Tennessee is known for its epic music festivals and the reams of musicians that flood the streets of Nashville, but there’s one music festival every year that takes the cake. Located way outside of Music City, on a beautiful stretch of land, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is a hot spot come the second week of June. If you haven’t been? You may want to buy some tickets.
Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival takes place every year in the gorgeous town of Manchester, Tennessee. Produced by Superfly Presents and AC Entertainment, it's been a Tennessee classic since it first arrived in 2002.
Similar to its sister festival on the west coast, Coachella, it's held on a large area of land that encourages camping and community. Bonnaroo itself is held on a total of 650-acres, in an area known as Great Stage Park.

Roughly 80,000 people attend every year, per the 2015 attendance records. With more than 150 performances on the docket, it makes sense why so many folks flock to the south!
