Camping at Bonnaroo: Must-Know Updates and New Amenities for 2025

Bonnaroo isn't just about the music - camping is a huge part of the experience, and that's the focus of this week's episode of The What Podcast. Listeners recently submitted their top camping questions on our Discord, and we brought in Brad Parker, Festival Director for C3 Presents, to get the answers straight from the source. Brad breaks down the biggest updates for 2025, including improved amenities, new camping options, re-entry policies, and safety enhancements. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned Roo veteran, this episode is packed with must-know info to help you prepare for the farm. But that’s not all! We also break some news about the brand-new Infinity Stage coming to Bonnaroo and its location on The Farm, plus we dive into the "Roo Clues" that Shaky Knees has been teasing about their lineup. Huge thanks to Brad for joining us and answering so many listener questions - this episode is jam-packed with insights you won’t want to miss!
