Thunderstorm Halts Bonnaroo Sunday for Three Hours, Reshuffles Schedule
A thunderstorm forced a three-hour shutdown and schedule change at Bonnaroo on Sunday. Festival officials evacuated attendees early Sunday afternoon at the Manchester, Tennessee, event.
Bonnaroo dodged much of the worst weatherwise this weekend on The Farm in Manchester, Tennessee, but a thunderstorm did force a three-hour shutdown and a schedule shakeup Sunday.
A line of storms pushed across the festival grounds early Sunday afternoon, prompting officials to evacuate Centeroo around 2 p.m.. Music resumed at 5:30 p.m.
Most acts had their set times pushed by an hour but a handful — Aly & AJ, Trombone Shorty, Spacey Jane, Hemlock Springs, Blondshell and A Hundred Drums — were cut,
It’s the second straight year Aly & AJ saw their set nixed at Bonnaroo.
Though a brief frog-strangler turned the grounds muddy Friday, sunny skies persisted much of the weekend.
Bonnaroo has been cancelled outright three times in the last six years: once for COVID and twice for severe weather.
