Bonnaroo 2025, running June 12-15 in Manchester, Tennessee, is expanding the festival vibe with a series of free, open-to-all pre- and post-show dance parties and games designed to keep the energy flowing beyond the main stages.
Thursday “Get Weird” Pregame Dance Party
Kick off Bonnaroo on June 12 from 11 AM to 2 PM with the original preparty, “Get Weird.” Expect groovy beats, free grilled cheese, and drinking games — a perfect warm-up session before Centeroo opens.
Saturday Backyard Games at Noon
On June 14, join in on a musical flip cup tournament and other backyard-style drinking games at noon. These social activities are designed for mingling and a mid-day energy boost before the afternoon/evening sets.
Sunday “DeBussy” Bus Late Night Dance Party
When the final headliner finishes on June 15, the party moves onto the “DeBussy” bus for a late-night dance session. Spinchilla, Digi Jake, Jose & Mary, and Erastep will spin tunes for festival-goers eager for one last chance to dance.
BYOB and All Welcome
These events are free, open to everyone, and encourage BYOB. Community buzz is already high, praising the festival’s stamina and the unique venue of the DeBussy bus party as an epic festival send-off.
If you’re looking to stretch your Bonnaroo experience beyond the stages, these dance parties and games deliver the full “before and after” festival vibe.
