Who’s ready for the event happening June 16th – June 19th in Manchester, TN?! The festival features a lineup for everyone, with diverse musical acts from multiple generations and encompassing several genres.
Thursday’s headliner is Gryffin, the musician, songwriter, DJ, and record producer will kick off the event with his alluring blend of organic, emotional, dance-pop electronic music – guaranteed to get the festivities started right.
Friday headliners include J. Cole, the Grammy-winning artist regarded as one of the most influential rappers of his generation, and The Chicks, a country band led by singer Natalie Maines who’ve been recording since 1989. Their most recent tour was in 2017, so you don’t want to miss the chance to see them this summer! Illenium completes Friday’s headliners with his mesmerizing blend of bass, dubstep, trap, and electronic rock. Did you know his recent album Fallen Embers, released in July 2021, earned Illenium his first Grammy nomination?!
Saturday Headliners include Tool, the legendary rock band formed in Los Angeles during the 1990s. Flume, the Australian musician, DJ, and producer known for remixes to songs from Lorde and Disclosure, brings his future bass, experimental electronic sound. Finally, 21 Savage, the rapper based in Atlanta, Georgia, will have the crowd dancing non-stop to his tracks like ‘A Lot,’ ‘Bank Account,’ and ‘Peru.’
Sunday headliners include the illustrious Stevie Nicks, who’s been recording albums since 1966, with some of her most famous songs being ‘Landslide,’ ‘Rhiannon,’ and ‘Edge of Seventeen.’ Machine Gun Kelly, known for seamlessly blending contemporary and alternative hip hop with rock, and Roddy Rich, the rapper from Compton, California, completes the headlining acts at Bonnaroo. In 2019, he collaborated on Nipsey Hussle’s single “Racks in the Middle,” earning him a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance.
Bonnaroo heats up on the late night with performances from Sidepiece, Role Model, and Goth Babe on Thursday. Friday night, you can enjoy artists like Goose, Lane 8, and Denzel Curry. Save energy for Ludacris, Cris Lake, and Marc Revillet on Saturday!
