36 Iconic Images That Capture This Year's Bonnaroo in All Its Glory

A week after the greatest festival of the year, the Bonnaroo farm is back the way it was before Sam McAllister sold it to the festival in 2007. Its 530 acres unfold through big, trampled fields, dotted with the occasional mushroom fountain, loading dock and gigantic Kanye West stage-rig. You'd barely know a festival happened there.

With a full year until the next 'Roo and no line-up for the foreseeable future, it isn't worth looking ahead just yet. But to tide you over, we've gathered the 36 definitive photos and GIFs of Bonnaroo 2014.
