Bonnaroo Organizers Share Revised Refund Details Following Backlash From Attendees

Organizers of the 2025 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival are sharing updated refund details following the event’s abrupt cancellation due to severe weather.

In a social media post shared Friday (June 20), organizers announced that all ticket buyers will now receive a 100% refund, reversing an earlier decision to offer only 75%. They also noted that future dates for the Manchester, Tenn., event will not be announced at this time.

“We want you to know that were still listening and actively discussing plans to improve The Farm that we love so much,” the statement read on Instagram. “At this time, we will not be announcing future dates.”

Bonnaroo initially offered a 75% refund after heavy rains flooded campgrounds, forcing the four-day festival to shut down after just one day of performances. But after widespread backlash and an online petition demanding full refunds — which garnered more than 6,000 signatures, according to Nashville’s WZTV — organizers changed course.

The updated refund policy comes amid uncertainty about Bonnaroo’s future plans. “When plans for the future take shape, you all be the first to know,” the statement continued.

“Everyone who works on this show loves Bonnaroo deeply. Some of us have been here since the early years, some were fans first, and some are new but fell in love with it as soon as they felt your energy and spirit on The Farm. We look forward to this show all year. It’s what re-energizes us and restores our faith in community every single summer.”

Organizers added, “Our main goal is to give you the most memorable weekend of your lives every year. This cancellation broke our hearts beyond measure, but we knew it had to happen for your safety. Thank you for your patience and perseverance through this difficult situation.”

The 2025 edition of Bonnaroo launched on June 12, featuring performances from Luke Combs, Dom Dolla, Insane Clown Posse and Rebecca Black. But just a day later, severe thunderstorms prompted an evacuation notice, and the remainder of the festival was canceled. Other headliners scheduled for the canceled days included Tyler, The Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hozier.
