Bonnaroo cancelled its 2025 edition on Friday; Thursday was held as scheduled, but on Friday the festival was suspended and evacuated early in the afternoon because of approaching “severe weather,” and eventually cancelled later in the evening. With the cancellation, they announced that they would give 4-day ticketholders a 75% refund. They’ve now shared an update, and said they will give 100% refunds to 4-day and 1-day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday ticketholders. They also say they won’t be announcing dates for a 2026 edition at this time. Here’s their statement:
We want you to know that we’re still listening and actively discussing plans to improve The Farm that we love so much. At this time, we will not be announcing future dates. When plans for the future take shape, you all will be the first to know.
For now, we are updating the refund to 100%, rather than the 75% originally offered.
The 100% refund applies to the following ticket types purchased via Front Gate Tickets:
- All 1-Day Friday, Saturday and Sunday Admission Tickets
- All 1-Day Friday, Saturday and Sunday Day Parking
- All 4-Day Admission Tickets
- All 4-Day Camping Accommodations
Everyone who works on this show loves Bonnaroo deeply. Some of us have been here since the early years, some were fans first, and some are new but fell in love with it as soon as they felt your energy and spirit on The Farm. We look forward to this show all year. It’s what reenergizes us and restores our faith in community every single summer.
Our main goal is to give you the most memorable weekend of your lives every year. This cancellation broke our hearts beyond measure, but we knew it had to happen for your safety. Thank you for your patience and perseverance through this difficult situation.

The festival also had shared a statement on Tuesday, which read, “Thank you Bonnaroovians and the entire Bonnaroo team. Last weekend did not go according to plan but together we got through it. Know that we are listening and reading every single comment. Bonnaroo is not a weekend on a farm in Tennessee – it’s all of you. We love you.”
