Bonnaroo 2025 Lineup Predictions, and More
Me, circa ‘Roo 2024, dancing at the Pink Pony Club.
‘Tis the season to get groovin’, Bonnaroovians.
Okay, that was super corny; however, the Bonnaroo 2025 lineup does drop this Wednesday, and I have been sleuthing the internet (read: the ole’ reliable ‘Roo subreddit) for any ounce of information I can get my hands on regarding this year’s star-studded setlist.
Read on for the internet’s top predictions, and for a refresher on surviving festival season.
Bonnaroo 2025 lineup: what we know so far
Thus far, the ‘Roo Clues that have been dropped have me absolutely convinced of two headliners: Tyler, the Creator and Glass Animals, respectively. For EDM fans like myself, however, a third horse has entered the race, with The Festive Owl and other outlets all but confirming, essentially, that Tipper will also be attending and performing one of his iconic audio-visual sets at ‘Roo ‘25.
If Tyler, the Creator does headline, this will come up right against his CHROMOKOPIA tour (which runs all throughout the summer), with Glass Animals alternatively hitting the iconic Tennessee festival at the end of a nearly year-long world tour, affectionately named A Tour of Earth.
Overall, this would be one of the more mass-appealing lineups ‘Roo has sported in some time, leaning into the pop-culture zeitgeist that is Tyler’s new album amidst the backdrop of GA’s enduring following, who always show strong support for the band’s endeavors. And, we all know Tipper knows how to draw in the electronic folks.
A reminder: Bonnaroo is a marathon, not a sprint
In addition to these quick, top-line headliner predictions, I wanted to float a reminder that Bonnaroo is one of the more challenging, multi-day camping festivals one can attend. The extreme TN heat, five-day length, and miles of open festival ground make it one of the more challenging to endure. Feel free to reference my festival survival guide in the meantime.
So, this was short and sweet — a TL;DR of the in-depth analyses I’ve seen — but I hope informative. See ya’ on The Farm in ‘25, y’all.
Xoxo, MM.
