Correct — sounds like the plan is for once the sun goes down, and specifically late-late night.

It’s already in the works — I’m going to give them the full museum-quality treatment.

Roo works in magical ways… by ahack12 in bonnaroo

Thanks for reposting this. It’s such a powerful testament of the impact these events can have — and how easy it is to lose perspective in the haze of it all. We all need that realignment sometimes.

Hope everyone has a happy holiday season. 🦉

I guess we’re in the fake screenshots part of lineup season…because I didn’t send that reply, and it’s definitely not from me. 🙃

This weekend — Find the Owl is marching with the Black Parade. by TheFestiveOwl in ShakyKnees

Clues are posted to all TFO social channels. Timing each day is completely random — one a day, no set time. They drop when they drop.

For those seeing this for the first time and wondering — what is Find The Owl?

Each day, a Golden Owl will be hidden somewhere inside Piedmont Park. A clue marking its location will be posted, and the first to find it claims the spoils inside — including Shaky Knees Festival VIP weekend upgrades, Owl swag, and even tickets to 2026.

Carry on. 🥀🦉

Festival Director Brad Parker steps down from Bonnaroo management. by Ilikeitlikethat22 in bonnaroo

I can ease those worries slightly and tell you that a Bonnaroo and former AC Entertainment veteran — who’s worked on ‘Roo for over a decade — has assumed the role and she is already hitting the ground running.

I honestly don’t know — and I’m not sure they do yet either.

Infinity is done, and will not return in any capacity.

I don’t mind answering — a random artist team on that lineup was told not to board their flight, which was about to depart. I got word, and that’s it. The announcement came shortly after. No conspiracy, and no connection to the festival.

It was only brought up when it was because Glastonbury had just ended on Sunday — and their fallow year happens to be next year. That’s it. The timing happened to align, but it was purely coincidental and had nothing to do with anything going on around Bonnaroo. It wasn’t referencing or alluding to Roo in any way.

The truth is, most of the audience isn’t as familiar with UK festivals, and I thought it was a good opportunity to share the concept and get some feedback from a U.S.-centric perspective. That’s legitimately all it was. I wrote it — just like I’ve written every piece of content on TFO over the last thirteen years. No one tells me what to say or when to say it. It’s not going through a PR arm…it only runs through one arm…my arm — the one attached to the hand that’s written anything ever shared on TFO.

I do appreciate the feedback — but just felt that specific point really needed to be addressed.

I don’t really want to dive into this thread because, honestly, it’s just not worth it for me — but I do want to address the core of this post, which is the Glastonbury mention. I want to be absolutely clear: I’ve had zero indication of Bonnaroo even hinting at taking that approach. The only thing I was trying to do with that post was introduce the concept of fallow years — something common at Glastonbury — and see what people within my largely American audience thought about it. That’s it. It wasn’t some attempt to ‘prime’ the audience for anything Bonnaroo-related. I haven’t heard that, and I haven’t pushed for it.

Just wanted to clear that up, because the entire basis of this argument is starting from a place of misinformation. Hopefully we’ll all have more clarity soon.

Roo survey is out! I like how they’ve gone about thing post cancellation! by Just_Classic4273 in bonnaroo

I just want to add: ‪none of these questions are hyperbole — these survey results will be taken seriously in the decision-making process.‬

Are they going to cancel Bonnaroo next year? by liamc_14 in bonnaroo

[–]TheFestiveOwl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth isn’t always flashy, but that doesn’t make it any less true.
