The Bonnaroovian Code 🌈✨ - 2026
Hey y’all! Roo 2026 is right around the corner, and before we all head to the Farm, I wanted to share an annual reminder about something every Bonnaroovian should know: The Bonnaroovian Code 🌈✨
There’s always a fresh wave of new Roovians each year, and it’s up to us veterans to pass along the spirit and keep that special Roo energy alive. It’s been more than two decades of magic, music, and community, and the Code is a big part of what keeps this place so special.
So, what is the Bonnaroovian Code? Think of it as Roo’s unofficial rulebook for good vibes and even better humans. Respect the Farm. Look out for each other. Stay kind, stay weird, and stay hydrated. Learn it. Live it. Pass it on. Let’s make Roo 2026 the most unforgettable one yet. 💚🌄
Prepare Thyself
A prepared Bonnaroovian is a happy Bonnaroovian. Multiple days camping in the Tennessee countryside isn't something you should jump into without some planning. Plan ahead and you'll be off to a great start.
Play as a Team
Whether you're here with family or hanging with strangers, we are ALL on the same team at Bonnaroo. Help your neighbors when they need it, share that bottle of water when it's hot, and work together to make everyone's Bonnaroo experience the best it can be.
Radiate Positivity
Possibly the most well-known tenet of the Bonnaroovian Code, "Radiate Positivity" might sound simple, but it's much more powerful than people realize. When we step foot on The Farm, we all do our best to be our best, and it makes all the difference. Be awesome to one another.
Respect the Farm
The Farm is our home, and just like we work to protect our mother earth we all need to pitch in to respect The Farm. Recycle when you can, compost too, and make sure you and the people around you are respectful of the space. There are some events where people leave a field of trash after every set - Bonnaroo is not one of those events. Do your part to keep Bonnaroo special.
Don't Be That Person
We've all seen it, and it's not pretty. Have a great time while you're here, but make sure your idea of a great time never involves ruining someone else's night or putting yourself in danger. Take things slow, be respectful, and remember your fellow Bonnaroovians.
Stay True Roo
The Bonnaroovian code isn't just for 4 days a year in Tennessee – it's for all Bonnaroovians, everywhere and all the time. Bring the spirit of Bonnaroo with you out into the world and let's make life on this floating space-marble we call Earth just a little bit better for everyone.
Happy Roo! See you in just a couple of weeks! ✌️
