Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is scheduled to return to Manchester, Tennessee, on June 11-14, 2026, and Disney+ and Hulu plan to carry the event live for viewers outside the festival grounds. Disney+ and Hulu said on May 18 that Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits Music Festival will stream across both platforms for the first time. Bonnaroo’s official site lists the 2026 event dates as June 11-14 in Manchester. Disney said exact programming details for each festival will be announced closer to the event dates. ### When is Bonnaroo happening, and where is it being held? Bonnaroo’s website says the 2026 festival will take place June 11-14 in Manchester, Tennessee. The site describes the event as a four-day festival and links to lineup, schedule, tickets and festival guide pages for this year’s edition. The schedule page lists Centeroo and Outeroo programming by day, indicating the multi-stage format remains in place. (press.disneyplus.com) Manchester, Tennessee, remains the festival’s home base, according to Bonnaroo’s official homepage. The lineup page and support pages direct attendees to the festival’s current artist listings, while the guide page includes on-site planning details such as wristband registration and cashless-payment information tied to the June 14 festival close. ### What exactly are Disney+ and Hulu streaming? (bonnaroo.com) Disney+ and Hulu said they will stream Bonnaroo live across both platforms, alongside Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits Music Festival, giving subscribers access to performances in real time. Disney’s press release said the offering will include performances, highlights and behind-the-scenes access. Pollstar reported that the coverage will also include “Live Set,” an on-site studio format with artist interviews and festival features. (bonnaroo.com) The Disney announcement said the livestreams will be available globally on Disney+ and on Hulu. Deadline separately reported the Bonnaroo streaming window as June 11-14, matching the festival dates listed by Bonnaroo. ### Is this new for Bonnaroo viewers? Hulu has previously been associated with festival livestreams, but Disney said the 2026 rollout marks the first time Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits will stream across both Disney+ and Hulu. (press.disneyplus.com) The change expands access beyond a single service and places the festivals inside Disney’s broader streaming lineup. The Walt Disney Company has been integrating Hulu more closely with Disney+, including profile linking for select Hulu subscribers announced this week. That broader streaming setup provides the backdrop for putting live music events on both services at once. ### What details are still missing before Bonnaroo starts? Disney said exact programming details will be released closer to each festival date. (press.disneyplus.com) That means the companies have confirmed the event window and the platforms, but have not yet published the full streaming schedule, artist-by-artist set coverage or daily rundown for Bonnaroo. Bonnaroo’s own website already has separate pages for lineup and schedule, but the Disney announcement does not specify which sets will be carried live, whether all stages will be covered, or when individual streams will begin each day. (thewaltdisneycompany.com) Those details are expected nearer to June 11. ### What comes next before the festival opens? June 11 is Bonnaroo’s opening day in Manchester, Tennessee, according to the festival website. (press.disneyplus.com) Before then, viewers will be waiting for Disney+ and Hulu to publish the promised programming details, while festivalgoers can use Bonnaroo’s official lineup, schedule, tickets and guide pages for on-site planning.
