The festival had been set to take place in the US city of Manchester, Tennessee, in June with performers including Olivia Rodrigo, Avril Lavigne, Hozier, Vampire Weekend and Queens of the Stone Age but was cancelled after one day due to "record-setting rainfall".
Organisers say the festival will return to the same location from June 11-14 in 2026, with some changes.
"We've been taking your feedback to heart over the past few weeks as we plan improvements and talk about what's next for the festival. And now, it's time to share those plans with you," Bonnaroo said in a statement posted on Instagram.
"Campsites located in areas most affected by flooding will not be utilised. This will result in a reduced capacity on The Farm (more dancing space)," the post said.
It outlined plans to stagger camping entry and programming across the festival's stages and promised "the calibre of artists you expect from us" would remain "very similar" to previous years.
"In the 2025/2026 off-season, we'll be dedicating an additional multi-million-dollar budget and initiating improvements that prioritise the campgrounds and other areas affected by the extreme weather in 2025," the statement said.Â
"Some of these projects will include reseeding the property, continuing to increase access roads within the campgrounds, adding more drainage and reinforcing primary water runoff pathways.
"We appreciate your feedback on future Bonnaroo dates, and we heard you loud and clear that your strong preference is to keep Bonnaroo in June."
The statement said weather experts had confirmed the record-setting rainfall experienced in 2025 was "extremely uncommon".
"All things considered, our traditional June time frame remains the most optimal time of year for Bonnaroo," it said.
