As per reports, the main area of the festival, which is called Centeroo, was evacuated at 1:30 CT in the afternoon.
The festival released a statement on their app on Friday, revealing the remaining days had been called off.
The statement on the app read: "We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo."
Then, on Instagram, they issued further details.
They said: "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."
They continued: "We are going to make things right with you, and you will find refund information at the end of this message, but let's start with the next steps.
"The number one thing we need from the Bonnaroo community is patience.

"Some of your fellow campers' sites are in rough shape.
"The rain has settled in areas and made certain parts of Outeroo difficult to manage."
They added: "We'd like to prioritize getting those folks as well as those with accessibility needs off The Farm as soon as possible this evening.
"To do this, we ask that if your campsite is in good shape or if you're in an RV or pre-pitched accommodation, please consider spending the night with us and we'll start working to get you out of here safely tomorrow."
The statement concluded: "We will continue to operate as usual in Outeroo including food vendors and all health and safety infrastructure.

Sabrina's aunt is actress Nancy Cartwright - better known as Bart Simpson. Nancy, 67, has been voicing cartoon character Bart for more than three decades, making it her longest-running acting role. And as well as Bart, she also provides the voices of Maggie Simpson, Ralph Wiggum, Todd Flanders, and Nelson Muntz. READ MORE ON SABRINA CARPENTER HOG WILD Sabrina Carpenter strips down to her bra and underwear for a bath with PIGS Nancy has a long list of other acting and voiceover credits to her name - some of which date back long before Sabrina was born. As well as The Simpsons, Nancy has starred in movies including The Twilight Zone and Godzilla, and TV shows such as Cheers, 24 and The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. She also voiced the character of Chuckie Finster in the 90s Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats. Sabrina's father, David Carpenter, is Nancy's step-brother - and some fans have only just worked out the family connection. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one person in the know declared, "Interesting side note for those who don't know. Sabrina Carpenter's Aunt is Nancy Cartwright... Aka Bart Simpson." Someone replied, "I did not know that!" Sabrina Carpenter strips down to her bra and underwear for a bath with PIGS as she announces new album Another person posted, "Just found out that the voice of Bart Simpson (Nancy Cartwright) is not only a Scientologist but also Sabrina Carpenter's aunt??" A third said, "Sabrina's aunt is Bart Simpson!" And a fourth admitted, "How the f*** am I just finding out Sabrina Carpenter is Nancy Cartwright's niece?" 'Cool' aunt Nancy has actually confirmed her relationship with Sabrina in a TikTok video after being asked by a fan, "Is Sabina Carpenter your niece?" Speaking last year, Nancy said, "Yeah, absolutely. "Isn't that amazing when you find out that somebody that maybe... "You've known me for a little while doing this little 10 year old boy for, like, 35 some years. And for some of you guys, way less than that. "And you find out I'm related to this, like, superstar!" Nancy added, "She's pretty amazing." Sabrina has also spoken about her aunt and said growing up with her voicing Bart Simpson was "the coolest thing". In an interview with Captial FM, she said, "My whole life, that was just like the coolest thing in the world to me. I wasn't even allowed to watch the show until I was a little bit older! "The woman is a woman of many talents, not just Bart. She always blows me away. " Sabrina also revealed how Nancy would pull it out of the bag during family meals out. "When we were in a restaurant, she didn't do it all the time, but there were a couple of times when we couldn't get a table and she'd be like, 'Hey, man, I'm Bart Simpson. What the hell's going on?'" she added. 5 Nancy Cartwright has been the voice of Bart Simpson since 1989 5 Sabrina said it was 'so cool' to have Nancy as her aunt growing up Credit: Instagram

Love Island legend ditches her underwear and reveals intimate tattoo in sexy dress at Parklife Festival
The star is single again after a recent split show stopper Love Island legend ditches her underwear and reveals intimate tattoo in sexy dress at Parklife Festival Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORMER Love Island star Anna Vakili has pulled out all the stops - and tan lines - and flashed a saucy bit of skin in a slashed dress. The reality TV contestant dared to bare in a figure-hugging cut-out number at Manchester's Parklife Festival. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 The striking star showed off her hip tattoo in the barely-there dress Credit: Getty 5 The Love Islander displayed a white tan line in the show-stopper Credit: Getty The brunette bombshell showed off her intimate tattoo in the revealing black cut-away dress as she enjoyed her day out. Held at Heaton Park, the Love Island star, 34, looked high-fashion at the two-day event where acts including 50 Cent, Charli XCX and Rudimental performed. The podcaster wore her long dark highlighted hair slicked back into a chic ponytail with gold hoops earrings. Wearing natural glossy make-up, the star looked more red carpet primed than down-and-dirty festival ready. Reality star Anna was joined at the music spectacular by reality stars Matilda Draper and Demi Sims at SHEIN's VIP party. She was joined by her sister Mandi who looked equally glam in a strapless blue mini dress and trainers. They mingled amongst fellow Love Islanders including Nicole Samuel, Jessy Potts, Kaz Crossley and Matilda Draper. Also on hand were Towie's Frankie and Demi Sims looking dressed to impress. Vakili shot to fame after appearing on Love Island in 2019 - but she failed to find love in the villa. She has since been in an on-off relationship with boyfriend Cowslick. Love Island star SPLITS from boyfriend just months after getting back together However, they've recently split shortly after getting back together. Earlier this year, she revealed that she'd dropped out of the last series of All Stars Love Island at the last minute. She explained that even though she went through the whole process to appear on the ITV2 show - including multiple meetings and STD and drug testing - it wasn't for her again. Looking for serious love, she told fans that she decided against it saying 'the kind of man I want to settle down with wouldn't really want a woman that's going on Love Island'. Anna recently posted a photo in a hospital gown, and revealed she'd completed her first round of egg freezing. The pharmacist admitted that although appearing on the 2019 series changed her life for the better financially, returning to the show would be "greedy". "The guy that I would want to marry now, would look down on that 'why you on there snogging different guys in a bikini'. "I'm a 34-year-old woman." It comes after Anna spoken candidly about a series of botched procedures she had in the hope of getting her 'perfect' body. She also revealed how much money she has wasted and what she has had done including three BBLs [Brazilian Bum Lift] and a boob job. Along with her sister Mandi, the pair host the popular podcast Sisters In The City. 5 Anna and her podcasting sister Mandi looked glam at the festival Credit: Getty 5 The newly-single star posed up a storm at Heaton Park VIP area Credit: Getty

‘It's more frustration with you guys' – Rory McIlroy explains skipping media in tense interview after US Open nightmare
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RORY MCILORY insists he's "earned the right to do whatever I want to do" after snubbing the press after his first two US Open Rounds. The Masters champion declined to speak to the world's media after his first two rounds at Oakmont in an apparent response to the coverage of his use of an illegal driver at last month's PGA Championship. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Roy McIlory refused to speak to the media after his firs two rounds at the US Open Credit: EPA 4 The Northern Irishman was seemingly frustrated at the media's coverage of his use of an illegal driver at the PGA Championship Credit: GETTY 4 The 36-year-old vented his frustrations with the media after his third round on Saturday Credit: SKY SPORTS The 36-year-old eventually spoke with the press after his four-over 74 round on Saturday and didn't hold back in his first post-round interview since Augusta. He said of his brief blackout: "It's just frustration with you guys [some sections of the media]. "I have been totally available for the past number of years. "That [driver issue] was a part of it, but at Augusta, I skipped you guys on Thursday. READ MORE ON RORY MCILROY DRIVEN MAD McIlroy launches club and smashes tee box as Sky Sports commentators disgusted It's not out of the ordinary as I've done it before, but I am doing it a little more often. "I feel like I've earned the right to do whatever I want to do." McIlroy's form has fallen off a cliff since sealing his career Grand Slam in April. He looked certain to miss the cut — like defending champion Bryson DeChambeau and plenty of other big names — until he conjured two birdies in the last four holes of his second round. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS Inside Rory McIlroy's whirlwind love life RORY MCILROY enjoyed a high-profile romance with former tennis world number one Caroline Wozniacki before their split in 2014. The following year, the golf ace began dating Erica Stoll, who he had first met on the PGA Tour in 2011. Erica often interacted with players through her role as the PGA's manager of championship volunteer operations. She even prevented McIlroy from missing his tee time at the 2012 Ryder Cup after some confusion over the time zone. The incident began a firm friendship between the pair, four years before their relationship turned romantic. McIlroy and Erica were spotted on a string of dates in Rochester, New York, in the early days of their relationship. Just eight months later, the couple got engaged in Paris and walked down the aisle at Ashford Castle in Ireland in 2017. The pair then welcomed daughter Poppy into the world three years later. Throughout their time together, McIlroy and Erica have kept their relationship to themselves, with the golfer keen to protect his family from the cameras during filming of Netflix's Full Swing documentary series. However, after seven years of marriage, McIlroy filed for divorce from Erica. The reasons for the divorce were not disclosed, but the Northern Irishman submitted documents to a court in Florida. However, a few weeks later, performed a U-turn on their decision to divorce. McIlroy told the outlet: "Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.' And McIlory admitted his lack of motivation is so bad that he would not have worried if he had missed the cut. He said: 'I was thinking, 'Do I really want two more days here?'. So it makes it easier to play better in that mindset. Rory McIlroy reacts to PGA Championship delay 'You don't know how you're going to react to something like my Masters win — something I'd dreamt about for a long time. And, yeah, I have felt a little flat on the golf course afterwards. 'I actually feel I've played OK this week. It's a golf course where the tiniest mistakes get penalised.' Given his mindset, it is no surprise McIlroy's faint US Open hopes vanished with a whimper rather than a roar. A four-over-par 74 kept the Northern Irishman among the back markers, and in this mood, he will do well to improve on his 47th-place finish at the USPGA a few weeks ago. At times, it has looked as if McIlroy has been going through the motions since Augusta, especially when he finished 149th out of 153 finishers in the Canadian Open last week. Sadly, Oakmont has proved another example of McIlroy playing without his usual drive and desire. It was hard to avoid the suspicion that he set out yesterday knowing he was unlikely to make significant inroads on the nine-shot gap that separated him from 36-hole leader Sam Burns — especially on a front nine that has proved a minefield for the world No 2. McIlroy played the opening stretch in NINE OVER PAR over the first two days, while shooting three under on the back nine. The front nine is the tougher half — but not that much harder. I feel like I've earned the right to do whatever I want to do." Rory McIlory on his brief media blackout Marc Leishman and Corey Conners, in the groups just behind McIlroy, underlined that fact by both playing the first nine holes in three under yesterday, although both found it much tougher after the turn. McIlroy needed a fast start to round three to have any chance of a miracle fightback, but a bogey on the third meant he was quickly heading in the wrong direction. Another shot went at the ninth and even though he finally made his first birdie at the tenth, he gave it straight back by finding a bunker on the 11th. A rueful shrug of the shoulders was the only reaction when he missed a tiddler for par at the 14th. And another shot went with a three-putt on the 16th. The relatively easy 17th, where he demolished the tee marker 24 hours earlier, yielded a second birdie. Almost inevitably, that shot was handed back at the last, dropping the five-time Major winner to ten over. Asked what he was hoping for in his final round, McIlroy added: "Hopefully a round in under four and a half hours and get out of here."
