Disney+, Hulu to livestream Bonnaroo 2026

Disney+ and Hulu said on May 18 they will carry live streams of Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits in 2026, expanding festival coverage across both services for the first time. The move adds Disney+ to a live-music package that Hulu has carried for several years and gives the company a broader global outlet for three of Live Nation’s biggest U.S. festivals. Bonnaroo is first on the calendar, with the Tennessee event scheduled for June 11-14 in Manchester. Disney said more details on each stream will be released closer to the festivals. ### Which festivals are included in the new streaming deal? Disney+ and Hulu said the agreement covers Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits Music Festival. Disney described the streams as global across both platforms, marking the first time the three festivals will be available live on Disney+ as well as Hulu. TicketNews reported the arrangement this week, and Disney’s press release said subscribers will get live performances, highlights and behind-the-scenes access in real time. Deadline reported the rollout as part of Disney+’s broader push into live programming. ### When does Bonnaroo stream, and where is it happening? (press.disneyplus.com) MLive said Bonnaroo will run from June 11 through June 14 in Manchester, Tennessee. Disney’s announcement said the festival is the first of the three on the 2026 schedule, meaning the joint Disney+ and Hulu coverage begins with Bonnaroo next month. Digital Music News and other entertainment outlets listed the same June 11-14 window for Bonnaroo, followed by Lollapalooza from July 30 to Aug. 2 and Austin City Limits later in October. (ticketnews.com) Austin City Limits is scheduled for two weekends, according to coverage citing Disney’s announcement. ### What changes for viewers this year? Hulu has been the streaming home for several Live Nation festival broadcasts, but Disney said 2026 will be the first year these three festivals stream across both Hulu and Disney+ together. (mlive.com) Yahoo’s entertainment coverage said that expands availability beyond Hulu-only access and makes the streams available globally on Disney+ as well. Media Play News reported the live streams will be available worldwide for the first time across both platforms, beginning June 11. (digitalmusicnews.com) That gives Disney a larger international footprint for events that had been more closely associated with Hulu in prior years. ### Can fans still go in person? (press.disneyplus.com) Rolling Stone reported on May 20 that last-minute Bonnaroo ticket deals were available on secondary marketplaces including StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats, while Bonnaroo’s official ticket page also continued listing festival passes for sale. The festival’s site showed four-day general admission passes starting at $435 at the time it was crawled. (mediaplaynews.com) Rolling Stone’s ticket guide also listed this year’s dates as June 11-14 and said the lineup includes Noah Kahan, Kesha, The Strokes and Role Model. That means the livestream announcement arrives while the event is still actively selling both official and resale inventory. ### What happens next before the cameras go live? (rollingstone.com) Disney said additional details about each livestream will be released ahead of the festivals. Bonnaroo opens on June 11 in Manchester, Tennessee, Lollapalooza follows on July 30 in Chicago, and Austin City Limits begins its first weekend on Oct. 2 in Austin, according to reports citing the May 18 announcement.
