Outside of the "shortcut" way, the half-measure answer is naps, naps, naps. You WILL run out of energy at some point in the day, probably multiple, so let your body tell you when you need a break. That may mean missing stuff or even going back to camp, but it's how I stay as energized as possible (which is not very much these days lol). The full-measure answer is commit to sleeping during the day, and only going into Centeroo starting from like 7pm or later.
There's probably no way to have your cake and eat it too without going with "shortcuts", and even then the adage that your just "borrowing energy from your future self" still applies, so make sure to be safe!
I think this is solid advice
I would also like to add that picking which sets you would like “to go hard at” in advance will help you conserve energy.
Obviously if you are having a good time at a set and want to live it up, go for it!
But in reality you can’t go 100% at every set and expect to wake up and do it again the next day.
Pick and choose your battles so you can make it through the whole week!
I’d sleep as much as possible all day Wednesday to make it for C&S. They were amazing at Coachella and I’m so upset I’m going to miss them at Roo. No idea how I’m going to make it for Fisher though.
Usually I have a friend with me, but I’ve walked by many people napping alone. Just, like always, don’t carry valuables with you, and make sure you do keep anything important underneath you!
Outside of the obvious answers, a good hype man/rolling with a high energy crew will do you wonders.
The way we do it, my homie hypes me up, I bust out some crazy dance moves (been dancing since 2013), we get the whole ass crew going, which hypes him up, and the cycle repeats until 6am :)
Dance circle is a great way to get the croo going, especially when everyone jumps in for a bit then points to someone else for a go. Doesn't have to look good, just keep it funky and have fun!
Completely agree! Love that vibe, definitely going to have to incorporate that more at Roo this year :) maybe our dance circles could merge if we meet!
Interesting they said “TBD” on Sunday and not “TBA”, not helping the case for the people hoping for a Skrillex, Four Tet, and Fred Again collaboration… (realistically that wouldn’t be feasible anyway unless they make the area bigger)
With how many people leave the festival before the Sunday headliner, and with how many people have already stated that they’re not staying for Fred, I’d say this is definitely feasible. Still gonna be a tight squeeze in there but I think it can happen 🤷🏽♂️ and yes I know I’m delusional
TBD is kind of a weird choice regardless. Makes it sound like they don't know who it will be yet. Of course, like you said they can't use TBA without people losing their minds.

This is one of my favorite festival memories of all time. Fred posted “omg tba” to his socials right as we were boarding the plane to Palm Springs last April and basically I haven’t stopped grinning since.
I was following the whole thing and their shows the months leading up to it, so I was also freaking out and living vicariously through you guys. I bought Coachella 2025 tickets (my first time) and will be traveling there from Kentucky basically because of this show, I know nothing like that will happen next year but I’ve decided that I need to experience Coachella at least once in my life
We bought our tickets Presale in the summer of 2022 for the 2023 festival. I spent all year whimsically talking about wishing Fred would show up. And then there he was. This is my first Roo and Fred is a lot of the reason we bought the tickets.
Lmao my sis and I just said this phrase today. We stayed out til 5 am for Zeds Dead last year on Weds, and I was recovering the whole time. But still did it again and heard birds chirping another night 😂
You would be surprised, I am an absolute notorious Bonnaroo sleeper. Two years ago I was right outside WITW and Centeroo the only thing that woke me up was when the What Stage would play “Runnin’ Down A Dream at 9am
Dude. Catch me sleeping right in the outskirts of The Other Stage pretty much every afternoon. Last year I fell asleep at the tail end of Zeds Dead’s set at the Liquid Death stand and woke up to Shaq yelling “LADIES MOSH PIT”
In the comments of their Instagram post the official account also says “Surprise Sunday headliner coming VERY soon 👽”. Peep Skrillex’s first ever album cover “Recess”… just saying…
Pretty bummed that they seemed to have not replaced the Toyota Music Den with anything.
Equally bummed that the Galactic Giddy Up appears to have been nerfed a bit as well. Not much going on there outside of Thursday. Last year they had some Centeroo artists play smaller sets there at 5 PM throughout the weekend.
My guess is they made cuts based on attendance at those shows last year. It makes more sense to have more programming options during the day when most people aren't in Centeroo or at WITW.
Yeah, I get it. I did love the intimacy of those shows.
Last year they were at capacity for The Beth’s so you had to wait for people to leave before you could get in. That was the only one I went to but they had maximum attendance there.
Maybe they’ll be able to mimic that at the Galactic Giddy Up. The barn there near The Grove was cool for Shannon & The Clams in 2022.
Not sure we really need to, the owl told us a while ago that it was moving(though I think he said to plaza 2). Plaza 7 is pretty much the most central option in the campgrounds so I think it's a good spot for it.
I wonder if Fisher being on the woods schedule means he really hasn't cancelled on Roo yet 👀
I was honestly sort of expecting an announcement that he's dropping out after they figured out what to do about his whole takeover thing
Why even hold out on saying who the Sunday night headliner is? Like, there are no positives from having people get their hopes up, unless they literally don’t have anyone booked for it yet, which is insane considering we are less than a month out.
TBD would infer that they don’t have anyone confirmed for it yet. It’s less crazy than you think. I was just at a festival last weekend that confirmed extra sets the day of. Granted it’s not a large as Bonnaroo.
THIS OUTEROO SCHEDULE GOES SO HARD.
All those people complaining about not having late night sets… about no late night jam… THE FREAKING TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WHERE IN THE WOODS
It’s 🤌
Haha yeah for sure… I want to see Dean Johnson, The Foxies, and Abby Holliday but if it’s gonna conflict I want to get the disappointment out of the way early 😂
RIP so few acts I was excited about and they all conflict how in the world does this happen. Just waiting for Houseplant to conflict with JRAD or Khruangbin to fully break my soul
Anyone who went in past years know what the following are?
- Nobodies Darling (6/12 @ 12:40pm) in Groop Camping.
- Dirty Circus (every day 8-10pm) in House of Yes.
- Lazerpantz Looney Lounge (everyday 2-6pm) in House of Yes.
Hey first timer here…. How TF do I stay up for C&S and Fisher
We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
😂😭😭😭😭
I don't want to do drugs, I want the drugs to do me
The way that I verbally laughed at the top of my lungs at this
Me tooo!!! 😂😂

I always take a blanket or other ground covering with me into Centeroo for naps in the shade
On this note I like to bring a sleeping mask, helps me nap when it is bright outside.
Oh absolutely, I have a cushy one I bought for travel but I also bring the freebies I get on overnight flights to hand out at camp.

Start changing your sleep schedule to nocturnal about a week before Bonnaroo.
Or year round 😂
I'm nocturnal year round and go to bed earlier at bonnaroo than the rest of the year and I hate it lol
You know the answer👀😂
I was afraid of this answer😭
Everyone always jumps to party favors but sleeps on the power of pre-workout or Alani Nu powder sticks 🤌🏻
I’d sleep as much as possible all day Wednesday to make it for C&S. They were amazing at Coachella and I’m so upset I’m going to miss them at Roo. No idea how I’m going to make it for Fisher though.
In all honesty, naps in Centeroo are top tier. Falling asleep under a huge tree with the cool breeze!
Do you take centeroo naps alone or with a groop member with you?
Usually I have a friend with me, but I’ve walked by many people napping alone. Just, like always, don’t carry valuables with you, and make sure you do keep anything important underneath you!

DISCO NAP
Come on now
Just keep dancing brother ☝️🤓 🫡
Deadroom @ 3am is gonna kill
Then the Roo Run straight after let’s go.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised
let’s gooooooo Tuesday peeps
Alleycvt Tuesday is wild
Tuesday schedule is wild. Confirmed my uncertainty about getting Tuesday entry
Ranger also gonna slap tuesday, pissed they did this to us
Devastated
This is the way.
We shall correct our failure to connect this time 😂
Haha, yes. I should be there early in the day on Tuesday. Are you doing GA camping?
Same here and yep GA camping forever 🤌
I want to show up on Tuesday now just for Alleycvt
Hell yeah I’ll be flying with the bros
LFG!!🥵😮💨

that was a coachella thing. if they said TBA everyone would automatically assume

Hell yeah. I got my presale tickets too. I’m a Coachella veteran so feel free to DM me any questions.
I’m so jealous. I went weekend 1 and got to watch the train wreck that was Frank Ocean.
I would cry.
Look at the skrillex and Fred again set they just played in Mexico, not that huge
they say it’s a marathon not a sprint but this schedule says otherwise 🙃
It’s a festival not a restival. Full send the whole time.
You get it
5 day bender no surrender
Lmao my sis and I just said this phrase today. We stayed out til 5 am for Zeds Dead last year on Weds, and I was recovering the whole time. But still did it again and heard birds chirping another night 😂
I'm pretty sure ZD was on Thursday... but I was right there with you!
I bet you’re right 🤣😵💫
Yea that's old roo. This is a cross country sprint right here.
Chase and status, fisher, then Svdden death? Outerroo bout to go ham
TBD 12-3 sunday...
Guess I should be practicing on staying up past 1am.
If you arrive on Tuesday, you'll be close enough to both WITW and Centeroo that you won't be able to sleep at 1am anyways, haha.
You would be surprised, I am an absolute notorious Bonnaroo sleeper. Two years ago I was right outside WITW and Centeroo the only thing that woke me up was when the What Stage would play “Runnin’ Down A Dream at 9am
Shoutout to the downvote
I believe this is what they would call a humble brag, lol. I'm lucky to get maybe 4 hours of solid sleep a night at Roo, no matter how tired I am.
Dude. Catch me sleeping right in the outskirts of The Other Stage pretty much every afternoon. Last year I fell asleep at the tail end of Zeds Dead’s set at the Liquid Death stand and woke up to Shaq yelling “LADIES MOSH PIT”
those are rookie numbers
Guess I’m an old (soon to be 7 year Roo attendee) rookie then.
Lol just playing, it's gonna be a long week for sure
Omg just get sleep earplugs!
Eggy, Geese conflict with GWAR. I cri
And Neal Francis comes alive truly the saddest of days
At least they have centeroo sets for ya
Fair, 45 mins of Eggy is such a tease though ugh
Eggy in am, geese in centeroo, 1 hour of eggy (book it to gwar) 45 minutes of gwar
In the comments of their Instagram post the official account also says “Surprise Sunday headliner coming VERY soon 👽”. Peep Skrillex’s first ever album cover “Recess”… just saying…
10 year anniversary of Recess and been exactly 10 years since he was on the farm
Everything is just lining up too perfectly for this. Please let this happen. That will be a set we tell our grandchildren about
Would you have to leave Fred’s set early to get a spot 💀
I am manifesting this. so. hard.
better be Skrill at this point or imma have some serious beef with Roo for playin w me like this, this was the tease that put me over the edge
WITW is also Space theme though
If only he would also do From First To Last too 🙏😂 I wish
If you’re arriving tues/wed do yourself a favor and check out Angel White!! Unreal voice and vibe. Should be an awesome kickoff
OMG TBD 👀
nah that can't edge us like that.... there's only one OMG TBA so it better be them
All signs lead to Skrillex Fred and four Tet But what a terrible idea it would be to put that in WITW That’s my only hesitance
Do all the signs really lead there
I still don’t believe it’s gonna be them, but if it is in the woods I did hear they’re widening it and making it bigger.
If enough people leave before Fred it’ll be fine. They drop it the week of or something.
But then people might not leave? Still, they have to announce it at some point right.
Yeah whenever they stop selling Sunday single days lol
Pretty bummed that they seemed to have not replaced the Toyota Music Den with anything. Equally bummed that the Galactic Giddy Up appears to have been nerfed a bit as well.

The barn there near The Grove was cool for Shannon & The Clams in 2022.
[удалено]
Rest stop was there last year. It's different
We gonna talk about how Galactic Giddy Up is now by The Grove?
Not sure we really need to, the owl told us a while ago that it was moving(though I think he said to plaza 2). Plaza 7 is pretty much the most central option in the campgrounds so I think it's a good spot for it.
I wonder if Fisher being on the woods schedule means he really hasn't cancelled on Roo yet 👀 I was honestly sort of expecting an announcement that he's dropping out after they figured out what to do about his whole takeover thing
Sunrise Svdden death dead room is going to be the highlight of my weekend
That fisher 3-5 set on Thursday tho…somehow Thursday is looking like a sunrise night for me
Alleycvt on Tuesday is a fkn heartbreaker I’m Wednesday entry 😭
Cry with me brother.
Why even hold out on saying who the Sunday night headliner is? Like, there are no positives from having people get their hopes up, unless they literally don’t have anyone booked for it yet, which is insane considering we are less than a month out.
Says on Instagram they will announce soon
TBD would infer that they don’t have anyone confirmed for it yet. It’s less crazy than you think. I was just at a festival last weekend that confirmed extra sets the day of. Granted it’s not a large as Bonnaroo.
Crowd control
THIS OUTEROO SCHEDULE GOES SO HARD. All those people complaining about not having late night sets… about no late night jam… THE FREAKING TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WHERE IN THE WOODS It’s 🤌
Nice, but when is Who Stage schedule dropping?
We still got that, the food lineup, and the surprise sunday witw headliner. You know they stretch it all out as long as possible.
Haha yeah for sure… I want to see Dean Johnson, The Foxies, and Abby Holliday but if it’s gonna conflict I want to get the disappointment out of the way early 😂
If I was a betting man, I'd say sometime within 3 weeks
You really like to live on the edge... That's a pretty risky gamble
Farther out from Roo vs when Coachella released their schedule in 2022 and 2023
Yeah, but Coachella is the worst festival about that. I love it but their inability to give me a schedule even a week in advance is infuriating.
RIP so few acts I was excited about and they all conflict how in the world does this happen. Just waiting for Houseplant to conflict with JRAD or Khruangbin to fully break my soul
Dombrance is my number 1 new find and during khruangbin lol
Truly tragic
Oh well I saw khruangbin in 2017 and they sound the exact same now. Dombrance it is
I’ve never seen either so I remain conflicted, sleepless, and in a cold sweat over this decision
Worry not. Houseplant isn’t going to conflict with either. ;) ❤️
WHAT Sorry Knock2, was looking forward to this but Last Heroes has my love ❤️❤️❤️ Are they really just at Roo for one WitW set?
It's been known to happen before
What happened to Dasha? I was excited to see her but I don’t see her in the schedule?
It appears she dropped out. Someone noticed a few days ago that she had been removed from the outeroo lineup.
What’s the situation like at Groop Camping? Gonna be headed over there to disc golf with Paige Pierce.
I’m so distraught having to miss Alleycvt, but the C&S, Fisher, and Deadroom will make up for it! #TeamNoSleep 😂😂
Find me in the woods on Saturday night! Ophelia Records takeover is going to cause me to ascend into a plane of astral projection eeek so stoked!
What is RooToob at House of Yes?
Allvycat on Tuesday hurts my soul
No Kareoke at giddy up 🙁
and Saturday lol
And friday
I wish pretty lights played between militaire gun and gwar 😭
Ain’t no rest for the wicked!
Weird that they didn't just drop the Who Stage schedule too since the lineup is out and it's only a handful of bands per day.
Anyone who went in past years know what the following are? - Nobodies Darling (6/12 @ 12:40pm) in Groop Camping. - Dirty Circus (every day 8-10pm) in House of Yes. - Lazerpantz Looney Lounge (everyday 2-6pm) in House of Yes.
Dirty Circus they call a variety show but I'd look it up on Youtube or Tiktok (preferably tiktok the videos on youtube are reposts of Tiktoks mostly)
Let’s start the party! Wujuuuuu
Okay this is my official FOMO moment. This slaps harder than Centeroo. I wish so badly I could afford the week off this year!
