Bonnaroo

Bonnaroo

 

Getting There.

Getting to Bonnaroo takes some planning, but don’t worry—we’ve outlined everything you need to know below.

  • Bonaroo is held in Manchester, Tennessee.

    1560 New Bushy Branch Rd. Manchester TN 37355

    Use Waze — there will be a heavy police presence.

  • 🚗 Navigating to Bonnaroo

    Set your GPS to:
    1560 New Bushy Branch Rd, Manchester, TN 37355

    We recommend using Waze for real-time updates — there will be lots of police presence on the drive down, so drive safe and make good choices.

    ⏱️ Arrival Time & Traffic Tips

    • Average wait time to enter is usually around 45 minutes, but this can change each year.

    • Get gas before reaching Manchester — traffic backs up near the entrance and gas stations can get crowded.

    🚨 Inspections & Rules

    • Every car will be inspected upon entry.

    • Review the official Bonnaroo Allowed & Prohibited List before packing.

    • Note: Centeroo has its own restrictions, so be sure to review those separately as well.

    🚙 Leaving on Monday

    • Expect delays if you leave between 7–8 AM — this is peak exit time.

    • To avoid traffic, leave before 6 AM or after 11 AM.

    • Exit flow varies each year, so keep an eye on the app and your camp neighbors.

  • Recommended Airport: Nashville international Airport (BNA). This is a 1hr 15 min drive to Bonaroo

    🚗 Renting a Car [Recommended]

    • Best for flexibility (especially if you're camping)

    • Make sure to add a car camping pass to your Bonnaroo order

    🚖 Uber / Lyft / Ride Share [Not recommended]

    • Drop-off/pick-up at designated lot near main gate

    • Long walk into campgrounds, so pack light. We would recommend a backpacking pack.

    • Schedule your rides ahead of time. Consider other options if possible

    🏕️ Camping Options for Flyers

    • Mars Colony Souvenir Tent (for 2 people) - your campsite will be ready

    • Groop Camping: Coordinate with friends ahead of time

    • Glamping / VIP: Already set up — ideal if you’re traveling light

Insider ROO

  1. Midnight fountain. It’s not official until you’re soaking wet and slightly confused.

  2. Best time for portos? 6 AM. Still gross, but less trauma.

  3. Don’t leave Sunday night. Unless traffic therapy is your thing.

  4. Saturday = mental breakdown day. Power through. Sunday heals.

  5. 3 AM arch photos hit different. You, your friends, and no line.

  6. Silent Disco

  7. People actually get married here. Yes, it’s legal. Yes, there’s glitter.

  8. “Where’s My Tent?” isn’t a question. It’s a landmark.

  9. There’s a slip ‘n slide somewhere. You’ll know it when you see it.

  10. SuperJam = never skip. Doesn’t matter who’s playing.

  11. “It’s just over that hill.” No, it’s not. Bring water.

  12. Kandi isn’t currency. Trade with vibes, not value.

  13. Don’t promise to meet someone “by the arch.” You and 10,000 other people had the same idea.

  14. Bring earplugs. Not for sleep — for That Tent’s bass at 3 AM.

  15. Shower if you want, just don’t expect to. Wet wipes: 4-day MVP.

  16. If your tent isn’t staked, it’s now a kite. Congrats.

  17. Portable charger? Great. Just don’t lose your phone anyway.

  18. Don’t bring your expensive sunglasses. You’ll cry when they hit the porto.

  19. You won’t wear half the outfits you packed. You will wear the same tank 3 days straight.

  20. Bring electrolytes or chapstick

  21. Don’t chase the schedule. Bonnaroo happens between the sets.

  22. Duct tape. Pack some. You’ll need it at some point.

  23. Lose your friends? Make new ones. You’re at Bonnaroo.

  24. Leave no trace. Seriously.

  25. Bring a small towel. For sweat. For shade. For crying.

  26. Get to Centeroo early the first day. Get the lay of the land.

  27. Camp neighbors are part of the festival. Be the good one.

  28. Go off-grid. Then tell stories about it later.
