Bonnaroo is officially returning in 2026 with a massive lineup after last year’s weather-forced cancellation. The festival revealed its headliners on December 2 with a billboard in downtown Nashville, confirming Skrillex, The Strokes, RÜFÜS DU SOL and Noah Kahan as the top acts for next year’s event.
The four-day festival will take place June 11–14, 2026, at the iconic 700-acre Farm in Manchester, Tennessee. Organizers say the comeback year will feature more than 100 artists across 10 stages, covering EDM, indie rock, pop, folk, punk and more.

Headliners and Daily Schedule
Skrillex will kick off Bonnaroo 2026 with the Thursday welcome party—his first appearance at the festival in 12 years—alongside Four Tet and Vince Staples.
The nightly headliners include:
- Friday: The Strokes
- Saturday: RÜFÜS DU SOL
- Sunday: Noah Kahan
Kesha will host this year’s Superjam titled “KESHA PRESENTS: SUPERJÂM ESOTERICÂ: THE ALCHEMY OF POP.” Meanwhile, “Weird Al” Yankovic brings late-night chaos with his “Bigger & Weirder Saturday Late Night Roovue.”
Standout Artists and Returning Fan Favorites
The lineup stretches far beyond the headliners, with confirmed acts such as GRiZ, Turnstile, Teddy Swims, The Neighbourhood, Yungblud, Role Model, Geese and Amyl & The Sniffers.
Folk-rock band Mt. Joy will finally perform on June 12 after missing their 2025 set due to the weather shutdown. Fans also cracked several “Roo Clues” leading up to the reveal, including empty wine glasses hinting at Role Model’s song “Sally, When The Wine Runs Out.”
Acts whose 2025 sets were canceled—Hozier, Vampire Weekend, Glass Animals and others—continue to spark speculation about additional announcements.

Upgrades After the 2025 Flood Shutdown
The 2025 festival was halted on June 13 after heavy rain hit Tennessee’s wettest year on record. With two more inches forecast, organizers evacuated 80,000 attendees mid-day, canceling the remaining two festival days.
For 2026, Bonnaroo has rolled out major upgrades to prevent another flood-related shutdown:
- Removal of flood-prone campsites
- Reduced overall capacity
- New and expanded stormwater systems
- 135 acres of new Bermuda grass turf
- Miles of upgraded roads
- Camping beginning Wednesday
- Centeroo fully programmed Friday–Sunday
- A revamped Where in the Woods UFO Stage replacing the Infinity Stage
These changes aim to ensure the music continues—rain or shine.
