Bonnaroo first issued an update that performances were paused due to storms in the area just before 2 pm. local time Sunday.
Soon after, organizers evacuated Centeroo, the main festival grounds. A statement was published online via the festival’s official social media pages: “Please calmly head to the nearest exit and shelter in a vehicle. Follow staff instructions and monitor festival communications including social media, Bonnaroo Radio on 101.5 FM, and app notifications for updates. If you do not have a vehicle, find a friend to take shelter with. We expect this storm to continue for the next 2-3 hours with moderate to heavy rain and lightning. We’ll keep you updated!”
Around 4 p.m. local time, Bonnaroo posted an update announcing the severe weather had passed, but Centeroo wasn’t ready to be reopened just yet. “Allow us some time to prepare to reopen, finalize the new performance schedule and then…get ready! It’s going to be a very muddy and LEGENDARY final night on The Farm!” they advised.
By 5:30 p.m., festival grounds were officially open again, and the night’s updated schedule was released.
