⛈️ One of North America's most iconic music festivals is taking a year off.
Bonnaroo has confirmed it will pause operations in 2027 after repeated storms and flooding affected its Tennessee festival site. Organisers say the break will allow "The Farm" to recover while further improvements are made to strengthen the venue for future events.
The decision reflects the growing impact of extreme weather on outdoor festivals and highlights the challenges facing organisers worldwide.
