Bonnaroo Manchester, Tenn., has become the home for thousands upon thousands of hippies, classic rockers, hipsters, club kids, festival followers and just all-around music-lovers.
One weekend a year a 700-acre farmland in Manchester turns into one of the largest cities in Tennessee to host the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, a four-day summer event filled with almost 200 different acts on a yearly basis.I attended Bonnaroo for the first time last year, and to put it bluntly: It's life changing.
Now it's my second time around, but this time, it's the 10th anniversary of Bonnaroo and general-admission tickets are already sold out. Bonnaroo is infamous for surprises, and since it will be celebrating its anniversary, anything goes. Oh, and this time, I'm taking a whole new look at the festival.This year, I will attend Bonnaroo -- which begins Thursday as press, representing both OnwardState.com as well as its partnered site, StateCollege.
I've met countless people around campus and at parties who recognize the infinity circles tattooed on my right bicep, automatically exclaiming; "You went to Bonnaroo, Students at Penn State are no strangers to the music festival, but for many, it's only a familiarity, not an experience. Attendees of Bonnaroo are everywhere; you just have to find them. After hearing a detailed account of their memories, you'll have your ticket ordered for next year before you go to bed that night.
