Turns out, the festival is just as insane for artists as it is for fans.
Below, they reveal their wildest moments at Bonnaroo in their own words.
And three or four songs into their set, its raging pretty good.

Hes red, sweaty, and naked as f. And then he disappeared!
He was going insane, out of his mind on drugs.
But I texted him initially: What the f happened?
It was the only time hes ever done anything like that.
SKRILLEX
I didnt plan [the surprise sunrise set in 2014].
We were driving around on a golf cart, high on life, feeling so buzzed.
The only thing open was the Kalliope stage which is like a Burning Man art car.
Shes like, Youre Skrillex, right?
And Im like, Ill say something.
He was like, Oh yeah!
And that was the first time I DJd with [breakout EDM artist] Mija.
[But] Bonnaroo has been good to us.
I cant tell you how many bands, new or old, that you run into backstage.
Thats my favorite part.
It will never be any better than that show [at Bonnaroo].
I caught dad as he was falling and put him in a pickup truck and we wheeled him off.
I shared a joint with one of them later at a late night Robert Randalph show.
So yeah, I would say 2004 was my best year.
