After a two-year long hiatus - one due to the pandemic and the other due to weather - Bonnaroo is back and better than ever. Bonnaroo has paid close attention to fan feedback throughout its history in order to best enhance the onsite experience, each year integrating new features and exciting upgrades to the overall event. Bonnaroo 2022 will see the debut of an array of additional activities and site improvements, including enhanced signage, way finding help, pedicabs, info booths, cooling stations, and much more.
What’s New at Bonnaroo
This year will also see the introduction of Bonnaroo Daily Entry Camping Passes, a new system required for all vehicles and campers that will drastically cut wait times entering the festival site. GA ticket-buyers will be required to secure a vehicle pass by day for either Tuesday, Wednesday, or Weekend access from Thursday through Sunday. The earlier campers arrive, the closer they will camp in proximity to Centeroo. This year’s Bonnaroo will see getting around the festival made easier and more convenient than ever before with the arrival of Jamtrak Powered by Allegiant, a free on-site transport system enabling attendees to easily travel day or night to and from Centeroo and the far away parts of the site. Bonnaroo 2022 will also see a number of stage improvements, including a spectacular production makeover for our second biggest stage, The Which Stage. In addition, The Other Stage – our beloved home for electronic music – will now feature all-night performances and DJ sets through sunrise each day, along with spectacular new lighting, lasers, and surprises galore. Fans will also love the reinvention of the Silent Disco and the Who Stage, and even the What Stage has a special surprise in store.
