independent thoughts on indie rock, alternative, and indie pop music
Weather delays threatened to bring Bonnaroo 2026 to an early close, but Sunday ultimately became one of the festival's most memorable days. From Nat Myers and Big Gigantic to LSZEE and Noah Kahan, the music won in the end.
Saturday at Bonnaroo 2026 was packed with impossible schedule conflicts and unforgettable moments, from Waylon Wyatt and Amyl and the Sniffers to Alabama Shakes, Kesha’s SuperJam, Sara Landry, CloZee, and a sunrise finish with Gorgon City!
From Lambrini Girls' unforgettable mud pit to Goldie Boutilier's cinematic performance, Dora Jar's artistic unpredictability, and Blues Traveler's timeless jams, Friday showcased the many sides of Bonnaroo.
Bonnaroo returned with a celebratory opening night featuring standout performances from Spiritual Cramp, Vince Staples, Four Tet, and Skrillex, plus a late-night surprise set that kept the Farm dancing into the early morning.
