Bonnaroo 2026 Complete Guide: Dates, Lineup, Tickets, Camping, and What to Bring
Planning your first — or fifth — Bonnaroo? Here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 festival, from the headline acts to the best ways to get there and stay comfortable across four days in Manchester, Tennessee.
The Basics
Dates: June 12–15, 2026
Location: Great Stage Park, Manchester, TN (60 miles southeast of Nashville)
Headliners: Noah Kahan, The Strokes, Skrillex
Tickets
General Admission 4-Day passes start at $349. GA+ (shaded camping area access, separate entry lanes) runs around $479. VIP options with premium viewing areas, air-conditioned lounges, and dedicated parking are available from $899. Payment plans are available — a smart move since the full cost is significant. Tickets are sold exclusively through bonnaroo.com.
Getting There
From Nashville: approximately 65 miles via I-24 East. Expect heavy traffic on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning during arrival. Leave early or consider arriving Wednesday night. Shuttles are available from Nashville’s Nissan Stadium and Chattanooga for those who’d rather not drive.
What to Pack
Sunscreen (non-negotiable), a wide-brim hat, a reusable water bottle, rain gear, comfortable walking shoes, a wagon or cart for gear, a portable phone charger, cash for vendor tips, and layers for cool late nights. Grills with charcoal are allowed in car camping; alcohol is allowed in camping areas but not purchased inside Centeroo.
Pro Tips
Download the app before you lose signal. Study the set times in advance and make a loose itinerary. Give yourself permission to wander — some of the best Bonnaroo moments happen when you follow the sound rather than the schedule.
