Bonnaroo music festival cancelled due to flooding from Ida

The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival has been cancelled due to flooded campgrounds amid the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, organizers announced Tuesday. The four-day event was scheduled to begin Thursday in Manchester, Tennessee, and feature performers like the Foo Fighters, Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, and Tame Impala. 

"We are absolutely heartbroken to announce that we must cancel Bonnaroo," organizers said in a statement. "While this weekend's weather looks outstanding, currently Centeroo is waterlogged in many areas, the ground is incredibly saturated on our tollbooth paths, and the campgrounds are flooded to the point that we are unable to drive in or park vehicles safely." Organizers said they have seen "a tremendous amount of rain" over the past 24 hours as the remnants of Hurricane Ida – a Category 4 storm that made landfall in Louisiana on Sunday – move through the area.
