Bonnaroo 2025: Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler, the Creator, Luke Combs, and Hozier Set to Headline
The highly anticipated Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival returns to Manchester, Tennessee, from June 12-15, 2025, with an electrifying lineup led by Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler, the Creator, Luke Combs, and Hozier. Taking place on the Bonnaroo Farm, just 60 miles southeast of Nashville, the festival promises four days of non-stop music, art, and unforgettable experiences.
Each day brings a headliner to the stage: Luke Combs kicks off on Thursday, Tyler, the Creator leads Friday, Olivia Rodrigo shines on Saturday, and Hozier closes out on Sunday. Supporting acts include Vampire Weekend, Justice, Queens of the Stone Age, Glass Animals, Avril Lavigne, and Dom Dolla. Fans can also look forward to unique performances like Remi Wolf’s “Insanely Fire 1970s Pool Party” SuperJam on Saturday and the debut of the “Roo Residency” featuring King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard performing three sets over three days.
With more than 10 stages hosting performances around the clock, the festival offers music well into the night, complete with special sunrise sets for the early risers (or the late-night crowd).
This year, Bonnaroo introduces several exciting upgrades. The new “Closer” RV and primitive camping options guarantee closer access to Centeroo, no matter when festivalgoers arrive. Additionally, the groundbreaking “Infinity Stage” debuts with an immersive design featuring spatial sound, synchronized lights, and a three-dome, open-air structure, offering the world’s largest 360° live music experience.
For those seeking a premium festival experience, Bonnaroo offers upgraded ticket options, including GA+, VIP, and Platinum packages, alongside luxurious camping accommodations like air-conditioned tents near Centeroo.
Tickets go on sale Thursday, January 9, starting at 9 a.m. ET exclusively at bonnaroo.com. Fans can secure the lowest prices during the first hour of sales. Ticket options include 4-Day General Admission, GA+, VIP, and Platinum passes, with camping and parking packages available starting at $99. Payment plans begin at just $25 down, making it easier for music lovers to plan their trip to The Farm.

PNE Summer Night Concerts Announce 2026 Lineup
Vancouver’s summer concert calendar is locking into place. The annual Summer Night Concerts are set to return to the Pacific National Exhibition from August 22 through September 7, bringing live music back to one of the city’s biggest seasonal events.
This year carries a bit more weight than usual. The series will debut at the brand-new Freedom Mobile Arch, a 10,000-seat outdoor amphitheatre built for large-scale performances. The venue promises better sightlines, improved sound, and a more immersive setup for fans. It’s a major shift for the fair, which spent much of last year dealing with construction that limited its footprint and contributed to a drop in attendance.
Now, with the full site back in action, organizers are aiming for a reset. The 2026 lineup leans into that idea, mixing legacy acts with newer names across genres like rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic.
Headliners include Blue Rodeo, The Guess Who, The Beaches, Nelly, and Zedd, alongside artists like Mt. Joy, Train, and Barenaked Ladies. Special performances include Cynthia Erivo backed by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, as well as appearances from Punjabi Virsa, Weird Al Yankovic, Earth, Wind & Fire, Pierce the Veil, Sarah McLachlan, and Boy George & Culture Club.
The full schedule runs nightly:
- Aug. 22: Blue Rodeo
- Aug. 23: The Guess Who
- Aug. 25: The Beaches
- Aug. 26: Nelly
- Aug. 27: Zedd
- Aug. 28: Mt. Joy
- Aug. 29: Cynthia Erivo with VSO
- Aug. 30: Punjabi Virsa
- Sept. 1: Train
- Sept. 2: Barenaked Ladies
- Sept. 3: Weird Al Yankovic
- Sept. 4: Earth, Wind & Fire
- Sept. 5: Pierce the Veil
- Sept. 6: Sarah McLachlan
- Sept. 7: Boy George & Culture Club
Tickets start at $49 plus fees and include admission to the PNE Fair. Presale began April 19, with general on-sale launching April 20 through TicketLeader.
New venue, full fairgrounds, and a lineup that leans both nostalgic and current. After a quieter year, the PNE looks ready to feel busy again.

Phillips Backyard Festival Returns With Chance the Rapper, Father John Misty, and Modest Mouse
Victoria’s summer concert calendar just got a major boost. The Phillips Backyard Music Festival is back, and this year it’s packing everything into one tight, three-day run from July 10–12 at Phillips Brewing & Malting Co..
After spreading across multiple weekends in past years, the 2026 edition trims things down to a single stretch, but the lineup is anything but smaller. Each night is led by a Grammy-winning or nominated act, with Chance the Rapper opening Friday, Father John Misty taking Saturday, and Modest Mouse closing things out on Sunday.
Chance’s booking is a big one. The Chicago artist has never played Victoria before, so expect a rush when tickets drop. Meanwhile, both Father John Misty and Modest Mouse are making long-awaited returns, with neither having played the city in over a decade.
The supporting lineup fills out nicely across the weekend. Friday leans upbeat with Duckwrth, Sophia Stel, Nicky MacKenzie, and DACEY. Saturday brings a mix of local and global names, including Sudan Archives and Victoria favourites Jon and Roy. Sunday wraps with indie staples like Wolf Parade, alongside Angine de Poitrine, Fake Shark, and Darrian Gerard.
Organizers are promising a smoother experience this time around. The space is getting an upgrade, the raised stage is staying, and RFID wristbands are out. There’s even more still to come, with additional artists set to be announced for the returning Music BC stage.
Tickets go on sale March 25 at 10 a.m., with single-day passes at $125 and full weekend access priced at $325. If past years are any indication, waiting is a bad idea.
