The 2015 Bonnaroo Music Festival was held June 11–14, 2015 in Manchester, Tennessee. This marked the 14th time the festival has been held since its inception in 2002.
In mid-December 2014, Bonnaroo announced there would be clues hinting at which artists would be on the lineup for 2015. They posted "The 12 Days of RooClues" on their official Instagram and Snapchat. A segment on RooRadio later revealed that the answers to these clues were Glass Animals, Sturgill Simpson, Dopapod, Houndmouth, Bleachers, Moon Taxi, Trampled By Turtles, Flume, The War on Drugs, Tears For Fears, Belle and Sebastian, and Robert Plant.
In mid-January 2015, the Bonnaroo lineup was officially announced by a process in which fans called a hotline (1-844-ROO-2015) to learn the name of one artist on the official lineup and subsequently shared it on social media using the hashtag "#Bonnaroo". The hotline was only open for a few hours on the date of the lineup announcement. Bonnaroo released an official lineup announcement video when all the artists had been shared by the fans on social media.
