Kesha set for 9:30 p.m. slot after Bonnaroo weather delay
kesha is back on Bonnaroo’s updated Sunday night schedule after severe weather forced a temporary evacuation and pushed the final night off its original timing. By 5:30 p.m. on June 14, the festival grounds had reopened and organizers had released a new timeline for concertgoers and viewers on Disney+ and Hulu.
Bonnaroo’s June 14 reset
Just before 2 p.m. local time on Sunday, Bonnaroo said performances were paused because of storms in the area. Organizers then evacuated Centeroo, turning the afternoon into a wait for the weather to clear and the site to be ready again.
Around 4 p.m. local time, the festival said the severe weather had passed, but Centeroo still was not ready to reopen. That gap mattered because the final night had already been compressed by the delay, and the schedule had to be rebuilt around artists who were still due to play the same evening.
Kesha, Modest Mouse, Noah Kahan
Kesha was assigned the Which Stage from 9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. CT, with Modest Mouse on the This Stage from 9:15 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. CT. Noah Kahan was scheduled for the What Stage from 10:30 p.m. to 12 a.m. CT. Those blocks gave the festival a workable final-night sequence after the pause, and they also gave livestream viewers on Disney+ and Hulu a revised road map for the night.
The shift left Bonnaroo’s audience with a narrower window, not a canceled night. The festival said the storm was expected to last another 2 to 3 hours with moderate to heavy rain and lightning, which explains why the schedule had to wait for the weather and the grounds to catch up to each other before music could resume.
The Farm’s final night
Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is in Manchester, Tenn., on the grounds known as The Farm, and June 14 was the final night of the festival after weather-related delays. The updated schedule was the practical answer to that interruption: reopen the site, reset the clock, and move the night forward without pretending the afternoon pause had not happened.
For anyone planning around the rescheduled set times, the useful move was simple: follow the revised Sunday lineup rather than the original plan, because the new order was the only one that matched the reopened grounds and the festival’s evening program.
