Bonnaroo just dropped its 2025 lineup, and it’s a true monster. Metal gods Megadeth and desert rock giants Queens of the Stone Age are heading to Tennessee, bringing riffs for days to The Farm. If you’re wondering what chaos looks like with a side of southern summer heat, this is it.
The four-day festival, running from June 12–15 is a proper genre-spanning epic. Headliners include Luke Combs (Thursday), Tyler, The Creator (Friday), Olivia Rodrigo (Saturday), and Hozier (Sunday). But don’t let the big names distract you—this lineup is loaded from top to bottom. We’re talking Vampire Weekend, Glass Animals, Justice, Avril Lavigne, Dom Dolla, and John Summit for that late-night, serotonin-boosting house vibe.
Then there’s King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, taking things to uncharted territory with a three-day “Roo Residency.” Three sets, three days, one band. Love them or not, this is the kind of unpredictable, genre-bending energy that makes Bonnaroo stand out.
Speaking of Aussies, it’s a good year to be flying the Southern Cross. Sydney’s Royel Otis are stepping up to the big leagues with their Bonnaroo debut. If their dreamy, indie-pop brilliance hasn’t been on your radar yet, this is your wake-up call. King Gizz, Dom Dolla and Royel Otis are repping Down Under, showing the world that Aussie acts can bring the heat just as much as the global icons on the bill.
And because no Bonnaroo is complete without chaos, this year’s SuperJam is helmed by Remi Wolf. She’s calling it the “Insanely Fire 1970s Pool Party,” and honestly, that’s the vibe we’re here for. Expect disco energy, some unhinged cameos, and outfits you’ll be talking about for weeks.
As always, Bonnaroo isn’t just about the music—it’s a full experience. This year, they’re debuting the Infinity Stage, a wild 360° open-air setup that sounds like the closest thing to stepping inside a fever dream. Add in the fancy camping upgrades (hello, safari tents and “Closer Camping”), and you’ve got a festival that’s catering to everyone from sweaty moshers to luxury-loving loungers posting to their millions.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m. CT, and let’s be real: they’re going to sell out fast. So you better giddy up if you want them.
