Every year, the Bonnaroo schedule drop marks the moment when anticipation turns into strategy. With four days of nonstop music across five stages, fans finally get to map out the marathon of sets, sunrise moments, and late-night surprises that make the Farm legendary.
The 2026 schedule announcement confirms that this year’s lineup will deliver everything Bonnaroo is known for: massive headliners, genre-blurring collaborations, and the kind of all-night energy that only happens when tens of thousands of people gather under the Tennessee sky.
This year’s festival returns June 11–14 on the 700-acre Bonnaroo Farm in Manchester, Tennessee, about an hour southeast of Nashville.
Major Headliners Across the Weekend
Bonnaroo 2026 brings together a diverse set of headliners spanning electronic, rock, indie, and pop.
Leading the charge this year are:
- Skrillex
- The Strokes
- RÜFÜS DU SOL
- Noah Kahan
These four headline slots reflect Bonnaroo’s signature blend of eras and genres — from indie rock icons to modern festival giants.
Beyond the headliners, the lineup is stacked with fan favorites including GRiZ, Teddy Swims, The Neighbourhood, Kesha, Role Model, Alabama Shakes, Passion Pit, and Japanese Breakfast, ensuring every day on the Farm offers can’t-miss performances.
The Return of Late-Night Bonnaroo Energy
Bonnaroo’s after-hours programming has always been one of the festival’s biggest draws, and 2026 is leaning into that tradition even more.
New additions to the After Hours lineup include: Ganja White Night, an additional Sunrise Set from INZO, among other late-night highlights including performances from Turnstile, Major Lazer, Cloonee, Lil Jon, The Dare, Chase & Status, Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist, and Gorgon City.
If you’ve ever watched the sun come up on the Farm after dancing all night, you already know — these are the moments Bonnaroo legends are made of.
The “Where Stage” Moves to Centeroo
One of the more interesting changes this year is the relocation of the fan-favorite Where Stage.
For the first time ever, the stage will move directly into Centeroo, placing its late-night sets right in the heart of the festival grounds.
Expect nonstop energy with performances from artists like: Eazybaked, Lumasi, Mary Droppinz, Big Gigantic, CloZee, Effin, and Smoakland. This move should make late-night wandering between stages easier than ever.
Camp Busyhead: A New Community Space
Another notable addition to the Bonnaroo experience this year is Camp Busyhead, a new community camp created in partnership with Noah Kahan’s Busyhead Project.
The camp will offer:
- Morning yoga sessions
- Wellness and self-care experiences
- Exclusive festival resources
- Community programming focused on mental health awareness
A portion of each Camp Busyhead pass will support initiatives working to end the stigma surrounding mental health.
SuperJam Returns with a Kesha-Led Pop Alchemy
Few Bonnaroo traditions are as beloved as the SuperJam, where artists collaborate on once-in-a-lifetime performances.
This year’s edition is titled:
“KESHA PRESENTS: SUPERJÂM ESOTERÍCA: THE ALCHEMY OF POP.”
Given Kesha’s theatrical energy and deep pop catalog, this could easily become one of the weekend’s most talked-about sets.
Upgrades and New Experiences on the Farm
Beyond the music, Bonnaroo continues to invest in improving the festival experience.
2026 upgrades include:
- Improved drainage across the grounds – key after last year’s rain out
- Miles of new roadways
- 135 acres of new turf
- The return of Bonnaroo Radio, featuring throwback sets, interviews, and live updates for fans arriving at the festival.
These improvements aim to make navigating the massive festival grounds smoother than ever.
Ticket Options for Bonnaroo 2026
For fans who can’t commit to the full four-day adventure, Bonnaroo is offering expanded ticket flexibility this year.
Available options include:
- 1-Day GA, GA+, VIP, and Platinum tickets
- 2-Day GA passes
- Traditional 4-Day passes
All tickets are available exclusively through the festival’s official website.
Bonnaroo Is Almost Here
With the schedule finally revealed, Bonnaroo season is officially underway. Whether you’re chasing sunrise sets, camping with friends, or sprinting between stages to catch your favorite artists, the Farm is once again preparing for four days of nonstop music and community.
One thing’s for sure: once June rolls around, the countdown will finally be over — and Bonnaroo 2026 will be ready to welcome everyone back home.
