Even though Bonnaroo 2025 was cut short, we’re bringing you the unforgettable moments we captured during our time on the Farm. In this first part of our Audio Postcards from the Farm series, Daniel shares unforgettable recordings with fellow Bonnaroovians, including the crew from Church Boners, Caleb from the Bonnaroo Yearbook, and many more friends we met at the legendary Monkey Bar.

We reminisce about our favorite moments from the Farm, talk about what fans are most excited to see at Bonnaroo 2026, and even dive into some of Sharla’s wild and hilarious Roo dreams. 

Part two, featuring Sharla’s recordings, drops next week - don’t miss it!

2025's Wednesday Party was one of the best ever, and we've got the two guys who put it all together on this week to talk about how it came to be.  Running your own event in Outeroo can be work, but it's totally worth it.  Matty and Andrew are here to talk about what worked for them this past year in putting together the best Outeroo activation that 2025 had to offer.  

Also, in the second half of the episode, Andrew uses his expertise as one of the driving forces of /r/Bonnaroo's Rumor and Confirmation thread to give us a first look at what 2026's lineup might have to offer.

What might future improvements on the Farm look like?  What does the early cancellation mean for the City of Manchester?  Why do the Braves suck this year?  We dig into these questions and much more with former Alderman and current front man for the South Central TN Tourism Association, Ryan French.  Ryan and his whole crew have been essentially been the First Family of Bonnaroo for many years, and we're thrilled to have him on this week to talk about what the coming years may look like on the Farm.

It's officially official, we will all be back on the Farm together starting on June 11th of 2026.  Things will look just a little different next year, so we've gathered a panel to talk about some of the changes that are coming our way!

Sharla and Daniel are back this week to go through part two of our review of what happened and how everyone's feeling in the wake of the rained out Roo.  We talk a little bit about the full refund and survey news, as well as go through a lot of our personal journeys in how we're feeling about everything.

Alright, Bonnaroo.  Let's really dive in on everything that's occurred this last week.  We want you to know that you are heard, your feelings are valid, and we know it sucks.  Sharla and Daniel did a lot of homework in putting this together and wanted to let you know what we know, what we're hearing, and how we move forward.  Times are tough, but we truly believe that better days and more Bonnaroo is ahead.

Now more than ever, get out there radiate positivity.

We've got some last minute updates, but mainly it's silly season with Brooklin and Lacey!  We'll go through a few details on the delayed entry and what all we have going on in both Outeroo and Centeroo, but just be prepared for things to get really out of control with the ladies as we get ready to get back to the greatest party on the planet.

We are ONE WEEK away from the greatest party on the planet.  To get us ready, we're joined this week by an actual queen, Chloe!  Well, maybe she isn't really part of any royal lineage we know, but she is Roo Royalty as last year's Roovian of the Year.  She's here to walk through THE CODE with us, an absolute must-know before we get back to the Farm.  Sharla and Daniel also have a lot to go through with TOTEM events, and also less importantly but still amazing, the new neighborhood Taco Bell.

GET YO' ASS HYDRATED, ROO IS ALMOST HERE.
