One of the OG’s of the modern-day music festival scene, Bonnaroo debuted in 2002 and has since grown into one of the planet’s most recognizable festival experiences. Camping fields littered with thousands of attendees and surprise collaborations you won’t find elsewhere, Bonnaroo has been one of the more unique and quality festival experiences in the United States.
The fest is held annually during the summer just outside of Manchester, Tennessee, a small town an hour to the southeast of Nashville. It’s hot and humid, so prepare accordingly as you navigate the other 100,000 attendees at one of the country’s largest festivals. Past artists include Widespread Panic, Phish, Dead & Company, Pearl Jam, Billy Joel, Elton John, Mumford & Sons, Eminem, Jack White, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Bob Dylan.
