Bonnaroo organizers posted an updated Sunday-night schedule on June 14 after severe weather forced a temporary evacuation and delayed performances at the Manchester, Tennessee, festival; the revised lineup lists Kesha on the Which Stage from 9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. CT.
The timetable released for the final night also moves Modest Mouse to This Stage from 9:15 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. CT and keeps Noah Kahan on the What Stage from 10:30 p.m. to midnight CT, with the changes shared for on-site concertgoers and viewers watching via livestream on Disney+ and Hulu.
Organizers told attendees just before 2 p.m. local time that performances were paused as storms moved through the area and shortly before 2:15 p.m. Centeroo was evacuated. By 2:29 p.m. all Sunday day parking lots, rideshare drop-off and the box office were closed, and the festival advised people to shelter and follow staff instructions, social channels, Bonnaroo Radio on 101.5 FM and app alerts.
The festival’s public updates warned the storm could last two to three hours; at 3:31 p.m. officials relayed a National Weather Service estimate that the weather would pass in about 60 to 90 minutes. Around 4 p.m. Bonnaroo said the severe weather had passed but Centeroo was not yet ready to reopen as crews prepared the site and finalized a new performance schedule.
Shortly after 4:45 p.m., updated set times were posted on social platforms and shared with livestream audiences; by 4:30 p.m. day parking, tolls and rideshare access were being readied to reopen, and the grounds were officially open again by 5:30 p.m. Less than 40 minutes after the updated times appeared in reports, Centeroo had reopened and the festival proceeded under the revised schedule.
Organizers used direct safety instructions during the disruption, writing: "Please calmly head to the nearest exit and shelter in a vehicle. Follow staff instructions and monitor festival communications including social media, Bonnaroo Radio on 101.5 FM, and app notifications for updates. If you do not have a vehicle, find a friend to take shelter with. We expect this storm to continue for the next 2-3 hours with moderate to heavy rain and lightning. We’ll keep you updated!" Later they posted: "BONNAROOOVIANS!! The severe weather has passed, but Centeroo remains closed for the moment. Allow us some time to prepare to reopen, finalize the new performance schedule and then…get ready! It’s going to be a very muddy and LEGENDARY final night on The Farm!"
The updated schedule provided the practical information most attendees and livestream viewers needed: which stages were operating and the start and end times for headline sets that night. Kesha’s one-hour slot on the Which Stage and Modest Mouse’s 75-minute window on This Stage anchored the evening; Noah Kahan retained the late-night headline spot on the What Stage.
The remaining gap for audiences and performers is clarity on set length: festival messages and the posted schedule confirm new start times and that the grounds reopened, but Bonnaroo did not specify whether any performances were shortened or canceled to make up time after the delay. That question remains open for anyone comparing the original published lineup with the new on-site timing.
Bonnaroo reopened Centeroo and ran the revised Sunday-night slate after the storm passed; attendees and remote viewers were left with concrete new times — including Kesha at 9:30 p.m. CT — and an unanswered detail about whether sets were trimmed, which festival communications did not address in their updates.
