What improvements is The Farm undergoing for Bonnaroo 2026?

On July 17, Bonnaroo announced on social media that the festival would return in 2026, butwith some changes. Campsites in flood-prone areas will no longer be used, leading to reduced capacity.

Camping entry will now begin on Wednesday — later than previous years — and stages in Centeroo will only be fully programmed Friday through Sunday, eliminating Thursday, which will now include a welcome party with a headliner.

According to a November video on Bonnaroo's Instagram, the festival has worked to improve its grounds through turf management during the off-season. They've seeded 135 acres of Bermuda grass and plan to improve some of the stormwater management systems site-wide. They are also significantly expanding the road system.
