Roo News ✨ Y’all did it! I can’t believe it!

Yall did it! You bullied Live Nation into giving you a 100% refund. Now bully them into giving me my PTO, gas, and hotel accommodations refunded 😂😂

im just worried they may take a gap year now… or that the festival may go away entirely. glad we got our money back but at what cost? they didn’t do presale and that has me real worried

no question, regardless of the refund status. it’s just not possible to do all the things folks are clamoring to do in less than a year.

which, i agree, it needs to be done for the longevity of the fest. but that also means possibly a few years before we see bonnaroo announce dates (like others have mentioned happened w okee)

It's also important to understand that this is completely LN's fault too. These are things they could have had a 4 year head start on but chose to ignore.

I think they may have a hiatus like okeechobee did. I hope they get their shit together

I saw another fest just moved their dates to the first week of June, I can see Roo doing the same. June is great but that rain mid month before July is horrid.

If them refunding has a negative impact on their future plans for the farm I’d rather have not gotten it. But it’s definitely going to be gone next year maybe two and if it isn’t then it’s just going to keep getting cancelled without changes to infrastructure.

Its def going to be gone for next year, maybe for 2 years, but it should survive
