2023 music festival season is in high gear — and you can stay updated on the best music festivals in the handy Uproxx Music Festival Preview. This past weekend, tens of thousands of fans descended on Manchester, Tennessee for the 2023 edition of the iconic Bonnaroo, which saw more than 150 artists perform on more than 10 different stages. It was absolute madness once again for the festival known for combining genres and aesthetics, with everything from dance music, hip-hop, country, rock, and pop music featuring during the four-day event.

A host of memorable performances highlighted this year’s slate. Foo Fighters, Kendrick Lamar, and Odesza were the headliners, but notable sets were also delivered by the likes of Tennessee natives Paramore, nu metal legends Korn, Roo regulars My Morning Jacket, rising rap star Baby Keem, and tons more, like Tyler Childers, Marcus Mumford, Lil Nas X, Fleet Foxes, and Sheryl Crow. But anyone that’s been to Bonnaroo will tell you that while the bands are the driving force of the festival, the sense of community makes it stand out in a crowded festival field. There’s truly no place like The Farm.

Uproxx sent photographer Paul L. Carter to capture the action. Check out some highlights from the weekend in the form of festival photos and artist portraits.

Things are heating up in Manchester, Tennessee, as the Bonnaroo Festival 2023 sets down its roots. The musical portion of the festival officially kicks off on Thursday, June 15, and will run until Sunday, June 18. Last week, due to the Canadian wildfires, Governors Ball 2023 ticket holders grew concerned with the weather conditions. Although there haven’t been any freak incidents in nature looming over the Volunteer State, as Kendrick Lamar, Foo Fighters, Odesza, Zeds Dead, and Liquid Stranger are scheduled to headline, festivalgoers want to know the weather forecast for Bonnaroo 2023.

Other notable names slated to perform at the festival include Lil Nas X, Paramore, JID, Baby Keem, Vulfpeck, Three 6 Mafia, Korn, Fleet Foxes, Sylvan Esso, Rina Sawayama, Alex G, Muna, Black MIDI, 070 Shake, Big Freedia, Yung Gravy, and The Beths.
