The Poster

One Hundred Bands, One Poster

Circle Jerks play hardcore. Monolord play doom. Mac Sabbath play fast food metal. Frankie and the Witch Fingers play psych. The Tillers play folk. We do not stick to one kind of music. We just book bands that mean it.

We add each band to the poster by hand and post it online, one at a time. Watch the wall fill up.

No genre. No filler. Just roots.

Camping & Grounds

Three Days. 127 Acres. Come As You Are.

Two stages play from sundown to sunup. Your weekend pass comes with free camping and free hot showers. Roll in Friday, set up camp anywhere on the ranch, and stay through Monday.

Bring an RV, a tent, a school bus, or a beat-up old tour bus. We do not care what you sleep in. Just be good to your neighbors and the land.

D.I.Y. til we die.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked

Weekend passes are $200 and your best bet. They include free camping and free hot showers. Arrive Friday and leave Monday, and you can come and go all weekend. One pass gets you every band, except one private set just for paying Patreon members, called the "Keys To The Kingdom." Do not need a full weekend? Show up at the gate on the day you can and single day tickets will be available for the rest of the show. Kid tickets are discounted and only sold at the gate.

Get Tickets

We have 127 acres for you to spread out on. Park and camp just about anywhere you like, except on vendor row, at no extra charge. Bring an RV, camper, tent, U-Haul, hotrod, school bus, or a vintage 1956 country star touring bus. We do not care. But there are no hookups, and do not bring a loud generator. Be mindful of your neighbors or you may be asked to leave with no refund. There are several hotels in Cookeville and the surrounding towns.

There are many food and drink vendors onsite, including two bars. BYOB is fine, and so is cooking and grilling out at your campsite. Pick up your mess and be safe with fire. It is all at your own risk.

115 Waterloo Rd, Cookeville, TN 38506 is the address, but sometimes that sends you to a house across the road. Look for the Junebug Boogie Ranch. We are about 15 miles north of I-40 in Cookeville. BNA airport is about 90 miles away and Knoxville airport is about 115 miles. Greyhound goes to Cookeville. From there you may need a carpool, Uber, Lyft, or taxi.

No dogs, guns, knives, or bad attitudes. For clarity, you may cook with knives, but leave your Crocodile Dundee hip knife at camp. Real service dogs are welcome. This is private property. The law does not count emotional support animals as service dogs, so please leave them home. Do not push your luck, or you will get sent packing.

There are actually two of them, one small and one large, both at Waterloo Falls and Events. You may walk there from the fest grounds or take the shuttle provided each day for $5 round trip. Do not park alongside the road or on the waterfall lot. The shuttle stop is near the ticket booth at the Junebug Ranch. The falls are on private property and not open to the public during the festival, just for us. Bring water shoes, the river rock can be slippery. Be careful and look out for each other.

We would love to have you. Reach out to milt@muddyroots.com and the crew will get you set up with sponsorship, advertising, or a vendor booth.
