2007 Bonnaroo Music Festival
Encyclopedia
The 2007 Bonnaroo Music and Arts festival was held on June 14-17. All 80,000 tickets were sold out.
On January 10, 2007, Bonnaroo organizers Superfly Productions and AC Entertainment purchased 530 acres (2.1 km²) of the farm where the annual music festival is held, encompassing the performance areas and much of the camping and parking areas. The festival will continue to lease another 250 acres (1 km²) that currently serve as additional parking and camping.
The 2007 festival was notable for the extremely dusty conditions that prevailed on the later days of the event. The area had been under drought conditions for sometime, this fact combined with the heavy, repeated foot traffic over the dry ground led to a permeating dust cloud that covered the ground and continued up into the air as high as 30 ft (9.1 m). Many people were seen wearing bandannas as facemasks on Sunday of the festival, and the dust-covered cars served well as places to write various messages.
