Bonnaroo 2026: Sunday Storms Cancel 11 Sets, Aly & AJ Affected Again

9:22 PM EDT on June 14, 2026

It wouldn't be Bonnaroo if it were dry.

Due to lightning and rain in Manchester, TN today, the festival canceled sets by Nat Myers, Little Stranger, Buffalo Traffic Jam, Girl Tones, MOTIFV, Aly & AJ, Spacey Jane, Hemlocke Springs, Blondshell, A Hundred Drums, and Trombone Shorty.

Aly & AJ were also scheduled to play last year, when three of the festival's four days were canceled. "We love you Bonnaroo!" AJ Michalka said on the pop-rock duo's Instagram Stories. "We really think you should change the month your festival is, though. But no hard feelings." The sisters added in a post that they'll try again in 2027.

Michalka flew in from France, where she is filming a role in The White Lotus season 4.

Prior to last year's shutdown, Bonnaroo 2020 was called off along with most major festivals due to COVID-19, and the 2021 edition didn't happen because of flooding from Hurricane Ida. Severe weather also impacted the festival in 2024, but no sets were canceled.

Last summer, Bonnaroo shared a survey asking attendees whether they would consider dates later in the summer or in late September/early October. Bonnaroo ultimately kept its traditional mid-June dates for 2026. Tonight's performances, which will livestream on Hulu and Disney+, include Noah Kahan, Kesha, and Modest Mouse.

At least Bowl Of Cum (aka Geese) got to play on Friday:
