About Hulaween 2026
Suwannee Hulaween happens under the live oaks and Spanish moss of the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park: four late-October days built around three nights of The String Cheese Incident as resident hosts. Around them, each night gets its own co-headliner: Excision on Thursday, My Morning Jacket on Friday, Pretty Lights on Saturday and Geese on Sunday, plus a one-off Warren Haynes Incident collision.
No festival splits the jam-and-bass difference quite like it. The improvisers get STS9, EOTO, Lettuce, Karina Rykman, Eggy and The Greyboy Allstars; the electro-soul lane runs the Big Gramatik team-up, Daily Bread, Maddy O'Neal and OPIUO; and a legitimate dance wing (Green Velvet, Ben Böhmer, KETTAMA, Salute, INVT, Tokyo selector ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U) keeps the campground moving until sunrise.
Expect electronic, dance, dubstep and bass across 83 acts.

Indie rockGroove-pop
