Rain Causes Bonnaroo Organizers To Reduce Camping Capacity

As music lovers gear up for Bonnaroo 2021 on Sept. 2-5 at Great Stage Park in Manchester, Tenn., the event’s organizers are reducing the festival’s camping capacity, in anticipation of “significant rain” from Hurricane Ida.

Organizers posted an update on Bonnaroo’s official social media accounts Monday evening (Aug. 30), stating, “Due to the expectation of significant rain on The Farm from Hurricane Ida, and the knowledge that areas of our campgrounds will be rendered unusable, Mother Nature has forced us to reduce our camping capacity.”

Previously, Bonnaroo delayed the opening of its campground area from Tuesday until Wednesday. Those who no longer wish to attend Bonnaroo this year can request a full refund, from now until Tuesday (Aug. 31) at 8 p.m. CT. All current ticket holders will receive an email from Front Gate Tickets with information on how to request a refund.

Among this year’s Bonnaroo performers are Deadmau5, Foo Fighters, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, My Morning Jacket, Run The Jewels, Young Thug and Tyler, The Creator.
