Bonnaroo 2025 cancelled after just one night due to severe storms days after co-founder's death
The remainder of music festival Bonnaroo has been cancelled due to weather just days after the death of one of its co-founders. Set to run through Sunday at Bonnaroo Farm in Manchester, Tennessee, the music festival was cancelled Friday evening after hours of delays and even an evacuation notice. 'Today, the National Weather Service provided us with an updated forecast with significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days,' Bonnaroo shared via Instagram. 'We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo.' The festival promised at least partial refunds for all ticket holders, many of whom paid hundreds of dollars to attend. Luke Combs was the only of the four headliners to deliver a performance. He took the stage Thursday night and performed alongside fellow country star Miranda Lambert onstage, as well as Marcus King and Jon Bellion. The other headliners, Tyler, the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo and Hozier, have all had their sets cancelled. Additional performers slated to take the stage included Vampire Weekend, GloRilla, Tyla, Avril Lavigne, Queens of the Stone Age, John Summit, Dom Dolla, and Glass Animals. 'We have put our hearts and souls into making this weekend the most special one of the year, and cannot express how crushed we are to have made this decision,' Bonnaroo's statement concluded. 'Thank you in advance for your patience, your positivity and your unfailing Bonnaroovian spirit.' Many fans were disappointed by the cancellation, with some noting it wasn't the first time in recent years attendees found themselves in this situation. 'Wondering what this means for the future of bonnaroo honestly. 3 cancellations in 5 years isn't looking good for us,' one fan wrote on Instagram. 'First and last bonnaroo. Absolute s*** show, not to mention not a speck of rain was seen after they cancelled,' another shared, while someone else agreed: 'Literally spent THOUSANDS of dollars flying from Hawaii……. first roo and most likely my last.' The fan-favorite festival's last minute cancellation came days after the death of one of its co-founders. Jonathan Mayers, who helped create a number of major American festivals, died earlier this week at 51. No cause of death has yet been announced. In a statement to Billboard, Red Light Management founder Coran Capshaw said: 'This is incredibly tough news for so many of us. Jon was the creative force behind so much of what people experience at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, and many other events over the years. We're all really going to miss him.' Mayers co-founded promotions company Superfly with partners Rick Farman, Richard Goodstone and Kerry Black in 1996. They hosted their first concert during Mardi Gras. The four worked together to launch Bonnaroo in 2002 after securing the festival site on farmland in Manchester, an hour outside of Nashville. They worked closely with Capshaw's Red Light Management and other industry figures to book headliners, including the Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. In 2008, Mayers partnered with Another Planet Entertainment to create the Outside Lands festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Mayers left Superfly acrimoniously in 2021, and the following year sued his former partners Farman, Goodstone and Black, accusing them of civil misrepresentation, breach of contract and fraud. Mayers alleged that they had misrepresented the value of his shares in the promotions company. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2023. Superfly said in a statement to Billboard: 'We are heartbroken with the passing of Jonathan. He was a cherished part of Superfly's story, woven into it's history and legacy. In addition to the role he's played in bringing joy to millions, we will miss his razor sharp wit, infectious smile and contagious laugh. No one could light up a room like Jon.'

Alaska Issued With First Ever Heat Advisory
Alaska has been issued its first ever heat advisory by the National Weather Service (NWS) as an unusual surge of high temperatures grips parts of the state. This weekend, parts of The Lost Frontier State-including areas around Fairbanks-are expected to climb into the mid-80s, with some locations potentially nearing 90 degrees Fahrenheit. "We have issued a Heat Advisory for the Fairbanks Area this Sunday afternoon/evening. Temperatures are expected to reach as high as 86F, so be sure to take extra precautions if outdoors," NWS Fairbanks wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday afternoon. The advisory underscores the intensifying impacts of climate change in even the most traditionally cold parts of the United States. Alaska's infrastructure, wildlife, and communities are not built to withstand prolonged heat, raising concerns about public health, wildfires, and ecosystem disruption. Heat stress is the leading weather-related cause of death, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Temperatures will be pushed into the mid-to-upper 80s by Sunday. This is around 10 to 15 degrees above average for the region where normal highs in Fairbanks sit around 72 degrees. This is officially the first heat advisory ever issued in Alaska, but there's a reason why it hasn't happened until now. As of June 2, the NWS offices in Fairbanks and Juneau were granted the authority to issue heat advisories, a change aimed at better communicating the risks posed by extreme heat in a state more familiar with subzero temperatures than sweltering afternoons. According to the new criteria, a heat advisory can be issued when temperatures are expected to reach at least 85 degrees in the interior, 80 degrees in the southeast, and 75 degrees on the North Slope. Sunday's forecast for Fairbanks and its surrounding areas barely clears that threshold, but meteorologists say that doesn't make it any less significant. Experts have warned that the state's buildings, designed to retain warmth in harsh winters, lack air conditioning and ventilation, making even moderate heat potentially dangerous. Climatologist Brian Brettschneider noted on Bluesky that these design choices, critical in winter, can pose some risks when the mercury rises. The advisory goes into effect from 1 to 7 p.m. local time on Sunday. NWS Fairbanks wrote in a post on X earlier this week: "Summer-like temperatures are expected to continue for much of Interior AK this weekend, with most areas seeing temperatures in the upper 70s & low 80s. There's a chance for some isolated showers & thunderstorms this weekend, but mainly for the eastern Interior. Enjoy AK!" Alaskans are being urged to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity, and check on vulnerable individuals. The risk is particularly acute for older adults, young children, and those with pre-existing health conditions.

Will air quality at Philly, Bucks County No Kings protests be affected by NJ forest fire?
The wildfire in the Wharton State Forest in Shamong, Burlington County, NJ, has created unhealthy breathing conditions in parts of Bucks, Delaware and Chester counties and Philadelphia. authorities said Saturday morning, June 14. On Saturday at 10:18 a.m., an air quality alert was reported by the National Weather Service in effect until Sunday at midnight for Bucks County.

Late Saturday morning, the most hazardous air conditions were reported to be moving south of Bucks County and Philadelphia, which is hosting the nation's 'flagship' No Kings protest. No Kings event in Bucks: Where are No Kings protests in Bucks County, Philadelphia? What's No Kings anti-Trump rally? The forecasted Saturday rain will also help dissipate the bad air conditions, according to CBS Philadelphia. The wildfire, reported by a private pilot on Friday morning, had burned approximately 4,200 acres, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service said at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. It said firefighters were "making progress" in containing the blaze. The Mines Spung Wildfire was burning near the Carranza Memorial. The stone monument honors Emilio Carranza Rodriguez, a Mexican aviator who died in a crash at the Pinelands site in 1928. The blaze forced the evacuation of the Costello Preparatory Academy, a state-run community home for males ages 15 to 20 with a history of substance abuse. The facility has about 30 residents, according to the state Attorney General's Office. The fire's cause was under investigation. Jim Walsh of contributed to this story. .
