Foo Fighters, Kendrick Lamar, Odesza, Zeds Dead and more announced for Bonnaroo 2023
The line-up for this year’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has been announced, with Foo Fighters, Kendrick Lamar, Odesza, Zeds Dead and Liquid Stranger leading the fray across four hectic days.
The latter two acts will team up to co-headline the first day of the festival, taking over the Great Stage Park in Manchester, Tennessee on Thursday June 15. There, they’ll be joined by the likes of 070 Shake, Big Freedia, Briscoe and Ezra Furman.
Thursday’s bill is the smallest, sporting a total of 20 acts, while Friday’s is the biggest with 32. Headlined by Lamar, the genre-bending roster for June 16 includes Baby Keem, Vulfpeck, Portugal. The Man, Fleet Foxes, AFI, Rina Sawayama, Alex G, MUNA, Sampa The Great and many more. The following day (June 17), Odesza will close out a line-up featuring names like Lil Nas X, Korn, Yung Gravy, The Beths, J.I.D and Remi Wolf.
Foo Fighters, on the other hand, will round the festival out on Sunday June 18, delivering a monumental show alongside acts like Paramore, Marcus Mumford, Pixies, Girl In Red, Franz Ferdinand and Jacob Collier. Altogether, next year’s Bonnaroo will sport a stonking 106 live music performances.
Notably, the Foos’ appearance comes amid somewhat of a comeback for the Dave Grohl-fronted outfit, who took a break last year after drummer Taylor Hawkins died at 50. Also announced this week were their sets at the Boston Calling and Sonic Temple festivals, both going down in May.
Early-access tickets for Bonnaroo 2023 will go on sale tomorrow (January 12), with prospective concertgoers able to sign up for that access here.
Among the sprawling live music roster – more names for which are set to be announced in due time – Bonnaroo will feature parades, a village market, a waterpark and carnival rides, a Planet Roo sustainability program, a dedicated brewers’ festival, a substance-free Soberoo program, a five-kilometre Roo Run, daily yoga and more. All the info on those activities can be found here.
