The video platform has partnered with the music festival as part of the YouTube Presents series, which brings exclusive and original content to the platform.
This year's Bonnaroo headliners include Radiohead (Friday), Red Hot Chili Peppers (Saturday), and Phish (Sunday). Webcasts from he massive festival will begin streaming Friday, June 8 at 1:30 P.M. EDT and will run through Sunday's final performance, by Kurt Vile & the Violators.

In all, 45 artists will participate in the webcast, with a wide range of performances including hip hop (Santigold, Kendrick Lamar), soul (Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Alabama Shakes), and pop (Foster the People, fun.). The full schedule of performances is available on the festival's YouTube channel.
The channel organizers have been priming it with content including a shout out from Ben Folds, whose reunited band Ben Folds Five will perform at the festival, and a video of artists who played Bonnaroo in 2011 talking about their experience.
Earlier this year, the festival launched a YouTube channel, Bonnaroo365, which aims to be a year-round look at Bonnaroo. This focuses primarily on past festival content.
This isn't the first time Bonnaroo has experimented with streaming. Just last year, the festival partnered with Vevo for streaming content. But YouTube's increased focus on channels makes it a logical fit for the festival.
