The 2021 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, originally scheduled for Labor Day weekend in September, was ultimately canceled due to severe weather concerns stemming from the remnants of Hurricane Ida. The organizers cited heavy rain and the potential for unsafe conditions on the festival grounds as the primary reasons for their difficult decision, disappointing fans and artists alike who had been eagerly anticipating the event's return after a hiatus in 2020. While the festival was initially postponed from its usual June date, the weather ultimately proved to be an insurmountable challenge.
