Lamar is continuing his extensive tour behind Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers into 2023, adding Bonnaroo to a schedule that includes Primavera Sound and Osheaga. Foo Fighters, who also announced a Boston Calling headline show this morning, will soon return to the stage for their first headline shows since the death last March of drummer Taylor Hawkins. The band said in a statement last month that Hawkins will “be there in spirit with all of us every night.”

Last year marked Bonnaroo’s first festival since the pandemic, with headliners J. Cole, Tool, and Stevie Nicks. The 2020 edition was canceled due to the pandemic. When Bonnaroo organizers pushed the following year’s planned festival back to September 2021, a number of artists withdrew from the event over safety concerns. It was eventually canceled for unrelated issues, one of which was flooding from Hurricane Ida.
