Despite some gloomy weather, this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival kicked off yesterday (6/11) in Manchester, TN, showcasing artists including Passion Pit [ tickets ], Delta Spirit [ tickets ], the Zac Brown Band [ tickets ], White Rabbits [ tickets ], People Under The Stairs, Portugal. The Man [ tickets ], Murs [ tickets ] and Janelle Monae.

For the love of live music, fans even braved a late thunderstorm complete with a tornado watch. Apparently, nothing could dampen the crowd's collective spirit as the throngs navigated the slippery grounds to the various stages and tents.
