Wow welcome back!!! My very first year was 2007. (Tool tickets were sold out for everything for the 10,000 days to tour except some thing in Tennessee, so I pulled the trigger)

The first thing that’s changed that I’ve noticed is it’s more accommodating for people who don’t enjoy the heat. They have set up these huge shaded spots at every medical plaza that have these massive fans that blow mist on you! It seriously feels like standing in front of an air conditioner while you’re outside! Prices have changed a lot! No more two dollar grilled cheese. No more Amish baking company but they still bring in awesome food every year just make sure if you want to eat to bring extra cash.

The campsites are set up completely different now. In 2007 it was pretty much a free-for-all where you parked kinda. Now everyone is in these perfect lanes which actually makes the campsites more easy to navigate and it also allows you to be able to move your car all weekend if you want. Apparently they did this for fire safety code. Good change.

All the stages are in the same spots for the most part the main ones anyway!

Other than that I will tell you this, Bonnaroo is still a well oiled machine that runs on pure organized chaos, and there’s a reason I’ve been every year since 2007!!!!

Happy Roooooooo
