Bonnaroo Beacon On Site Newspaper and Relix Magazine

Our friends at Relix Magazine and Jambands.com will once again be at Bonnaroo this year. We’re glad they’ll be joining us in Manchester, and we’re psyched to be working together on the Bonnaroo Beacon, the official daily newspaper of the festival. Make sure to pick up your copy each day (available at the Relix booth in Centeroo as well as at several points around the festival grounds), as it will feature schedules, reviews, special features and updates from around the festival.

The Clean Vibes' Trading Post

Win a Free Ride for 2 to Bonnaroo 2013!

Clean Vibes is a company formed and dedicated to the responsible waste and recycling management of outdoor festivals and events. Clean Vibes has been a part of all of the previous Bonnaroo festivals, handling the trash and recycling management for each event. Over the past nine years, Clean Vibes has diverted over 2 million pounds of recyclable and compostable material produced at the festival from the landfill.

This year welcomes back the Clean Vibes’ Trading Post. An adaptation of the annual recycling raffle, the Trading Post will accept cans and bottles that can be redeemed for immediate rewards. The cans and bottles become a currency of sort, and the more recycling you collect, the more valuable items you can “purchase.” Bring your cans and bottles to any of the Campground Pods or to the Trading Post in Planet Roo, and “cash them in.”

Depending on the number of cans and bottles you turn in, you will receive a certain number of point vouchers. Bring your vouchers to the Clean Vibes’ Trading Post in Planet Roo and trade them in for your choice of a variety of green gifts – from earth friendly health and beauty products and organic clothing to autographed band merchandise and food vendor vouchers.  Cash them in for small stuff or keep collecting points throughout the weekend to “purchase” something big! The person who trades in the most recycling throughout the weekend will receive 2 tickets to next year’s event!

Bonnaroo Pod Ambassadors

PODs are “community centers” strategically placed throughout our 600+ acre campground.

From concert and activity schedule info to vehicle issues, lost friends, or medical assistance, POD Ambassadors and medical/safety staff are there in your campground community to lend a helping hand.

PODs are staffed 24/7 with security, medical, and information personnel.

The function of our PODs is for Bonnaroo patrons to have instant access to all festival personnel as needed.

POD Volunteer Ambassadors positively and pro-actively communicate information about all Bonnaroo events and activities and assist guests in every area of festival as needed.

POD Community Centers offer campground water stations, recycling, and composting collection containers, while integrating ongoing art projects by Bonnaroo visual artists.

POD Volunteer Ambassadors must be able to work (3) 6 hour shifts anytime during the PODs open hours and will be onsite the Tuesday prior to the festival through the Monday following the festival.

POD Volunteer Ambassadors must camp in their assigned POD, not in the general volunteer campground.

POD Volunteer Ambassadors are required to attend an orientation session held on Wednesday June 6th.

Leadership abilities and excellent character / fortitude required. Flexible scheduling a must!

Please note couples and friends traveling together and assigned to PODS as Volunteers  Ambassadors: We will always make our best efforts to keep people together and or on similar work schedules, but this is not a guarantee.

Volunteering in our POD Ambassador program is one of the first volunteer areas filled. The Bonnaroo “POD Community Experience” folks living on the ground at a high standard of shared community living is a great place to begin your Bonnaroo Festival.

Bonnaroo Post Office

If you want to buy something from one of the many vendors on site but are unsure how to get it home, this is the stop for you. The Post Office, located in Planet Roo will have boxes and envelopes, packing materials and stamps as well as special Bonnaroo postcards and the official Bonnaroo Postmark!
