With Bonnaroo canceled, here's where artists are playing make-up shows in Nashville

Several Bonnaroo performers aren't allowing the rained-out festival to get in their way of getting on stage. Following the festival's historic, mid-way cancelation, a number of them announced impromptu Nashville shows, allowing attendees to keep the party going 65 miles away from The Farm.

The Bonnaroo entrance is closed due to heavy rains with festival attendees hoping to resume the four-day party during the second day of Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival at The Farm in Manchester, Tenn., Friday, June 13, 2025. The festival was canceled by organizers a short time later.

On June 13, festival organizers canceled the annual event due to severe weather and flooding. Officials posted their announcement at 7:40 p.m. June 13 on X.

"We have put our hearts and souls into making this weekend the most special one of the year, and cannot express how crushed we are to have to make this decision," read a statement. "Thank you in advance for your patience, your positivity and your unfailing Bonnaroovian spirit."

Here's what to know about the recently announced make-up shows in Music City.
