Putting Bonnaroo Together

Setting up (and tearing down) the biggest music festival in the country is a grueling task done by hundreds of people over several weeks, as I’m sure you can imagine. It takes a lot longer to set it up, than it does to tear it down. And let’s not forget the gracious people at CleanVibes who have the dirtiest jobs of all, picking up all the garbage we leave behind.

Here are some pictures of what’s been happening down on the farm over the past month:

 

View from what will become the campgrounds. If you look closely you can see the Bonnaroo Arc. The Arc stays up year round.

700-acres to cut. Wonder how long that takes? You can also see the Bonnaroo Fountain in the background, which also stays up year round.

Since being built last year, the Fuse Barn also remains on the farm year round.
