Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
I live like 60 miles away from this. I'd rather have a condo in Chernobyl.
Bonnaroo Wants to Buy Tenn. Farm Site
MANCHESTER, Tenn. — The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is negotiating to buy the 500-acre farm where the first five festivals were held to be the event's permanent home, the landowner has said.
Bonnaroo officials declined to comment, but farm owner Sam McAllister said the sale could be concluded next week.
"Well, there's a few little things that have got to take place before it happens," McAllister said Wednesday.
Coffee County zoning administrator Ronnie Branch said Bonnaroo official Ashley Capps told the Board of Zoning Appeals last month that a land purchase was imminent.
Capps asked the board for a type of zoning permit that would streamline the festival's planning process. The permit was approved contingent on the sale of the land, Branch said. The deal appears to be on track to be closed in the middle of this month, he said.
Capps told the board Bonnaroo wants to improve water lines and roads at the site and said the festival might want to stage smaller musical events at the farm.
"Well, they can use it when they want to use it, but they can only get so many mass-gathering permits in a year, so I'd say they'd be limited to three or four events" besides Bonnaroo, Branch said.
Don't say you weren't warned, people. We all saw this day coming.
