Heartbroken at Bonnaroo: Artists, fans react to abrupt cancellation, 'this was gonna be a special one'
Bonnaroo 2025 will forever go down in the books by a new name: Bummeroo. Due to severe weather and flooding at The Farm, Bonnaroo officials posted on social media at 7:40 p.m. June 13 that the remainder of the festival would be canceled. "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 to make this decision," they said in their statement. "Thank you in advance for your patience, your positivity and your unfailing Bonnaroovian spirit." Around 1 p.m. on June 13, festival officials suspended shows and evacuated Centeroo, the main festival grounds. Over the next six hours, 'Roo-goers were asked to shelter in their vehicles as weather oscillated between gentle showers and thunderstorms. About an inch of rain fell on Manchester, according to the National Weather Service, causing swampy and muddy conditions in Centeroo and the surrounding campgrounds in Outeroo. After news broke about the festival's cancellation, artists on the bill started to post their reactions. "Bonnaroo cancelled :(" DJ John Summit posted on his Instagram story. "So bummed for everyone who came, this was gonna be a special one but u can't control Mother Nature.. stay safe til next time fam." Summit was scheduled to perform on June 13.

The band said they would be premiering a set from their second night of shows in Colorado at 9:30 p.m. CST on Youtube on June 13 for free.

We spent hella on transportation, food, etc. 'rain or shine,'" one person said. "Literally spent THOUSANDS of dollars flying from Hawaii……. first roo and most likely my last," another person said. Other commenters disagree. "They could give 200% refund and yall still wouldn't be happy they're prioritizing your safety," a commenter wrote. "This breaks my heart for all the vendors who spent thousands of dollars to be there and are losing over two days of projected sales and their entire vending fee," said another. "Y'all have the audacity to be mad about a 75% refund… but vendors don't get refunds AT ALL in these situations. Be grateful." Some festival attendees have taken a lighter approach to the cancellation. "HOW WILL I RELEASE MY INHIBITIONS AND FEEL THE RAIN ON MY SKIN NOW," one person said, nodding to Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten." Bedingfield was set to perform at The Farm on June 15. "Friday the 13th hitting hard this year," one commenter wrote. And one concise comment sums it up the best: "It's ROOined :(" More: Bonnaroo 2025 canceled due to weather.

Benson Boone Makes Hot 100 History
Benson Boone is actively promoting three singles from his forthcoming album, American Heart. 'Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else,' 'Mystical Magical,' and 'Momma Song' all appear on multiple Billboard charts at the moment, but none are performing nearly as well as the track that started it all for him. 'Beautiful Things' broke Boone into the mainstream and has become a historic smash for the pop singer. It is still present on the Hot 100 this week, even though the musician stopped promoting the tune long ago. Amazingly, it lives in a loftier position than both 'Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else' and 'Mystical Magical,' the first two official singles from his forthcoming sophomore full-length. This frame, 'Beautiful Things' rises from No. 14 to No. 10, reentering the most competitive space on the Hot 100. As it climbs, the track reaches a milestone that only a handful of songs in history have achieved. 'Beautiful Things' has now lived on the Hot 100 for 70 weeks. It's just the tenth track in the more than half-century-long tenure of the ranking to reach that landmark figure. Boone is currently tied with 'Snooze' by SZA as the ninth-longest-running winner ever. With its seventieth frame scored, the tune breaks out of a tie with 'How Do I Live' by LeAnn Rimes and 'Save Your Tears' by The Weeknd and Ariana Grande, both of which disappeared from the tally after 69 stays. As Boone continues to up his career-best each week, the record for the longest stay on the Hot 100 is also frequently reset. 'Lose Control,' the breakout smash by Teddy Swims, debuted on the chart in 2023, and it's still present today. This time around, in its ninety-third stint on the tally, it returns to the top 10 as well, pushing from No. 11 to No. 8. It's highly likely that 'Beautiful Things' will break its tie with 'Snooze' in just a few days and earn a seventy-first turn on the Hot 100. When it does, it will tie with 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey — and from there, it could continue to climb. Also ahead of 'Beautiful Things' on the list of the longest-charting successes in Hot 100 history are all of the following tracks: 'Heat Waves' by Glass Animals (91 weeks), 'Blinding Lights' by The Weeknd (90 weeks), 'Radioactive' by Imagine Dragons (87 weeks), 'Sail' by Awolnation (79 weeks), 'Levitating' by Dua Lipa (and in some instances, DaBaby) (77 weeks), and 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz (76 weeks). How far Boone will be able to progress with his pop smash is yet to be seen, but he may soon tie, and even pass, the biggest wins from Mraz, Lipa, and DaBaby.

Spilt Milk: Australian festival locked in for 2025 following cancellation
Australia's biggest single-day touring festival Spilt Milk is officially locked in for 2025, with dates and locations revealed on Thursday. The announcement comes after the festival's social media teased an imminent return for weeks. The event will kick off in Ballarat on December 6 and then come to Perth's Claremont Showground on December 7. Canberra will see all the action on December 13 and the Gold Coast on December 14. Festivalgoers will wait with bated breath until the line-up is announced in the coming days. In the past the festival has attracted headliners such as Aussie producer and DJ Dom Dolla, Post Malone, Lorde, Flume, Khalid, FISHER, Peach PRC, Latto and Steve Lacy. The festival did not go ahead in 2024 and no reason was given for the cancellation. However, in November a spin-off event of the festival called Spilt Milk House Party entertained hundreds of music lovers at Kings Park. Troye Sivan and Glass Animals headlined while other acts like G Flip, Sycco and Artemas performed during the afternoon.
