Learn About What’s New for Bonnaroo 2021
Bonnaroo season is upon us once again which means it’s time to share all the amazing updates that are in store for us for Bonnaroo 2021! As always, there are big things upon us this year with stage updates, amazing lineups, bigger activities, and so much more. I’m sharing the updates that have been shared with us for Bonnaroo 2021 (thus far).
With COVID-19 still relatively fresh in people’s minds, it’s been a burning question how events are going to handle the needs of social distancing, while also handling the needs of their attendees. Where some festivals may shy away from the challenge, Bonnaroo (and promoters) took the opportunity to step up to the challenge and ALSO upgraded the venue, artists, and activities while they were at it.
Updates to Getting in Line
In Bonnaroo 2019, and previous years, camping spot delegations were a mystery. For 2021, Bonnaroo is changing up how they’re “placing people” for spots as they enter. In order to get into the grounds, a Bonnaroo camping ticket is required, and for 2021 attendees are required to purchase a ticket for entrance on a specific day. This also means, the earlier your “entrance day” the better a spot you’ll have to Centroo. This is because they’re filling the campgrounds from front to back this year! Another addition to the “line” situation will be that attendees are able to buy daily entry passes.
Although the line will be divided up amongst several days, please make sure you properly prepare! The Bonnaroo festival line! can be a beast- so don’t go in unknowning. There’s tons of details available about the line and Bonnaroo security over in the Bonnaroo festival guide to help you all out! So, regardless of the day, be prepared to wait just in case!
Inside the Venue Updates
Outside of just making changes to how you get into the festival, Bonnaroo has several upgrades inside the venue to create a better experience for everyone. I feel like a lot of these changes come from years of attendee feedback, so it’s exceptionally nice to see them implement some changes. The big ones are going to be FREE, 24/7 transportation, as well as upgrades to the stages that (IMO) were long over-due.
Stages Upgrades
This has been highly anticipated for me, so I’m excited to announce that the Which Stage is getting some upgrades! Think bigger screens, larger speakers, and better bass. Although the Which Stage isn’t their premier “EDM” stage, this is the stage to catch gam sessions (i.e. Griz SuperJam in 2019).
Around the Campgrounds
If you’ve been to Bonnaroo before, then you know there’s a lot of walking involved. Having the best rave shoes for festival season is my first pro tip. The next is to make sure you catch the JamTrak while you’re in the grounds. JamTrak is a free shuttle service that’s going to be running 24/7 for free!
This is only the beginning! Bonnaroo continues to upgrades their venue every year so we’re always in for a treat when the time comes.
