Here are instructions on how to watch WSMV4 live on various platforms.

In order to get those in the rougher campsites off The Farm quicker, Bonnaroo is asking those in areas that are still in good shape to consider spending the night.

Bonnaroo said they will continue operating Outeroo, including food vendors and health and safety posts.

“We 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,” Bonnaroo said. “Thank you for your patience, your positivity and your unfailing Bonnaroovian spirit.”

The festival will be issuing refunds, more details on those below:

The Tennessee Department of Transportation and the Manchester Police Department have also announced an a traffic strategy to get people out of the venue.

“We’re opening the gate at mile marker 112 to flush Bonnaroo traffic onto I-24 West, due to construction at Exit 105, traffic looking to access I-24 East will be routed to Exit 97 to make a U-turn,” TDOT said. “The I-24 West exit ramps at Exit 105, Exit 110, and Exit 111 are closed to keep festival and interstate moving safely and smoothly.”

Traffic Update for LOCAL & EVENT Traffic:

With Bonnaroo being cancelled, there have been some modifications to the normal egress traffic plans. With those modifications being made, there will be some travel lanes and interstate exits that will be closed. Some will be closed to ALL TRAFFIC. Below is a list of the modifications.

- The right lane on the interstate from the 110-115 WB will be CLOSED to allow entrance to the interstate by Event Traffic.

- Exit 112 (Interstate Gate) will be opened to allow Event Traffic to enter the interstate safely.

- Event traffic leaving the East Toll Gate will be routed to the interstate via Hwy 127 and will enter the interstate at mile marker 127.

- Traffic needing to go east bound on the interstate will exit at mile marker 97 WB and will re-enter the interstate to travel EB.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOCAL TRAFFIC:

- If you are traveling WB on Interstate 24, you will need to exit the interstate at mile markers 114 or 117.

- Exits 105, 110 & 111 west bound OFF RAMPS will be CLOSED to ALL TRAFFIC.

Town will be congested and know that all officers inside our county are working hard to make this adjustment to the festival as painless as possible. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Please drive safely.
