'Today, the National Weather Service provided us with an updated forecast with significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days,' the statement reads. 'We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo. We are going to make things right with you, and you will find refund information at the end of this message, but let's start with the next steps.'
The message goes on to suggest that any campers whose sites are in decent shape or who are safely inside an RV consider camping overnight to prioritize evacuating those festivalgoers in the roughest situations.
'The number one thing we need from the Bonnaroo community is patience,' the message reads. 'Some of your fellow campers' sites are in rough shape. The rain has settled in areas and made certain parts of Outeroo difficult to manage. We'd like to prioritize getting those folks as well as those with accessibility needs off The Farm as soon as possible this evening. To do this, we ask that if your campsite is in good shape or if you're in an RV or pre-pitched accommodation, please consider spending the night with us and we'll start working to get you out of here safely tomorrow.'
The festival wrapped its message by reiterating how 'crushed' organizers are to make this decision. 'We have put our hearts and souls into making this weekend the most special one of the year, and cannot express how crushed we are to have to make this decision. Thank you in advance for your patience, your positivity and your unfailing Bonnaroovian spirit.'
As promised, the post ends with refund details, spelling out what tickets and parking passes will be refunded in full and what will be returned in part since Thursday's day 1 went off without a hitch. Find the full refund details in the second slide below:
Bonnaroo kicked off Thursday with performances from Luke Combs, Dom Dolla, Insane Clown Posse and Rebecca Black. Friday night's headliners were scheduled to be Tyler, The Creator, John Summit and Glass Animals; Saturday's lineup was led by Olivia Rodrigo, Avril Lavigne and Justice; and Sunday would have wrapped up with Hozier, Vampire Weekend and Queens of the Stone Age.

Stevie Nicks released a new single with Lindsey Buckingham. See her on tour
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. In 1973, a young Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham toured the American South in support of their album 'Buckingham Nicks.' The ten-track record didn't make much of a splash on the airwaves and they were dropped from their record label. However, rumor has it, Mick Fleewood allegedly overheard the duo's song 'Frozen Love' and was so impressed, he brought them on to join Fleetwood Mac. Now, more than a half-century later and countless accolades later, Nicks and Buckingham are re-releasing their debut that made their name. On Sept. 19, the Rock Hall of Famers will reissue the lost classic, sourcing from the original analog master tapes. Prior to that, fans can hear the powerful lead single 'Crying In The Night' here. Interestingly enough, this news coincides with Stevie Nicks' forthcoming North American tour. While there is no confirmation whether or not 'The Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll' will perform tracks from 'Buckingham Nicks' — or if Lindsey will join her onstage — the best way to find out is live. As of now, tickets are available for all 17 upcoming Nicks concerts, including her gigs at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Friday, Aug. 8 and Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall on Saturday, Oct. 18. Even if she doesn't deliver 'Crying In The Night' or any of the other songs from 'Buckingham Nicks,' fans can expect Fleetwood Mac classics, fan favorite solo cuts and carefully selected classic rock covers, based on our findings from past shows at Set List FM. 'Hope to see you out there,' the 77-year-old songstress shared via Instagram. For more information, our team has everything you need to know and more about Stevie Nicks' 2025 North American tour below. Stevie Nicks 2025 tour schedule A complete calendar including all tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets for all upcoming Stevie Nicks concerts can be found below. Stevie Nicks set list As a double Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee for her work with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist, super fans are likely left wondering what Nicks will play from her vast catalogs when they see her live. Thanks to the trusty Set List FM, we're here to quell any confusion and give you an idea of what she'll likely belt out at the show of your choosing. Enjoy: 01.) 'Outside the Rain' 02.) 'Dreams' (Fleetwood Mac song) 03.) 'If Anyone Falls' 04.) 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' 05.) 'For What It's Worth' (Buffalo Springfield cover) 06.) 'Gypsy' (Fleetwood Mac song) 07.) 'Wild Heart' 08.) 'Bella Donna' 09.) 'Stand Back' 10.) 'Free Fallin'' (Tom Petty cover) 11.) 'Gold Dust Woman' (Fleetwood Mac song) 12.) 'Leather and Lace' 13.) 'Edge of Seventeen' Encore 14.) 'Rhiannon' (Fleetwood Mac song) 15.) 'Landslide' (Fleetwood Mac song) Stevie Nicks new music Ahead of the release of 'Buckingham Nicks,' the twosome released the strummy, sublime 'Crying In The Night.' Fans of Fleetwood Mac will instantly warm to the sound; the harmonious track would fit right in on 1975's 'Fleetwood Mac' or '77's 'Rumours.' Sure, its production is a skosh bit rougher around the edges but that only adds to its scratchy '70s charm. If you couldn't guess, we can't get enough of this one. To hear for yourself, you can find the endlessly listenable, deceptively simple 'Crying In The Night' here.

Blackpink Waited Half A Decade To Reach No. 1
Blackpink's 'Jump' debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Digital Song Sales chart and reaches the top ... More three on several others in its first week. INDIO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 15: (L-R) Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa of BLACKPINK perform at the Coachella Stage during the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 15, 2023 in Indio, California. (Photo byfor Coachella) Blackpink's brand new single 'Jump' is off to a strong start on the Billboard charts in the United States. Following its first full tracking frame of availability, the tune sold and streamed well enough to launch inside the top 10 on multiple tallies, bringing the K-pop girl group back to the highest reaches on several rankings, pushing the act toward the summit on a number of tallies for the first time. Billboard classifies 'Jump' as a dance tune, and that label works in Blackpink's favor and helps the four singers make history. 'Jump' Debuts at No. 1 'Jump' opens at No. 1 on one U.S.-based tally, as the tune starts atop the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. Blackpink scores its first No. 1 on the list of the bestselling dance and electronic tracks throughout the country. The group has only appeared on the tally once before this frame. Blackpink previously joined Lady Gaga on 'Sour Candy,' which debuted in June 2020 and eventually peaked in the runner-up spot. Now, the South Korean act has finally reached the top space. Blackpink Joins Jung Kook and Psy Blackpink is just the fourth K-pop act to hit No. 1 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. Earlier this month, HUNTR/X — a fictional group from Netflix's film KPop Demon Hunters — soared to the peak position with 'How It's Done.' Blackpink replaces that cut at No. 1 this week. Fellow K-pop stars Psy and Jung Kook of BTS fame have also led the charge in the past. Blackpink Hits the Top 10 on Several Charts 'Jump' starts at No. 3 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart, with exactly 3,600 copies purchased (per Luminate). The tune also opens in the runner-up spot on both the Hot Dance/Pop Songs and Dance Streaming Songs tallies. Looking globally, 'Jump' is the biggest hit around the world this frame, as Blackpink returns to No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. with the exciting comeback track.

Ateez Scores A New No. 1 Smash — And Dominates One Billboard Chart
Ateez lands a third No. 1 on the World Digital Song Sales chart with 'In Your Fantasy,' while five ... More more tracks debut inside the top 10. SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - JUNE 12: ATEEZ attends ATEEZ's the 12th mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3' press conference at Hotel Naru Seoul MGallery in Mapo-gu on June 12, 2025 in Seoul, South Korea. (Photo by The Chosunilbo JNS/Imazins via Getty Images) Ateez continues its winning streak this week as the K-pop boy band surges north on several Billboard charts. The group's EP Golden Hour: Part 3 was recently reissued, and it has once again become one of the bestselling titles in the United States. The short set gains ground and reappears on multiple tallies, and the newly added tracks become bestsellers in their own right. As several tunes debut, the South Korean superstars even manage to score another chart-topper. Ateez Returns to No. 1 With 'In Your Fantasy' Ateez returns to No. 1 on the World Digital Song Sales chart as 'In Your Fantasy' opens in first place. The track serves as the lead single from the In Your Fantasy edition reissue of Golden Hour: Part 3, so it makes sense that fans of the K-pop act flocked primarily to this one cut. Ateez Earns a Third World Digital Song Sales No. 1 'In Your Fantasy' gives Ateez its third No. 1 on the World Digital Song Sales tally. The group earned its second champion just a month ago when 'Lemon Drop' also opened in first place, though it quickly vanished. Ateez first conquered the Billboard ranking, which is often associated with K-pop figureheads, in the summer of 2024, when 'Work' launched in first place. The band has now collected a total of 27 top 10 hits, which makes Ateez one of the most successful acts in the history of the tally. 'In Your Fantasy' Also Cracks the Digital Song Sales Top 10 In its first full tracking frame, 'In Your Fantasy' sold just under 2,800 copies throughout the United States, according to Luminate. That sum is large enough for the single to debut inside the top 10 on the Digital Song Sales ranking, which includes all genres and languages. Ateez claims just its second placement ever on that list, and both tunes have cracked the top 10. Ateez Dominates the World Digital Song Sales Chart Ateez commands 60% of all the spaces on the World Digital Song Sales chart this week, as half a dozen tracks launch on the roster. 'In Your Fantasy' leads the charge, followed by 'Sagittarius,' 'Skin,' 'Slide to Me,' 'Legacy,' and 'Roar,' which open one right after the other, coming in at Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, respectively.
