Bonnaroo, the major music festival based in Manchester, Tenn., was forced to cancel the remaining three days of the four-day festival late on Friday, June 13.
The festival explained that they were "beyond gutted" to announce that the weekend's weather forecast anticipated too dangerous of conditions to move forward.
"...significant and steady precipitation...will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days," the festival announced on social media.
The news comes after a significant weather delay was put in place earlier on Friday due to approaching storm cells.
"Some of your fellow campers' sites are in rough shape," the statement continued, noting that the rain so far had made "certain parts of [the property] difficult to manage." As such, the festival was prioritizing getting campers in affected areas and folks with accessibility needs out to safety as soon as they could.
Food, health and safety stations are set to remain operational throughout the evacuation. All single-day ticket-holders for the rest of the weekend can expect 100 percent refunds, while those with four-day tickets will receive 75 percent of their money back.
