As positive Covid cases increase with the rise of the Delta variant, we are urging Bonnaroo and the LiveNation team to require Covid vaccination proof and/or negative test results within a specified number of days leading up to the festival. 

In order to maintain a safe and healthy environment at Bonnaroo, we believe that Bonnaroo has a social responsibility to eliminate the threat of Covid to the best of their ability. Vaccination proof or negative Covid test results can severely reduce the risk of Bonnaroo becoming a “super spreader” event and jeopardizing the future of the festival. Requiring these safety procedures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 further embodies the Bonnaroo community that prides itself on caring for each other and a positive experience.

Other festivals including Lollapalooza, RiotFest, and BottleRock have specified requirements for entry. It would be in the best interest of Bonnaroo staff, volunteers, artists, employees, and the surrounding community of Manchester to consider these requirements in combating the spread of COVID-19.
