Bonnaroo 2026 to Stream Live on Disney+ and Hulu This Weekend
The 2026 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, running June 11–14 in Manchester, Tennessee, will be livestreamed on both Hulu and Disney+. This marks the first year the festival is available globally via Disney+, having previously been U.S.-only on Hulu. The expansion gives international audiences access to headlining sets from Skrillex, The Strokes, Rüfüs Du Sol, and Noah Kahan.
Bonnaroo 2026 kicks off Thursday, June 11, with live coverage beginning at 7 p.m. CST and continuing through Sunday, June 14. Headliners include Skrillex, The Strokes, Rüfüs Du Sol, and Noah Kahan, with a wide supporting lineup featuring Turnstile, Vince Staples, Four Tet, Blood Orange, Clipse, Modest Mouse, Alabama Shakes, Japanese Breakfast, and Kesha, among others. The festival streams across two channels, with sets scheduled across all four days on both Hulu and Disney+. Notably, not all performances will be streamed: Pitchfork reports that 'Weird Al' Yankovic's Saturday night Roovue set and the Kesha-led Superjâm Esoteríca: The Alchemy of Pop will not be included in the livestream, though Kesha's solo Sunday set is confirmed. Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits are also set to receive the same Disney+/Hulu streaming treatment later this year. The global Disney+ availability represents a significant expansion of the festivals' reach beyond the U.S. audience.
What's missing
Neither source clarifies whether a subscription to Disney+ or Hulu is required to access the livestream or if any portion will be freely available, nor do they specify which international regions will have access via Disney+.
How coverage differed
Both Variety and Pitchfork covered the story in a straightforward, informational manner with no meaningful framing differences, though Pitchfork noted two notable livestream omissions — 'Weird Al' Yankovic's set and the Kesha-led Superjâm — that Variety did not mention.

America at 250: Conservative Voices Debate the State of Higher Education and Shared Culture
Two opinion pieces published ahead of America's 250th anniversary argue that foundational American ideals are under threat — one focusing on the ideological drift of universities away from merit and civic education, the other on the erosion of a common national culture that once bridged class divides. Both pieces are written from a conservative perspective and appear in right-leaning outlets. The arguments reflect a broader debate about what American institutions should preserve or restore as the nation marks a major milestone.
