Bonnaroo Squarch Has Attendees Asking What’s Going On
Exactly three weeks ago, Bonnaroo burned its iconic arch to the ground. Bonnaroo issued a statement, “This incarnation of the Bonnaroo Arch had significant structural issues and needed to be removed. The Arch has changed throughout the years, and we’re exited for its newest incarnation.”
“Its newest incarnation” as Bonnaroo put it is what attendees are now referring to as the Bonnaroo squarch – a portmanteau for square and arch. See below.
Happy 18th Birthday, @Bonnaroo?

The blocky, unsightly entrance to the festival is affixed with LED panels on the front that will have it changing design throughout the festival. See some of the initial fan reactions below
Can’t wait to high 5 people waiting in the line…to walk under the…a….wall?

This has got to be a temporary arch for this year only right? That thing is a joke.

@bonnaroonews provides some reference for what the squarch looks like at night, seen attempting to emulate the iconic arch known to fans for years. But then… why not just build an LED arch?

Squarch Gossip:
Some people within @AC_Ent are not happy with it either, it was a solution that @LiveNation pushed. It may be a one and done thing this year.
