On Saturday (June 17), Grammy-nominated EDM duo ODESZA will headline the main stage while other sets include pop powerhouse Lil Nas X, Dreamville breakout J.I.D., and rock-pop icon Sheryl Crow. Finally, Sunday (June 18) will feature Billboard 200 chart-toppers Foo Fighters as the night’s headliner, along with performances from country star Kip Moore, musical prodigy Jacob Collier, and This Is Why rockers Paramore.
While the marquee acts are reliable and fun, Bonnaroo boasts performances from over 100 musical acts across hip-hop, rock, EDM, country, and more.
