MANCHESTER, Tenn. – Manchester, Tenn., home to Bonnaroo, has rallied to launch The Other Fest to accommodate Bonnaroo participants already headed to town. With the blessing of Bonnaroo, The Other Fest will take place 6 p.m. – 11 p.m. CDT, Sept. 2-5. Andy Frasco and Big Something are headliners, with more than 25 other performances on three stages during the four days.
The multi-venue event takes place at Common John Brewing Company, Bites of Europe, Prater’s Bar-B-Que and more locations in Manchester, to be updated hourly.
“We know it’s an ambitious move,” said Ryan French, executive director of South Central Tennessee Tourism Association. “While we are 100% part of the ‘Roo nation, we are more than that. Manchester is a small Southern town with a big heart. Company is coming, and we want to show them a good time.”
That good time includes four days of music and festivities for $20. Tickets are VERY LIMITED; only 2,000 will be sold. Everyone is encouraged to bring a chair. Masking is encouraged indoors and free masks will be provided at the event for those interested.
