Bonnaroo is for the PEOPLE!
So we are in the final stretch…preppin, plannin, gettin that last-minute festival gear. I don’t know about you, but I have been wearing my Amazon Prime out, the postman be like – AGAIN!? But I am almost done getting all my gear. What about you?
The most important thing you do at ROO is to take care of you, your friends and your neighbors! The temps during the day in June are in the 90’s, so if you don’t spend much time outside without air conditioning – be warned! Heat STROKE (SUNSTROKE) is a real thing in Tennessee and you MUST stay HYDRATED with water – even if you don’t usually drink it. Heatstroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures — usually in combination with dehydration — which leads to failure of the body’s temperature control system. So use the buddy system and look out for one another, and remember to drink WATER! If one of your friends or some random stranger is looking too HOT, get them into the shade and give them some Chilly Well Water.
One of the highlights of Bonnaroo is its eclectic and star-studded lineup of musical acts. From legendary headliners to up-and-coming artists, Bonnaroo offers something for every music lover. Bonnaroo 2024 attendees can expect a diverse mix of established acts and emerging talent across multiple stages throughout the festival grounds. There is a place for everyone’s tastes.

Last weekend we kicked off the festival season with the one My favorite West Virginia’s music festivals at the New River Gorge. Mountain Music festival. It was a wonderful weekend in the mountains!
Friday night jam on with Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Lettuce, TAUK and more on the mountaintop main stage. Saturday started with an honorable mention, Arlo McKinley performing some soulful songs in a really beautiful setting. Later it was some foot stomping to some string pounding fury including The Wood Brothers, The Infamous Stringdusters. I think my best moment from this festival was the Stringdusters performance of U2’s “In God’s Country, very fitting, yes indeed. Plus festival favorite Big Something closed out the main stage Saturday night before The Kind Thieves and Black Garlic’s late night sets on the Blue Ridge Outdoors Strange Stage. No matter your musical taste there was something for you in this solid lineup. I have to say this one will be hard to beat just on venue and atmosphere alone. There was plenty of room for every one to move around and to camp comfortably.
ACE Adventure Resort offered the perfect setting for this nice sized festival, the camp grounds were really huge and they operated buses to help everyone get safely back to their camps at night and to the resort at the bottom of the mountain. The weather was absolutely perfect for the waterpark and the mountain air was nice and crisp. I loved that you could have actual camp fires at this festival and you can also see the Milky Way! After the bus ride back to camp in the wee hours of the morning, the crackle and the light of the camp fires was a nice touch. I really hope you were there to kick it off with us and if not, definitely add this one to you list for next year!
New River Gorge National Park and Preserve
This natural playground was something of a loosely kept secret for many years. But now, the secret is fully out. On 27 December 2020, the river became the New River Gorge national park and preserve, the United States’ newest national park. Here is the link to the NPS website.
From a previous performance
Festival Season 2021 may be a bit different, some of the the dates are not what we are used to and some will not return until 2022, but that’s alright, with a little planning and preparation, there are plenty on the 2021 festival list to choose from for every style and fan. For some of them that have moved to Fall and some are in the mountains!
