Bonnaroo 2025 cancelled after just one night due to severe storms days after co-founder's death
The remainder of music festival Bonnaroo has been cancelled due to weather just days after the death of one of its co-founders. Set to run through Sunday at Bonnaroo Farm in Manchester, Tennessee, the music festival was cancelled Friday evening after hours of delays and even an evacuation notice. 'Today, the National Weather Service provided us with an updated forecast with significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days,' Bonnaroo shared via Instagram. 'We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo.' The festival promised at least partial refunds for all ticket holders, many of whom paid hundreds of dollars to attend. Luke Combs was the only of the four headliners to deliver a performance. He took the stage Thursday night and performed alongside fellow country star Miranda Lambert onstage, as well as Marcus King and Jon Bellion. The other headliners, Tyler, the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo and Hozier, have all had their sets cancelled. Additional performers slated to take the stage included Vampire Weekend, GloRilla, Tyla, Avril Lavigne, Queens of the Stone Age, John Summit, Dom Dolla, and Glass Animals. 'We have put our hearts and souls into making this weekend the most special one of the year, and cannot express how crushed we are to have made this decision,' Bonnaroo's statement concluded. 'Thank you in advance for your patience, your positivity and your unfailing Bonnaroovian spirit.' Many fans were disappointed by the cancellation, with some noting it wasn't the first time in recent years attendees found themselves in this situation. 'Wondering what this means for the future of bonnaroo honestly. 3 cancellations in 5 years isn't looking good for us,' one fan wrote on Instagram. 'First and last bonnaroo. Absolute s*** show, not to mention not a speck of rain was seen after they cancelled,' another shared, while someone else agreed: 'Literally spent THOUSANDS of dollars flying from Hawaii……. first roo and most likely my last.' The fan-favorite festival's last minute cancellation came days after the death of one of its co-founders. Jonathan Mayers, who helped create a number of major American festivals, died earlier this week at 51. No cause of death has yet been announced. In a statement to Billboard, Red Light Management founder Coran Capshaw said: 'This is incredibly tough news for so many of us. Jon was the creative force behind so much of what people experience at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, and many other events over the years. We're all really going to miss him.' Mayers co-founded promotions company Superfly with partners Rick Farman, Richard Goodstone and Kerry Black in 1996. They hosted their first concert during Mardi Gras. The four worked together to launch Bonnaroo in 2002 after securing the festival site on farmland in Manchester, an hour outside of Nashville. They worked closely with Capshaw's Red Light Management and other industry figures to book headliners, including the Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. In 2008, Mayers partnered with Another Planet Entertainment to create the Outside Lands festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Mayers left Superfly acrimoniously in 2021, and the following year sued his former partners Farman, Goodstone and Black, accusing them of civil misrepresentation, breach of contract and fraud. Mayers alleged that they had misrepresented the value of his shares in the promotions company. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2023. Superfly said in a statement to Billboard: 'We are heartbroken with the passing of Jonathan. He was a cherished part of Superfly's story, woven into it's history and legacy. In addition to the role he's played in bringing joy to millions, we will miss his razor sharp wit, infectious smile and contagious laugh. No one could light up a room like Jon.'

Behold, the Best Festival Outfits at NYC's 2025 Governors Ball
At this year's Governors Ball music festival in New York's Flushing Meadows Corona Park, artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Hozier, and Tyler, the Creator headlined its 15th anniversary and brought fans together in the name of live music. Folks from all walks of life trekked their way through the grounds to catch their favorite artists' sets, and a constant we picked up on all weekend was the intricacies of their attire. Because let's be real: fashion fiends and musicheads are the final bosses of festival season. Whether they were decked out in Doc Martens and sequinned hot shorts to pay homage to O-Rod or rocked Golf Le Fleur to awaken their inner CHROMAKOPIA, fans did not come to play with their looks this year. ICYMI, festival fashion has long evolved from the bohemian chic flower crown era. Attendees pulled out their favorite thrift finds and even put in the work to make their own looks. Some even centered their outfits around a singular beauty product, which made for a wildly impressive turnout. Naturally, we set up shop on Gov Ball's festival grounds and caught up with some of music's best-dressed superfans as we lensed them on Instax film. Spoiler alert: they did not disappoint, so scroll through and get ready to screenshot inspiration for your festival season moodboard. 'The whole group went with more 90s influences just to kind of match Tyler, the Creator's vibe. My sister's a nail artist and she did them for free. They're junk inspired.' 'Kind of a festival fairy vibe. Woodsy, festival, fairy, and black.' 'So, this tank is from the Goodwill bins. It was, like, 50 cents. Not even. The skirt is from when I was a teenager, I think it's old Forever 21, and my dad got me these sunglasses.' 'Tyla! I'm South African, like my heritage—my grandmother was born in Port Elizabeth. My cousin actually introduced me to Tyla, and so I've been literally in love with her ever since. Then she blew up, so one of the main reasons I came to Gov Ball was to see her, but there's so many other artists I love. I decided to base my outfit on her.' 'I wanted to be a mermaid. NYX came out with their beautiful butter highlighters, and I was like, You know what? I love this bluish green one. I brought it with me because I loved it that much. I was like, yep, that's gonna be my inspiration.' 'Tyler, the Creator and honestly, The Wasia Project. It was so good and I'm so dumb—I just realized that the pianist is one of the guys in Heartstopper. I lost my shit, bro.' 'Stevie Nicks, I love her. I just like this rebellious kind of look, and this dress is from a thrift in Brazil.' 'I know she's a new, breaking artist, and I loved her first song, 'Water.' After that, I'd always wanted to follow her, and this is my first concert seeing her.' 'Actually, all of it is thrifted, so I'm not exactly sure where it is all from. But, mostly thrift shops around Brooklyn.' 'Honestly, my inspiration was something airy, something comfortable, something that just represents me as a person. The cheetah print is something fun, but also still swaggy and chill.' 'I made my waist chains, but this entire outfit was planned literally two hours before I left because I don't like buying new clothes. So, I just pulled whatever I already had.' 'I couldn't really find a country outfit to go for Role Model, so I went out on a whim, found these overalls at Target, and it just worked. The hat's from my boyfriend's house, the belt's from Urban Outfitters, and the Converse are from... Converse!' Shot on Instax Film. Cameras and Film Provided by Fujifilm.

Olivia Rodrigo, Benson Boone, FEID, and More Brought the Best Performances to Gov Ball 2025
As the temps start rising into a blistering summer heat and our speakers turn up a few decibels, that can only mean one thing: festival season is officially upon us. Whether you hit the grounds to discover new artists, try some next-level bites, or pull up in your best outfits, music festivals are the best place to hang out and build a community. All of the above were accomplished at New York City's very own Governors Ball, as its return to Flushing Meadows Corona Park marked its 15th anniversary and gave us an extra reason to pull up and celebrate. The festival felt like a perfectly curated soundtrack to our summer—with headliners like Tyler, the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hozier offering set after set of jaw-dropping energy. Even with weather delays smack in the middle of the festival, crowds formed for their fave artists, and every genre found its spotlight: T‑Pain brought on some Y2K nostalgia, Clairo serenaded festival goers in the soft rain, and indie's rising star stole the hearts of newfound fans. Whether you were vibing through Benson Boone's backflips or bouncing with The Beaches, the energy was seriously contagious. It's no wonder Gov Ball has been New York's must-see festival for 15 unstoppable years, and of course, some of Cosmo's editors were on the grounds to witness it all and gush about the best sets from Gov Ball's 2025 lineup.
