Bonnaroo 2025 canceled due to weather. Will the festival offer refunds? What to know
In the midst of severe weather, Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee has canceled the remainder of the festival.
"We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo," the festival posted on social media around 7:30 p.m. on June 13.
The festival cites "significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions" as the reason behind the cancellation.
Performances were suspended starting around 1 p.m. on June 13 as severe weather began to move through the area.
"Centeroo and the tolls are closed until the weather has passed. Please remain in a vehicle," officials said in a post on X.
With a chance of showers and thunderstorms every day of the festival, the festival officials had been preparing for the threat of severe weather, they said.
Yes, the festival will offer refunds.
In a post on X, Bonnaroo posted their updated refund policy for this year:
All 1-Day Friday, Saturday and Sunday Admission Tickets purchased via Front Gate Tickets and 1-Day Friday, Saturday and Sunday Day Parking purchased via Front Gate Tickets will be refunded.
All 4-Day Admission Tickets purchased via Front Gate Tickets will receive a 75% refund.
All 4-Day camping accommodations purchased via Front Gate Tickets will receive a 75% refund.
The festival posted on social media that all refunds will be processed in as little as 30 days to the original method of payment.
In 2020, Bonnaroo was canceled due to COVID-19, and refunds were issued. In 2021, Bonnaroo was canceled due to severe flooding from Hurricane Ida.
Refunds were issued for both years of the canceled festival.
