Suwannee Hulaween has revealed alternative indie-rock band Rainbow Kitten Surprise as the festival’s secret headliner ahead of the festival’s tenth anniversary celebration edition. Hulaween is returning once again to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida from Thursday, October 26 - Sunday, October 29, 2023.
Hulaween is one of the last truly-independent, large-scale music festivals thriving amongst today’s corporatized concert landscape, and after selling out its last five editions (and already almost 80% sold out for this year’s event), the festival is commemorating a decade of success with its most impressive lineup yet.
This year's Hulaween is one of the very few places that fans will be able to see electro-soul pioneer Pretty Lights, who is headlining the festival following a five-year music hiatus. His exclusive East Coast festival set at Hulaween promises to showcase vibrant, bass-fueled sounds to the festival’s feverish audience.
Other headliners include Hulaween founders The String Cheese Incident, Phish-offshoot Trey Anastasio Band, critically-acclaimed indie-jam five piece Goose, Hulaween staple Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (2 sets), tech-house maestro John Summit, five-piece indie rock band Mt. Joy, producer polymath Big Wild, neo-soul rapper Smino, GRAMMY-nominated multi-instrumentalist/producer Elderbrook, revered house producer/vocalist Channel Tres, the Hulaween debut of Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, and legendary roots-rock outfit Dispatch.
