As 2025 comes to an end, it’s already time to start preparing for the 2026 festival season. It feels like the 2025 music festivals were just yesterday, but Bonnaroo already has its lineup ready, and it’s full of exciting performances.
There’s a lot in store for this year’s festival, with appearances from some of 2025’s breakout artists as well as the return of a late 2000s pop icon. Here’s who will be taking the stage at Bonnaroo, as well as everything else you need to know about the festival.
Bonnaroo will be taking over the South this June.
When Is Bonnaroo 2026?
The music festival will be held from Thursday, June 11th, through Sunday, June 14th.
Where Will Bonnaroo Take Place?
As always, Bonnaroo will take place in Manchester, Tennessee. The festival will be held at Great Stage Park, a 650-acre farm where it has been located since its launch in 2002.
Who Are The Headliners?
On Thursday, Skrillex will be the sole headliner to kick off the festival weekend. The following day, The Strokes, Griz, and Turnstile will headline while Rüfüs Du Sol, Teddy Swims, and The Neighbourhood will take the stage on Saturday. For the final date, Noah Kahan, Role Model, and Kesha will headline.
Both Kahan and Tucker Pillsbury (Role Model) have made waves in music this decade, with Pillsbury’s career really taking off in 2025. The two will certainly bring in some large crowds, giving Sunday the potential to be the biggest day of the festival.
Who Else Will Be Performing?
While the headliners are exciting, there are so many more performers who will be taking the stage that fans should be excited to see, too. Thursday’s lineup is quite small with only Four Tet, Vince Staples, and Spiritual Cramp performing before Skrillex takes the stage. Luckily, the following days will have a lot more in store.
There’s a long list of performers, with every name available on the official Bonnaroo 2026 poster. However, some of the most notable performers on Friday will be Jessie Murph, Yungblud, and Lil Jon. There are also a good number of up-and-coming artists performing on the smaller stages, like Wolfmother and Pawpaw Rod.
Saturday will see performances from artists like Alabama Shakes and Passion Pit. The up-and-comers this day include Holly Humberstone, who opened for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in August 2024, and DJ Trixie Mattel, best known from RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Before Noah Kahan, Role Model, and Kesha take over Sunday’s set, 2025 breakout star Mariah The Scientist and Audrey Hobert, among others, will hit the stage. Former Disney darlings Aly & AJ are among the artists performing smaller sets, after the release of their 2025 album Silver Deliverer and the 20th anniversary celebration of their debut record Into the Rush.
What Else Should You Know About Bonnaroo?
Along with headlining, Kesha will also curate this year’s Superjam titled Kesha Presents: Superjam Esoterica: The Alchemy Of Pop. There will also be a special appearance from Weird Al Yankovitch.
Tickets for the festival go on sale on Friday, December 5th at 10:00 am CT, and general admission tickets for the full weekend start at $389 each. Festival goers should also prepare to camp out on the property. Luckily, the official Bonnaroo website has a list of camping options for attendees.
