After a day of rain, the organizers of Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival 2025 in Manchester, Tennessee have called the whole thing off. In a statement released on Friday evening, organizers said, "Significant and steady precipitation [...] will deteriorate camping and egress conditions in the coming days. We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo." The festival grounds, known as the Farm to attendees, saw rounds of showers and storms beginning early in the afternoon with the heaviest rain falling between 3-4 p.m. A steady rain continued into the evening hours, before tapering off Friday night. "The city of Manchester saw close to 1 inch of rain total," meteorologist Tiffany Savona noted. Some festival goers were less than thrilled with the decision. "What happened to the day when we kept on living through the weather? These days we shut down for everything it makes no sense," one commenter replied to the announcement. Though a single inch of rain might not sound like a dangerous situation to some of us,footage from the campgroundsconfirmed that flooding and mud were a serious concern. Streams of rainwater and mud puddles in campsites grew overnight, though that didn't stop some festivalgoers from making the most of the situation. Shirtless and in swimsuits, many were seendivingandplayingin the mud. It has been a particularly rainy springaround the country, including for Tennessee. The month of May was the third rainiest on record for the state.
