Your Ultimate Guide to Navigating Bonnaroo Farm’s Layout

The Bonnaroo Farm, home to the iconic Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, is a sprawling 700-acre venue in Manchester, Tennessee. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse performances, understanding its seating chart ensures you get the best experience. Here’s a breakdown of the venue’s layout, seat views, and tips for choosing your ideal spot.

Seating Chart Overview

Main Stage (What Stage & Which Stage): The largest areas with GA pit (closest to artists), reserved bleachers (mid-range visibility), and lawn seating (budget-friendly but distant). Pit offers intimacy but requires early arrival, while lawn seats provide a relaxed vibe with screens for visibility.

Tent Stages (This Tent, That Tent, The Other Tent): Covered areas with standing-room-only GA. Closer to the front = better sound and views, but crowded. Rear offers more space but less immersion.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Headliners: Pit or reserved bleachers for unobstructed views.
• Intimate Sets: Tent stages—arrive early for front-row spots.
• Group Outings: Lawn seating for space and affordability.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Pit seats offer unparalleled proximity but no seating. Bleachers provide elevation but can feel distant. Lawn views rely on screens, with potential sound delays. Tent stages may have obstructed sightlines near pillars.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP: Exclusive viewing areas, lounges, and shorter lines. Best for comfort and convenience.
• Accessibility: Designated platforms near stages, ADA-compliant pathways, and companion seating.

Pro Tips

• Prioritize pits for energy, lawns for budget, and tents for niche acts.
• Check weather forecasts—lawn seats lack cover.
• Use Bonnaroo’s app for real-time stage updates and navigation.
