Bonnaroo is set to debut a new 360-degree stage at the festival’s 2025 edition.
The four-day camping festival will return to Manchester, Tennessee, from June 12-15, with its new “Infinity Stage” to host Bonnaroo’s first 360-degree music experience, billed as “the world’s largest and most immersive” of its kind.
Though little is known about the new stage, The Festive Owl reports that it will outsize the current tents in the festival’s main Centeroo area and features speakers positioned behind and above the crowd, in addition to head-on sound coming from the center of its in-the-round-setup.
Designed and helmed by global production studio Polygon Live, the production concept makes use of L-Acoustics’ new L-ISA Spatial Audio System, which allows sound to spread around three-dimensional space with immense flexibility, wrapping the audience in a spiderweb of audio and light, as opposed to conventional mixing, which blends sound between left and right channels.
The upcoming edition of Bonnaroo will mark the Polygon concept’s first deployment in the United States, following previous appearances at festivals such as Saudi Arabia’s MDLBeast, Thailand’s Wonderfruit, and Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE).
Bonnaroo’s 2025 lineup will be revealed this Wednesday, January 8, the festival announced last week. Last year’s festival featured performances from Pretty Lights, FISHER, Post Malone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fred again.. and many more.
