Unsurprisingly, annual music fest Bonnaroo has been postponed this year until September. The festival—with a 2020 lineup including Lizzo, Tame Impala, The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey, Tool, Vampire Weekend, The 1975, Run the Jewels, and Brittany Howard—was supposed to take place June 11-14 at Manchester, Tennessee’s Great Stage Park. Now it has been moved to September 24-27 due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.

Bonnaroo shared the news via Instagram, explaining the event has been moved “out of an abundance of caution and for the health and safety of all Bonnaroovians, artists, staff and our community. All current tickets and onsite accommodations (camping, tent rentals, RV, etc.) will be honored for the new weekend. Fans with off-site accommodations and shuttles purchased through the festival will be contacted directly with updates.”

The statement continues, “Rest assured, we will share updates as quickly as possible via email, our website and on our social accounts. Please continue to radiate positivity through this uncharted time in our world. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you on The Farm this fall.”

There’s a growing wave of cancellations and postponements right now, among them the ACM Awards, SXSW, the Met Gala, Coachella, Stagecoach, and the Tribeca Film Festival.
