Bonnaroo is a ton of fun, but it does require some planning. You should receive a list of things to take and things not to take when your Bonnaroo tickets arrive. I’ve taken this photo of some of the most important.
Bring lots of water! You can buy more there, but it'll cost you. A rain poncho is always a good thing.
Sunscreen is a must, and I like the handy portable sized containers for touch ups while in Bonnaroo Village. Being in 90+ degree temps for 4 days is bad enough, but being sunburned on top of it sucks. Maybe it won’t get that hot this year, but I wouldn’t count on it.
Can you say handy wipes? Thank goodness for these little suckers. They have so many uses in a dusty scene like Bonnaroo. During the 2006 festival, I was amazed at the amount of dust 100,000 people can kick up. When I arrived the first day I thought, “Gee, wonder why they didn’t cut the grass?’’ By Friday, the grass was brown straw. It never really rained last year, so by Saturday night the sunset looked like something from a Mars mission. And of course, wet wipes are very useful when you're using porta-potties.
Speaking of porta-potties, bring tissue packs. You never know when you’ll need one!

One of those really cool modern one-person tents is also a lifesaver.
I went a couple of years ago and had a great time, wish I could go every year. Oh well, back to work and day dreaming.... or the other way around.
So great of you to do this. I wish my daughter knew about it before she went for the first time last year...whole lotta learnin goin on then.
Only other thing she wanted was a hand held fan-cause it was hot.
She loved it-hot sweat and all.
