Festivals

Early details of a major new festival experience that will take place just outside Florida's magnificent Lake Okeechobee have been announced. Slated for March 4th - 6th, 2016, Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival will be Florida's biggest ever camping festival, with an extraordinary multi-genre bill boasting more than 80 artists, bands, and DJs from around the globe performing across five diverse stages.

In the wake of an awful set of circumstances, faced with the possibility of a non-existent fall music extravaganza, the fabulous folk of Deadhead Productions have again stepped up to the plate with their announcement of Hillberry 2: The Harvest Moon Festival.  Earlier this year we told you all about the 1st Hillberry Music Festival that occurred this August on the Farm outside Eureka Springs, Arkansas… well party people, get ready to do it all over again!

I awoke Friday to the sounds of car horns honking at 6 o’clock sharp, as the initial Lockn’ Festival attendees were allowed entrance. We all understand the excitement and the urge to share it with the world, but stealing the rarest and most desirable of festival resources is just uncompassionate. A little rudeness will not keep me from “Feeling Alright.” Internal monologue starts, “And so Lockn’ begins. Get up@!

Of all the events that I have covered and shows that I have attended, none sparks or enlightens the soul more than ARISE. Creators and producers Tierro Lee and Paul Bassis have worked extremely hard to craft a festival that has something for everyone. This festival just feels good, like the energy in Maui. The music lineup is extremely diverse, the activities are plentiful, and the vibe is second to none.

Today, Silver Wrapper and Purple Hat Productions unveils over 25 new additions to the original lineup, adding to the festival's depth and prestige. Suwannee Hulaween challenges festival goers to step outside the norm and explore the new, the fresh, and the worthy that will be on display throughout their attendance.

If you love bluegrass and jam rock, dogs, swimming, and good people, Shoe Fest is the place for you!

A microburst came through Arrington, VA Wednesday afternoon, leveling all the tents and structures at Oak Ridge Farm. Staff members were thrown through the air by walls of wind gusting over 70 miles an hour.  The pummeling of Oak Ridge lasted 10 minutes and delayed Lockn’s opening until today. A big heart-felt thank you and much respect goes out to all the staff that worked overtime to rebuild the festival grounds.

Opening of Campgrounds Delayed Until Further Notice and Thursday Performances Canceled
 

From honky-tonk angels to sinners and saints, the Muddy Roots Music Festival in Cookeville, TN had something for everyone and a whole lot for folks that love it all. Clearly defined genres were boldly represented and appreciated by loyal fans, and musicians that dwell in the indefinable world of music strutted their talents to equally adoring crowds. This is the 7th year for the fest located in the rolling hills if middle Tennessee.

RimRock Events is grateful to announce the inaugural RimRock Music & Camping Festival, to be held September 11-12, 2015 on Eagle Cliff Road in Conifer, CO.  Conifer is 15 miles south of Red Rocks on Hwy 285 and on the RDT route from Denver. This event could currently be the best kept secret in music. 

Our lineup is stellar, headlined by the Kyle Hollingsworth Band.  Be it jam band, bluegrass, reggae, rhythm & blues, funkadelic, acid jazz, party rock, or acoustic, these are skilled and seriously fun entertainers!
