe weather closed in.
In an announcement posted to Instagram, officials asked attendants to “please head calmly to the nearest exit” and find a vehicle to wait in safely. “Severe weather is approaching,” the caption read. “Please exit Centeroo immediately and shelter in a vehicle. No vehicle? Find a friend.”
Shortly afterward, the festival shared another update. “We expect weather to impact The Farm for the next couple of hours, at least,” it read. “Centeroo and the tolls are closed until the weather has passed. Please remain in a vehicle. We know you’re curious about today’s schedule and we will update you as soon as we can.”

Billboard has reached out to Bonaroo reps for more details.
The announcement comes as heavy thunderstorms are ripping through Manchester, Tenn., where the four-day music festival is held annually. Tyler, the Creator, John Summit and Glass Animals had been expected to perform later Friday night, with Megadeth, JPEGMAFIA, Marina, Goose and more acts also on the Day 2 lineup.
This year’s Bonnaroo kicked off Thursday (June 12) with performances from Luke Combs, Dom Dolla, Insane Clown Posse and Rebecca Black. If the festival proceeds as planned, the next two days will see Olivia Rodrigo, Avril Lavigne, Nelly, RAYE, Tyla, Arcade Fire, Hozier, GloRilla, Vampire Weekend, Remi Wolfe, Role Model, Alex Warren and more take various stages on the grounds.
