Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Kids - it looks like we may have some rain... Keep in mind that the grass on the farm becomes razor-like when mixed with water... that said, bring rain boots to protect your ankles. Also, if you go to any Big Lots store, you can get an indoor/outdoor carpet (for your campsite) for about $10. It's worth the $$$ to keep from getting the bonaroo rash, which really itches and hurts (and can last for several weeks). Add a small tube of hydrocortisone cream in case you get the grass/jigger attack. You'll be happy you did. Over-and-out from a Bonnaroo Mom.

Heed the warnings of OldLadyRoo. She is most wise.
Consider that these Hay Fields are not that soft cool fescue like at home. It's stiff hardy straw. Cut at least one week prior to our arrival. it wasn't the shortest in the world and it can be sharp.
Ouch - take some boots or socks this time and bring a tube of hydrocortisone cream just in case.... This Bonnarash can last a few weeks, unfortunately.
In the field is a weed - a type of nettle that has tiny hairy "thorns". They may have flowers. As soon as you park and throw your tent out you should begin to look for them. Use a glove or pair of plyers to pull them up (at the base) by the root. Toss them under the car or better yet in the trash. We ALWAYS have about 15 plants per camp site. They blend in well and will indeed fire up your feet.
Instead of dirt and poison, we have rather chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax; thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light.
