Missing Bonnaroo shouldn’t mean missing the music that matters. While TikTok clips flood your timeline with 15-second festival highlights, Hulu’s exclusive livestream lets you experience the full festival from home.
This year’s lineup reads like someone finally understood what fans actually want. Megadeth brings legitimate metal credibility to The Farm for the first time, while Queens of the Stone Age headline Sunday with their signature desert rock that’s built for festival crowds. Between them, you’ll find Olivia Rodrigo’s pop-rock anthems and Tyler, the Creator’s genre-defying artistry.
The streaming setup eliminates the usual festival FOMO. Two dedicated Hulu channels run simultaneously from 7 PM CT each day, ensuring you catch overlapping sets without choosing sides.
Hulu + Live TV offers a three-day free trial that covers Thursday through Saturday—the entire festival for free if you time it right. Standard Hulu provides a 30-day trial, though you’ll miss some live TV features. Either option beats the $219-$480 general admission ticket range plus travel expenses.
The schedule rewards night owls and perfectly mirrors how Gen Z consumes music—chaotic, genre-fluid, and completely divorced from traditional programming logic. Megadeth’s 12:45 AM Saturday slot might seem brutal, but it’s perfect for their crushing live energy. Friday’s John Summit at 9:45 PM flows into Tyler, the Creator at 12:10 AM—a progression that makes sense if you understand electronic music’s natural transition into hip-hop experimentation.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s Roo Residency deserves attention from anyone who appreciates musical versatility. Three unique sets across the weekend showcase why they’ve become Australia’s most inventive export since AC/DC discovered power chords.
The new Infinity Stage promises 360-degree sound that holds up even through headphones. This immersive venue shows how concert staging innovation continues to redefine what “biggest” can mean in live music.
Festival livestreams used to feel like consolation prizes. Hulu’s coverage proves streaming can capture the energy that makes Bonnaroo special, when done by people who understand music matters more than marketing spectacle.
