Article Contributed by Mason Jar Media | Published on Tuesday, May 15, 2012

DeLuna Fest has added 10 more acts to their September 21 – 23, 2012 lineup. The newest artist additions include Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, Bob Mould plays COPPER BLUE, Trampled by Turtles, Blackberry Smoke, OFF! and Red Kross. Also added to the lineup are late night DJ sets from Diplo, 12th Planet, Paper Diamond and AC Slater. Last month, the third annual music festival hosted on Pensacola Beach announced headliners Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters with Florence and the Machine, Band of Horses, Dwight Yoakam, Ben Folds Five, Guided By Voices, DJ Jazzy Jeff and many more. A third headliner will be announced in mid-June. For a complete listing of artists announced so far, see below.

DeLuna Fest offers a diverse mix of genres for varying musical tastes. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Cliff’s career spans nearly 50 years and his set will only enhance the tropical Gulf Coast backdrop. Fans of '90s alternative rock band Sugar are in for a treat: Bob Mould and current bandmates Jason Narducy and Jon Wurster will perform Sugar's 1992 debut Copper Blue in its entirety. And DeLuna Fest veteran Diplo returns to headline the late night DJ sets for those who want to continue the dance party.

DeLuna Fest is heralded as the ultimate end-of-summer music festival experience. With four stages, two rising directly out of the sand, DeLuna Fest is located on the water’s edge of the Gulf of Mexico. Accessible by car and boat, and located only 15 minutes from the Pensacola International Airport, DeLuna Fest is an easy-to-get to vacation destination with thousands of hotel rooms, condos and beach houses in close proximity.
