Manchester, Tennessee – The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee is about to kick off, attracting tens of thousands of fans to the 700-acre farm campground and concert venue this weekend for more than 150 performances. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Post Malone and Pretty Lights headline this massive annual event.
Concertgoers were facing a hot, sunny weekend at the Bonnaroo venue, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) southeast of Nashville. The annual four-day festival kicks off Thursday with live music on more than 10 stages. Performances last from evening until early morning, including sunrise.
Other performers include Megan Thee Stallion, Cage The Elephant, Maggie Rogers, Melanie Martinez, Khruangbin, Fred Again, Cigarettes After Sex, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Diplo and Carly Rae Jepsen.
Bonnaroo made its debut on a rural farm in Tennessee more than two decades ago. Over the years, it has had a diverse lineup, from Elton John and Jay Z to Paul McCartney, DeadMau5 and Bruce Springsteen. It also has a 24-hour cinema, comedy club, beer festival and theater performances.
Bonnaroo has approximately 80,000 visitors each year. Some of this year’s shows will be available on Hulu.
