How Remi Wolf’s Bonnaroo Superjam Was Saved After the Festival’s Cancellation

When the rain began to fall on the farm in Manchester, Tenn., the future of the 2025 Bonnaroo festival seemed uncertain. Ultimately, on June 13, the decision was made to cancel the remainder of the festival due to projected adverse weather conditions. This heartbreaking turn of events affected everyone involved, from the producers to the eager fans and the artists set to perform.

Among the artists affected was Remi Wolf, who had been gearing up for a special performance at Bonnaroo’s renowned Superjam. Titled “Remi Wolf’s Insanely Fire 1970s Pool Party Superjam,” the lineup included talented artists such as Hayley Williams and Mt. Joy. Determined to make the show happen despite the festival cancellation, Wolf’s team sprang into action.

Josh Mulder, Wolf’s agent and the director of A&R at TBA, worked tirelessly to secure an alternate venue for the concert. After numerous phone calls, Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl was chosen as the new location where Wolf, Williams, and other guests delivered a memorable performance for the disappointed fans. The setlist included hits like Chaka Khan’s “Sweet Thing,” Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” and Hall and Oates’ “Rich Girl.”

In a candid interview, Mulder recounted the challenges faced in transitioning from Bonnaroo to Brooklyn Bowl. Reflecting on the moment the festival was called off, Mulder shared the team’s immediate commitment to salvaging the Superjam. Despite the chaos and uncertainty, the collective effort was focused on delivering a memorable show for both the artists and the fans.

The decision to relocate to Brooklyn Bowl was a strategic one, with Mulder and the team exploring various options before settling on the ideal venue. The show’s ticketing was designed to be affordable for fans, selling out quickly and attracting a crowd eager to experience the essence of Bonnaroo in a new setting. Special guests like Hayley Williams and Mt. Joy graced the stage, joined by additional acts such as Grouplove and Medium Build.

The event at Brooklyn Bowl was a triumph, with Mulder highlighting the emotional high of seeing Hayley Williams and Remi Wolf share the stage. Post-show celebrations involved shared hugs and drinks, with the team basking in the success of delivering an unforgettable experience for all attendees.

Despite the challenges faced, the resilience and determination of Wolf, Mulder, and their team ensured that the spirit of Bonnaroo lived on, creating a night to remember for all who were part of the impromptu event at Brooklyn Bowl.
