J. Cole, Stevie Nicks, Tool To Headline Bonnaroo 2022

After two years of cancelled festivals, Bonnaroo makes its return.

Bonnaroo suffered some bad luck in 2021. After having to cancel their festival in 2020 due to — well, you already know why — Bonnaroo was forced to shut down their 2021 event just days before its commencement thanks to inclement weather that flooded out its campgrounds. Attendees, many of whom were already on the way to the event, were forced to turn around and head home.

With hopes of making up for the now two years of cancelled festivals, Bonnaroo has unveiled its massive lineup for its 2022 iteration, slated for its usual time at the cusp of summer, June 16 - 19.

J. Cole, Stevie Nicks, and Tool (who was slated to headline the 2020 festival) will make up the three main headliners for the weekend alongside a genre-spanning support bill that includes Machine Gun Kelly, The Chicks, Roddy Ricch, 21 Savage, Flume, Illenium, and many, many more. It’s an eclectic lineup, even for Bonnaroo, which will see rap stars sharing the stage with EDM heavy-weights, and arena-playing rock legacy acts.

For everything you need to know about attending Bonnaroo 2022 — fingers-crossed it happens this year — read on.
