Rick Farman, co-founder of Superfly Entertainment who started Bonnaroo, wont be part of the Festival after 2019.  Back in 2015 Live Nation purchased a controlling interest in the festival and kept Farman on until this year.  Now it plans to purchase the rest of the festival from the remaining minority owners.  Going forward the festival will be produced by AC Entertainment and C3 Presents, which of course Live Nation owns.

Beginning today, June 14, 2019, Phish is launching their own station on SiriusXM called Phish Radio on Channel 29.  The first broadcast is their live performance from Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.  Page McConnell had this to say:

“My bandmates and I are thrilled to have a home at SiriusXM where Phish fans can hear music from over three decades of us making music together.  We’re excited to make Phish Radio an extension of who we are as a band and a welcome home for fans old and new.”
