Hi guys! I'm new to this website as well as this festival and I had some questions. If someone could answer them I would be really grateful. So I'm 13, and I wanted to know if my age would be an issue at this festival, I'm not new to concerts or festivals, but I was wondering because of the illegal substance use I've heard about here. Also, when do they usually announce the lineup? Also, if anyone can give me tips for the festival I would be extremely gracious. Thanks again!
Welcome to Inforoo! You'll find that if you poke around here there's a ton you can pick up but to briefly give my opinions:
I personally would not bring a thirteen year old to Bonnaroo. It's kind of like a marathon in a sauna. Temperatures can be in the mid-nineties on a daily basis. Shade is at a premium. The sun rises at five and sets at eight. Music stretches until dawn. It's a lot to take in.
The illegal substances are really only a factor if you invite them in. People are pretty chill either way, accepting you whether you are a part of that scene or not.
The line up is expected to be announced in the 2nd week of February.
As far as tips, I would say read a lot here. Dig deep. I will caution you against posting too many questions without taking the time to see if the answers are already out there. This can be a really tense place this time of year and the veterans of this site tend to face a lot of redundant and/or lazy threads that they have seen year upon year. It sometimes doesn't bring out our best side.
I have a 13 year old, I am taking him and my 11 year old to the hangout festival. He could handle Bonnaroo, his sister I am guessing could not. I will be honest, the thing is it takes a lot of parenting to take a 13 year old to festival, so make sure your parents are going to be ok with that. I have not done a camping festival with my kids yet, but we did hit a Phish concert last year, and are going to see Furthur in Atlanta as well. Good luck, and tell your parents they should look at the kidz jam section on here there is a lot of good info.
illegal substances?? at Bonnaroo?? never heard of such
I'm just as confused as you, Meg!
As far as a 13 year old at 'Roo, I'm not a parent, but if I was 13 I don't know if I could've hacked it. Not by myself. With a parent, yeah probably. At the very least I'd recommend someone over 21 with you, as someone else previously mentioned, to act as a guardian of sorts I suppose.
Thanks everyone! Sorry for posting this I had read a few things before this like what I need to bring etc. but the age thing was something I wanted to address. I have a friend who is 24, friend who is 26 and my dad who is 41 going with me and one of my friends went last year. I've been to Rock On The Range which was a two day camping festival, so I think I might have a little bit of experience lol. Also, can you camp in an RV at 'Roo?
