After an early lineup release for the 2026 edition of the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, the fest has continued filling in the details of what we can expect on The Farm this June. With wristbands now beginning to ship out, the full schedule live, and the smaller details hitting social media, you can feel how close we are to returning home.
We’ve rounded up all the information that has been released since our initial Bonnaroo lineup announcement preview so you can catch up all in one place:
Schedule + Set Times Now Available
With the schedule now available, the biggest takeaway is how quickly conflicts stack up across stages. For us, Saturday already presents a difficult overlap with Alabama Shakes, Passion Pit, and Deathpact landing on top of each other, but Sunday may be even tighter. Kesha, Modest Mouse, Mariah the Scientist, and LSZEE are all scheduled within the same window. [insert crying here] While we may try to catch part of each of those sets, our advice is to go where the mood strikes you. Some of our favorite Bonnaroo moments have happened thanks to last minute changes or just wandering off in an unknown direction.
Beyond individual conflicts, the overall flow of the weekend is clearer. Thursday builds into a focused late-night run led by Skrillex on the What Stage, while Friday and Saturday carry the densest programming across Which, This, and That, making overlap unavoidable by mid-afternoon.
More details have also emerged around Kesha’s SuperJâm Esoteríca: The Alchemy of Pop, which now includes appearances from Blondshell, Chromeo, Del Water Gap, Grouplove, Margo Price, Mountain Grass Unit, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and Wyatt Flores. Unlike a normal festival set, Bonnaroo’s SuperJam is built around one-off collaborations that typically never happen again in the same form, making the annual tradition a genuine “you had to be there” memory.
New Festival Grounds Maps Have Been Released
We’ll just leave them here and let you explore. The most notable changes aren’t surprising. We were already told That Tent was moving into the What Field. Now we can see that the area where That Stage used to sit will be the home of Bonnie Roo’s Brews & Sports Bar (more below). Where the craft beer bar used to sit will allow additional space for the transplanted Where Stage (also more below).
Late Night Expands Across Centeroo and Beyond; Additional Outeroo Announcements
Late-night programming continues to expand this year. An additional sunrise set has been confirmed with INZO, while Ganja White Night joins the after-hours lineup.
The “Where” stage is also moving into Centeroo, bringing the flying saucer setup from Where in the Woods into a more central location. The stage features a rotating lineup across Friday and Saturday, including EAZYBAKED, Lumasi, Big Gigantic, and CloZee. Some of these sets are scheduled to continue even after the sunrise slots, extending the overnight run well into the morning and further blurring the line between late night and daytime programming. While we are sad to see the end of the WITW late night craziness, there’s something to be said about a more open stage setup that will allow more people to attend (and feel less cramped).
That expanded approach carries over into other areas as well. House of Yes is no longer confined to a single space, with programming now spread across Plaza 3 and Snake & Jake’s Love Shack. Themed events run each night with rotating performers, DJs, and interactive elements, reinforcing a more integrated late-night experience across the festival grounds.
The full Outeroo schedule is now live as well, including Wednesday programming for early arrivals and expanded campground activity throughout the weekend. The GROOP Plaza schedule in particular highlights a number of smaller emerging artists, continuing Bonnaroo’s long-running focus on discovery outside of Centeroo.
Outside of the music, Bonnaroo is also introducing Bonnie Roo’s Brews & Sports Bar. This is a new format for the beloved craft beer tent, adding a sports bar option for downtime between sets. The area will feature rotating pours from breweries including Sierra Nevada, Athletic Brewing, Other Half, WeldWerks, Tripping Animals, and Knoxville’s XUL Beer Company.
The Roo Run returns on Saturday morning at 9:00 AM, once again offering…checks notes…an additional opportunity to exercise if 45,000 steps a day isn’t already enough. You can sign up here.
Camping Updates and Community Spaces
Camping options continue to evolve heading into 2026. Bonnaroo is introducing Camp Busyhead in partnership with Noah Kahan and The Busyhead Project, creating a shared space built around a specific artist community and cause.
You will also see the familiar core community camps making a comeback: The Beyond (a camping area created with female-identified and gender non-binary Bonnaroovians in mind), SoloRoo, SoberRoo and FamilyRoo are all back to provide a more structured setting where connection, support, and accessibility are front and center.
Planet Roo programming also returns with a full schedule of wellness, sustainability, and community-focused events throughout the weekend. The Academy and How Stage lineups feature yoga, meditation, workshops, nonprofit-led discussions, and creative sessions designed to give attendees a break from the nonstop pace of Centeroo while reinforcing Bonnaroo’s broader community identity.
Bonnaroo is also crowdsourcing songs for the Arch playlist, which plays continuously throughout the weekend as attendees move in and out of Centeroo. If anyone wrote a song in memory of the Squarch, we certainly hope you submit it.
Tickets and Merch
Bonnaroo has also expanded its ticketing options beyond the standard four-day passes. The fest has now added one-day and two-day tickets. The two-day option is currently offered as a GA pass, providing a more flexible way to attend select portions of the weekend without committing to all four days. All ticket options are available through the Bonnaroo website.
Merch is also now available through the official store ahead of the festival, with this year’s designs already live. Centeroo lockers are also now available for reservations.
Together, all of these updates add up to one thing: It’s almost time for Bonnaroo 2026!!
