Bonnaroo has shocked fans with the early reveal of its 2026 lineup, over a month ahead of its traditional January reveal. The festival, held annually in Manchester, Tennessee, will return from 18th to 21st June, 2026, following the cancellation of its 2025 edition due to extreme weather. Headlining the four-day event are Skrillex, The Strokes, Rufus Du Sol and Noah Kahan.

Other major highlights include Kesha’s “Superjam Esoterica: The Alchemy of Pop,” a themed collaboration show she’s also performing in on Sunday, and the return of “Weird Al” Yankovic for a special late-night set. The streamlined Thursday schedule features Four Tet, Vince Staples, Spiritual Cramp and Skrillex. From Friday to Sunday, the bill is packed with acts such as Turnstile, GRiZ, Alabama Shakes, Teddy Swims, Modest Mouse, Passion Pit, Japanese Breakfast, and returning favourites Aly & AJ and Noah Kahan.

After the record rainfall that washed out the 2025 event, organisers faced pressure from disappointed fans. Live Nation responded with full refunds and opened public surveys to guide the festival’s future direction. The revamped 2026 edition appears to reflect that feedback—offering a tighter lineup, genre variety, and high-profile names across all three main days.

Tickets for Bonnaroo 2026 go on sale at 10am CST on Friday, 5th December. With the early announcement and stacked bill, anticipation is already building for a much-needed return to “The Farm.” Fans are hopeful that this bold new chapter will set a high bar for the festival’s comeback.
