Article Contributed by dkcnews.com | Published on Tuesday, September 20, 2022

Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival (OMF) is back and bigger than ever with its official 2023 lineup. Odesza returns to OMF for their first time since the festival's inaugural 2016 show with their new album "The Last Goodbye.” Grammy award winning young rapper, Baby Keem, will make his first headline festival appearance after completing a successful world tour with his cousin, Kendrick Lamar. Making his fourth OMF appearance, GRiZ, returns to the stage at Sunshine Grove. Bass music king, Excision, will make his first OMF performance. Rock & roll hall of famers, Earth, Wind & Fire will be bringing legendary soul, funk, R&B and a disco performance to OMF. One of the hottest jam bands today, Goose, will make their OMF debut and Turnstile will be representing hardcore punk’s biggest band. OMF’s 120+ artist lineup spans across an array of genres ranging from electronic, hip-hop, rap, R&B, dance, rock, dubstep, disco, funk, indie, house, and techno, amongst others, and also features powerhouse artists such as Big Boi, Channel Tres, Free Nationals, Dirty Heads, Local Natives, Hippo Campus, Princess Nokia and more.

This sixth OMF will bring together tens of thousands of music, art and camping fans to the iconic 800-acre nature paradise venue, Sunshine Grove. From Thursday, March 2nd through Sunday, March 5th, OMF attendees can expect to Enter the Portal into a world of expansive music programming, explore the festival’s large-scale art installations and immersive art experiences, enjoy workshops, talks and varied wellness programming,  savor a variety of food and drink options, interact up close & personal with some of their favorite artists with expanded programming of the Experience PoWoW!, listen to never-played and never-to-be played again music at the Saturday night PoWoW! featuring eclectic musical artists, and camp under the country starscape in Okeechobee, Florida. OMF, the only 24/7 festival in Florida, boasts expansive programming and entertainment that encourages its attendees to choose their own journey and can almost guarantee that no two peoples journeys will be the same.

OMF’s Co-Founder, Rechulski, expressed his excitement going into year six: “Hosting OMF at Sunshine Grove is always an exciting experience. There will be new and engaging art on display across the venue, and a great selection of up and coming national and international breakthrough artists, as well as many familiar sounds that we love so much. Can’t wait to see y’all in Florida next March.”

The festival’s main stages Be, Here, Now, Aquachobee, Jungle 51 & Incendia will be back along with its signature performance area Grand Artique Bazaar plus a few new showcases for the 2023 festival. Chobeewobee Village, the cultural and artistic nucleus of OMF will once again feature food, drink, apparel and merchandise vendors, and more as well as HeadCount’s local nonprofit social action area Participation Row.

OMF also raises awareness on recycling and food rescue protocols, and proudly partners with HeadCount and local nonprofits to give back to the community. During the March 3-6, 2022 festival, OMF diverted 66,120 pounds of recyclable goods, 359,520 pounds of landfill waste, 2,300 pounds of reusable goods, and 12,460 pounds of scrap metal. The great efforts from all in attendance at OMF this year saw the festival recycle five more tons of reusable goods and 25 more tons of trash than in the previous year. 3,000 meals were also rescued for those struggling with food insecurity in Okeechobee County. OMF has donated more than $425,000 to local nonprofit organizations since 2016.
