In addition to rock and roll, Bonnaroo has jazz, contemporary, electronic, hip-hop and more all for the enjoyment of the thousands of fans who camp and attend each year. Within the festival is the Bonnaroo entertainment village, with a beer festival, cinema, theater productions, music technology seminar, a full arcade and of course, miles of food and drink. Did we mention the entertainment village is an additional 100-acres of fun?
