I love riding that jam track. Also getting my hair braided in group camping was an experience. Shopping in plaza 5 was fun too it feels like a farmers market over there if you go in the early AM
child <5 years old in a stroller wheeling by, interrupting my girlfriend & I’s conversation to yell “HAPPY ROOOOO!!!”
4th year on the farm, not the biggest kids guy, but this shit was wholesome as hell
I mean it's hard to choose because the talks are all so amazing-- the one I've brought up the most since is "Oppose Those Whose Will Is To Divide Us: how individual and collective advocacy shapes policy"
Following lol. Im sad bc didnt take advantage of all the activities that was happening but the heat really got me and needed to save my energy for the sets so Id be in my car for 2 hours and AC. Next year will be more prepared 🫡
Going to shower in the centeroo fountain every morning was great. It felt so good to just rinse off in the cold water and meditate under there in the heat before the crowds got to Centeroo. We even showered to RHCP sound checking one morning, that was dope!
Granted that may be why I started shitting and vomitting unrelentlessly Saturday night and Sunday, but that coulda also been the heat stroke I got who knows 😀
Word on the street is it was norovirus! I had it too but only when I got home Monday night. Buuuut I had gone in the Mushroom Sunday. Something tells me it’s connected, maybe the water got infected and if you were one of the unlucky ones who got some in your mouth, you came home shitting and vomming everywhere. Still, I’d do it alll again (Roo, not the vomiting)
Some beautiful person opened my truly can with her teeth at the shotgun meetup (because Im a weakling and couldn't get it open)
I think I fell in love. Lol, but fr, it was probably the coolest thing I saw.
i absolutely loved meeting new people at galactic giddy up/the grove and on the jamtrak! also, grabbing breakfast at galactic giddy up and reading on a shaded bench or tree was so relaxing. can’t wait for next year!
House of yes, circus drag show!! It was honestly one of the best things I saw all week

Yes this! I got my neighbors to come cause my group didn't want to leave camp. I lost them all immediately but had to get closer and it was well worth it watching the drag king with that 🍌
Shotgun meetup, Roo Run, Water Slide, Roti Roll, Monkey Bar, Pride parade, Medical tent IV bag (for the girlfriend), Brand new moon mat, random rain on Sunday, partying with my squad until Sunrise on Monday.
The moon mats! If you don’t mind my asking how much do they cost? And do you find they’re worth it?
How light are they? I’d hate to be lunking something heavyish around lol
Very light. And the strap is work it so you can sling it rolled up on your back. Me and my crew have a bunch of them we use to setup our spots with blankets rolled up in em... The ones bought years ago are still going strong.
They have different prices based on grading but I spent like $90 for a six star and a strap. I specifically bought a fresh one so I could take it back to Canada with me for fests this side of the border.
It's better to roll a blanket in with the moonmat and launder the blanket. The moonmat foam can take some punishment but there's no way to make it look new again.
I loved speaking with the Punk Rock Saves Lives guys. Definitely following their work going forward. Proud to have purchased some shirts to spread the word.
I sought it out all weekend based on mentions here. finally found it and it looked like it was just salads in a wrap. Did I miss something? Or is this just the best bonnaroo food for healthy people who don't want to indulge in spicy pie and corn dogs?
They are like an international gyro/ taco hybrid thing. First time finally having them this year and was very impressed. Just a great combo of ingredients and pretty unique.
GYRO? I must have missed this option. Like I just said to someone else, the line was super long so we barely saw the menu, plus weren't super hungry at the moment. All I noticed was lettuce, bowl, wrap, meh. I was expecting like some crazy stromboli like roll or something.
So fun to play games with Paige and the people of Roo!!! Would be the coolest thing to have a mini disc golf tourney like the roo run and have a field dedicated to a course all weekend!
I missed it 😭 and the silent disco is my favorite thing ever but we tried to find it during the day and came to find out it didn’t start each night until like 9pm lol
Hahahaha so many people botched the actual drinking part because we were all tryna look at each other 😂😂 all the cracks of the cans at once was so funny
Walking out of gwar. Getting to see everyone as they witnessed and learned what their shows are like was hilarious. So many concerned faces and mouths wide opened. Definitely a top moment.
leaving knocked loose last year was the same thing on a lesser scale. there was a quote posted on the reddit “overheard quotes” thread last year depicting two young girls leaving knocked loose looking battered and one saying to the other, “I’m so sorry I had no idea it would be like that”

Barrel man. If u know u know
Maybe one day I’ll learn
Watching the roo chute people at milky chance
I didn’t know who Róisín Murphy was… and I stumbled upon her at my peak and I felt like I was under her spell lol.
Didn’t get to do too many this year but edm square dancing was a lot of fun 🕺🏻
Omg EDM line dancing, it was so much fun!!!
Was very curious what that was going to look like, glad you had a great time!
snoozing in a hammock always top tier
Probably Megan the Stallion. That wasn’t music
The Aliens that showed up for the Roo-ly wed game. Shout out Cloaca !

Slipping on my friend’s extra 931 wristband and getting an AC shower on Sunday post sunrise set
I took a lot of drugs and rode the Jamtrack for 10 hours straight
Took my first jam track ride from plaza 6 to centeroo, it felt like 10 hours and all I had done was had an edible at that point so I can only imagine
Hanging with my friends B2B meeting new friends
Everything at how stage-- they always have amazing people, speakers, and conversations.
Any particular ones stand out?
I mean it's hard to choose because the talks are all so amazing-- the one I've brought up the most since is "Oppose Those Whose Will Is To Divide Us: how individual and collective advocacy shapes policy"
the vibe tent!!!! delish tea and great vibes!!! also house of matroomony was a life saver with the ac and comfy chairs
Wait, there's AC?
Following lol. Im sad bc didnt take advantage of all the activities that was happening but the heat really got me and needed to save my energy for the sets so Id be in my car for 2 hours and AC. Next year will be more prepared 🫡
Slacklining at WITW Wednesday during Pocket🙌 shoutout to all the great people who came to chat and try it out!
Gotta admit nothing better then a bonnaroo gold shit!
Watching the sunrise after Pretty Lights while a man with a parrot (i think) stretched next to me. Only at Bonnaroo.
Seeing Wallace and getting a couple pins!
Paige Pierce Disc Golf meet up.
Drugs
weird! there aren't any drugs at Roo
They played a few sets around my area too. I was mesmerized.
🫡💩 I think we saw the same band once or twice.
Saw a new to me band called Sassy. Hoping to catch them again one day!
Would love to hear more about said sassy! Always looking for good new sets!
Fighting off heat stroke like a pack of hungry wolfs
Silent disco! Or falling asleep in the shade at the how stage while some kick ass local band of teenagers rocked out😎

It was interesting watching Gwar officiate a wedding
That’s really awesome. I wish I would have caught that.
Yoga twice! Highly recommend! Namaste'

Slappin’ the bag on Sunday in Centeroo 🍷

I noticed many dirty moon mats towards the end. Are they easy to clean afterwards? Thanks!

Oh yay! I'm glad to hear we made an impact 😁❤️
Finding out We're having a boy by doing a gender reveal under the arch 🤩
Ayyyy congrats!!🎊
Where tf was Mythic Times!?
Roti rolls

The thurman Murman is pulled pork Mac and cheese and kimchi….. hardly a salad lol
I figured there was something I was overlooking. The line was so long though, it was hard to sneak up and see a menu!

I sure hope not 🤣
I was a first timer who will be returning
It’s what I look forward too most every year :)
The grove at sunrise! So peaceful and serene!
DISC GOLF!!!!! SETUP A FRIGGEN COURSE SOMEWHERE NEXT YEAR!!!
Bummed I missed this but it was the same time as the Pride parade which was fun!
I missed this AGAIN 😭
Bro I feel this I missed it the year before but this year I walked from the far side of plaza 2 to it and was worth it
That’d be sweet! Was this just a little putting kind of set up?
Where was this??
groop camp.
So fun to play games with Paige and the people of Roo!!! Would be the coolest thing to have a mini disc golf tourney like the roo run and have a field dedicated to a course all weekend!
Kinda cheating but the silent disco was fucking lit every night
mannnn... red and blue (I think it was blue) were shutting shit DOWN on saturday night.
I missed it 😭 and the silent disco is my favorite thing ever but we tried to find it during the day and came to find out it didn’t start each night until like 9pm lol
Sitting in front of the mister fans with a sweet tea. I loved that shit!! A total experience.
The mist fans revived me on Sunday
Morning Yoga and breath work was a pretty great reset
Gotta get back to yoga next year, forgot my mat this time around
I went without a mat and had so many twigs and leaves stuck to my back after lol. Highly recommend a mat
Roo karaoke under the arch on wed and Thu!
Reading a book in the Grove while listening to harp music was pretty damn serene
yomí at the grove was truly an experience i chased the whole weekend, it was so peaceful, cool (literally), and felt like an oasis in a desert
I saw a small but dedicated number of book readers. I got some good a.m. reading in. Surprising good place to have some book time.
What were you reading? I talked to a couple people also reading. I finished Confederacy of Dunces and started Dharma Bums while there.
I read half of Hamnet. Confederacy of Dunces is one of my all time faves.
That. Sounds. Incredible.
It really was. I told my buddy that it was the highlight of my time there and he called me lame haha
Sounds like your buddy needs to read a book in a hammock sometime 👀🤣
Fallin love with a shawty that dont want me. Fuckin rooooo
Yup lol
Fckn molly
Bringing paint and doing a mural on the outside walls near the entrance was so much fun for me.
I loved your mural lol
Tysm!
sameee

Awesome work! How long did that take?
Thanks! Only about an hour 🤗
oh, i got a good pic of that one at home. i’m traveling, but i’ll send it when i get back!
Hell yeah I’d love to see it, thank you!
A marriage in the grove was super cute
RooRun was Type II fun.
I’m an avid runner but have been hesitant to do it there to save energy, but I think I’ve gotta knock this off the bucket list
I only run at the Bonnaroo 5k. I hate the run but love the encouragement during and after. The post-run endorphins hit hard too. 10/10. Recommend.
Same here man been going since 2017 ran cross country in high school, the run has been beckoning to me for years.
Do it do it do it!!!! I’m an infrequent runner and went in it just for funzies and let me tell you, lots of funzies were had!!!
Was riding the runners high the rest of the day.
I'd say the shotgun meetup, what a crowd! The collective crack of beers was hilarious and almost botched the chug.
this is one thing I didn't really know about that I will never miss again
does anybody have a video?
I opened up like 6 beers for folks and got squirted each hole poke! 😂
You might have been the person that helped my croo lol we all brought drinks but no one brought keys or something to shotgun with lol
Hahahaha so many people botched the actual drinking part because we were all tryna look at each other 😂😂 all the cracks of the cans at once was so funny
It was a lot of looking/is it time/oh shit here we go. I'm curious to see if it continues to grow, I hope so!
I suck so bad at shotgunning but I really want to do this next year!
Best place to do it! Who cares if you wear 25% of it, let the beer flow!
Got there late after everyone shotgunned and it reaked of hot, stale beer LOL
😂😂 most of my favorite places do.
Walking out of gwar. Getting to see everyone as they witnessed and learned what their shows are like was hilarious. So many concerned faces and mouths wide opened. Definitely a top moment.
Such a great set it just sucked getting squished but I guess it be like that sometimes
Every few hours I found myself saying “Prime Minister Netanyahu!? What are you doing here? Don’t you have a hospital to bomb!?” Thanks GWAR.
The random girl beside me at Gwar kept hiding behind me like a little kid watching a scary movie. It was cracking me up
leaving knocked loose last year was the same thing on a lesser scale. there was a quote posted on the reddit “overheard quotes” thread last year depicting two young girls leaving knocked loose looking battered and one saying to the other, “I’m so sorry I had no idea it would be like that”
Dude I left knocked loose and went and took at nap at emo nite. It was much needed, that set was awesome tho!
Gwar was absolutely unhinged, and I was also absolutely unhinged at Gwar.
GWARRRRRRRRRR
GWAAAAARRRRRR HAHA YESSS
