Organizers of the 2025 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival are sharing updated refund details following the event’s abrupt cancellation due to severe weather.

In a social media post shared Friday (June 20), organizers announced that all ticket buyers will now receive a 100% refund, reversing an earlier decision to offer only 75%. They also noted that future dates for the Manchester, Tenn., event will not be announced at this time.

“We want you to know that were still listening and actively discussing plans to improve The Farm that we love so much,” the statement read on Instagram. “At this time, we will not be announcing future dates.”

Bonnaroo initially offered a 75% refund after heavy rains flooded campgrounds, forcing the four-day festival to shut down after just one day of performances. But after widespread backlash and an online petition demanding full refunds — which garnered more than 6,000 signatures, according to Nashville’s WZTV — organizers changed course.

The updated refund policy comes amid uncertainty about Bonnaroo’s future plans. “When plans for the future take shape, you all be the first to know,” the statement continued.

“Everyone who works on this show loves Bonnaroo deeply. Some of us have been here since the early years, some were fans first, and some are new but fell in love with it as soon as they felt your energy and spirit on The Farm. We look forward to this show all year. It’s what re-energizes us and restores our faith in community every single summer.”

Organizers added, “Our main goal is to give you the most memorable weekend of your lives every year. This cancellation broke our hearts beyond measure, but we knew it had to happen for your safety. Thank you for your patience and perseverance through this difficult situation.”

The 2025 edition of Bonnaroo launched on June 12, featuring performances from Luke Combs, Dom Dolla, Insane Clown Posse and Rebecca Black. But just a day later, severe thunderstorms prompted an evacuation notice, and the remainder of the festival was canceled. Other headliners scheduled for the canceled days included Tyler, The Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hozier.

Morgan Wallen continued his trend of making grand entrances with sports icons during the launch of his I’m the Problem tour in Texas.

Before taking the stage at Houston’s NRG Stadium on Friday (June 20), the 32-year-old country superstar made an electrifying entrance at the home of the NFL’s Houston Texans. This time, he was joined by former Texans legend Andre Johnson.

Wallen and Johnson walked side by side as their moment was broadcast on the venue’s jumbotrons, with Wallen’s 2022 hit “Broadway Girls” featuring Lil Durk blasting through the speakers. In a surprise twist, Houston businessman and philanthropist Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale — owner of Gallery Furniture and known for his massive sports bets — also joined the walkout.

The walkout moment, which has become a highlight at Wallen’s shows — with previous guest appearances including Travis Kelce, Troy Aikman, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady — was shared on Wallen’s Instagram. Fellow country star Jelly Roll couldn’t help but react in the comments.

“Just when I think you can’t goat yourself anymore — you bring out Mack in Houston- CRAZZYYYYY. Love you bubba,” Jelly wrote.

During his performance of “I’m the Problem” on Friday, Wallen displayed a montage of negative headlines on the video screen. As the song ended, he appeared to pour gasoline on the stage and mimed setting it ablaze. The track peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year and held the top spot on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for eight weeks.

Wallen’s concert at NRG Stadium marks the start of his 20-date I’m the Problem tour, which runs through Sept. 13 and visits 10 cities. The trek features supporting acts Koe Wetzel, Miranda Lambert, Brooks & Dunn, Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock and Thomas Rhett.

“I spend months at this point getting ready to get on tour, just getting in shape,” Wallen recently told Apple Music Country. “I don’t have to be in any kind of crazy shape to record in the studio. With how big my stage is, how much I run around, and how much effort that me and the guys put into it, I don’t think you would know that by just listening to the record.”

The outing supports Wallen’s chart-topping fourth studio album, I’m the Problem, which has held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for four consecutive weeks since its May 16 release.

Kacey Musgraves is recuperating after sustaining an injury from a fall while in Mexico.

In a post to Instagram Stories on Friday (June 20), Musgraves shared an image of an x-ray shot of her ribs. She wrote over the image, “Sooo I’m in Mexico with a f—in’ broken rib. Wednesday night it was raining and I was running to grab some towels and had an extremely hard fall on some very slick tile I didn’t see. Thankful I didn’t smack my head but I landed very very hard on my back left ribcage and I broke rib number 6.”

She added, “This s— is no joke. I’m in a lot of pain and doing anything is extremely difficult but I’m managing and being well taken care of.”

Musgraves noted that due to the injury, she would be rescheduling her performance at a Sing For Science event, which had been set for Sunday (June 22) at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. “There is no physical way I can get on a plane and fly back to Nashville … I am extremely bummed to have to reschedule as I have been looking forward to this for months but there is literally no other option,” she wrote. “I’m so sorry for the inconvenience.”

The event is now set to take place on Sept. 18 at the Ryman. In addition to Musgraves’ performance, the event will also feature fungi expert Paul Stamets. The tickets purchased for the original June 22 show are valid for the new Sept. 18 date. The event, sponsored in part by The Simons Foundation, is a live taping of the Sing For Science podcast.

Musgraves’ other upcoming shows, according to her website, include a July 5 appearance at the Zootown Festival in Montana and an Aug. 2 appearance at Hinterland Music Festival in Iowa.

Since blasting onto the scene with his breakthrough hit “Beautiful Things,” Benson Boone has become the internet’s favorite punching bag. But instead of trying to prove them wrong, the singer decided to lean in with his latest music video.

On Friday (June 20), Boone dropped the tongue-in-cheek music video for his new song “Mr. Electric Blue,” off his just-released LP American Heart. From the start of the clip, Boone goes out of his way to play with all the worst things the internet has to say about him when he walks into “Industry Plant Records” wearing a t-shirt that simply says “one hit wonder” for a frank conversation with his sleazy agent (played by his frequent songwriting collaborator Jack LaFrantz).

“Have you not been on the internet? Everything is terrible, Benson! We put all of our money into ‘moonbeam ice cream’ and the backflip, and it’s done absolutely horrible,” LaFrantz’s character tells an exasperated Boone. He informs the singer that he owes his faux label $10 million, and suggests that he find “a new gimmick” like “good songwriting.” At the suggestion, Boone deflates: “You know I can’t do that.”

What ensues is a madcap montage, where Boone takes as many odd jobs as he can to raise the money. He walks dogs (while wearing another T-shirt that says “”), mows lawns (for a company called “Auto-Tune Trimmers”), washes cars (with bumper stickers declaring “mustaches are lame”) sells his sparkly jumpsuits and even opens a moonbeam ice cream truck. Of course, that still doesn’t stop the criticism from coming — when he’s recognized by a little girl as “the guy who sings ‘Beautiful Things,’” she quickly humbles him: “Your music is terrible.”

For his hustling and hard work, Boone makes a grand total of $168, but begs LaFrantz’s agent to give him another chance. But his agent assures him that he found a better solution, saying he “sold your entire catalog to retail chains, fast food chains and movie theaters,” promising that “you’ll be the most overplayed artist in the world, and I’ll be rich.” A dejected Boone sighs and smiles, saying “that’s all I’ve ever wanted,” before celebrating his ubiquity.

It’s far from the first time Boone has commented on the way people perceive him. The singer posted a TikTok back in April, explaining that he could understand people not liking him or his music if there were more people offering concrete reasons for their distaste. “I just read a comment that said ‘idek why I hate Benson Boone but it feels right,’” he wrote on the video. “Like WHAT!!? how am I supposed to improve after reading that? At least say something valid like ‘he low key just flips everywhere can he [do] anything else?’”
