Thursday, October 24 - Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 
Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida

“As a co-founder of the festival, the opportunity to reacquire Hulaween and continue its storied legacy is an incredible full-circle moment after over a decade of commitment and service to the Hulaween journey. Our goal to keep the dream alive is in the greatest possible hands with my friends and partners, Chris and Aaron, alongside the well-curated and longtime all-star team that produces Hulaween. Our independent festival is arguably the greatest in the world for multigenre lineups, experiential art, and a passionate community whose fans live for both.”  - Michael Berg, Co-Founder and Owner of Hulaween

Following the historic sold-out 10th anniversary in 2023, Suwannee Hulaween has just announced its monster, multi-genre lineup for the 11th annual edition, returning home to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida from Thursday, October 24 - Sunday, October 27, 2024. 

The 2024 edition represents a remarkable turning point in Hulaween’s history, as the festival’s original co-founder Michael Berg, and his business partners Chris den Uijl & Aaron Ampudia (of Baja Beach Fest, Suenos, North Coast, and more) have reacquired ownership of Hulaween ahead of this year’s event, following the sale of it after the 2018 edition. 

Since Hulaween’s inception in 2013, Berg and other Co-Founder Paul Levine have been a part of the team behind the festival’s dynamic, forward-thinking lineups and immersive, experiential elements, evolving Hulaween to become one of the country’s leading multi-genre camping events.

But now, alongside esteemed and celebrated industry veterans Chris den Uijl and Aaron Ampudia, as the festival’s co-progenitor steps back into an ownership role, Berg, den Uijl, and Ampudia will continue to build upon Hulaween’s unparalleled reputation as one of the last truly independent, large-scale music festivals thriving amongst today’s corporatized concert landscape. 

To commemorate this watershed moment, Hulaween’s 2024 expertly-curated lineup boasts an array of world-renowned musicians that coalesce all corners of the dance floor.

Hulaween 2024 will make history by hosting the world debut of The Bobby Weir Incident, with Grateful Dead founding member Bobby Weir and veteran festival ringleaders The String Cheese Incident performing together for the first - and perhaps the last time, as there are no future dates planned for this epic collaboration and crossover affair. The Bobby Weir Incident will play two consecutive sets to close out the festival on Sunday, mesmerizing attendees with galvanizing renditions of 3 hours of Grateful Dead classics. 

Hulaween will also usher in debut live performances from headliners such as legendary Long Beach punk/ska act Sublime with original members Eric & Bud alongside the late Bradley Nowell’s son, Jakob Nowell as the frontman, GRAMMY-winning rapper and activist Killer Mike, six-time GRAMMY-nominated duo Black Pumas, and Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tash Sultana.

Keeping their longstanding tradition alive, Hulaween residents The String Cheese Incident will serve up three nights of lavish headlining performances (in addition to their crossover with Bobby Weir). The festival will also welcome back British electronic music wizard Tipper, captivating jam/funk band Umphrey’s McGee, and bluegrass-rock melding outfit Greensky Bluegrass.

On the electronic music front, Hulaween will serve up a plethora of top-shelf headliners; UK drum and bass legends Chase & Status and Swiss South African melodic queen Nora En Pure will make their festival debuts, while veteran acts like Black Book Records boss Chris Lake, experimental bass maestro Of The Trees, French trailblazer CloZee, and WAKAAN boss Liquid Stranger will return to the festival as beloved fan-favorites.

Other fan-favorite electronic acts returning to the festival include renowned house music virtuoso LP Giobbi, electro-soul titan Daily Bread, house duo and Rules Don’t Apply label bosses Walker & Royce.

Most excitingly, Hulaween will proudly introduce a new 360-stage experience titled OFF LIMITS. The new stage will be located at Spirit Lake and feature underground dance music programming curated by DEF, fire effects by Incendia, Funktion-One sound system, and more than 20 TBA artists and surprise guests! Further details on the brand-new experience will be revealed with the OFF LIMITS lineup, coming soon. 

Staying true to its band-focused roots, Hulaween will boast a medley of celebrated acts including spirited blues rock group Andy Frasco & The U.N., jazz/funk guitarist and songwriter Cory Wong, New Orleans funk band Dumpstaphunk, Connecticut quartet Eggy, funk-fusion ensemble Lettuce, Australian psychedelic jazz group Mildlife, British four-piece jazz fusion band New Mastersounds, folk musician collective Sam Grisman Project, and female soul trio Say She She, among countless others.
 
Rounding out the lineup, Hulaween will also feature a bevy of debut performances from electronic support acts like New York-bred underground maestro &Friends, house music ace Airrica, melodic house titan Cassian, experimental bass wizard G Jones, German artist BUNT., LA-based house queen J Worra, vibrant Chicago electronic trio Levity, trap DJ/producer LYNY, German techno duo Township Rebellion, and a special set from The Disco Biscuits’ Marc Brownstein under his solo moniker DJ Brownie.

Since its inception in 2013, the Halloween-themed music, arts, and camping festival has evolved into one of the country’s most coveted cross-genre affairs. Over the course of the past decade, Hulaween has hosted a plethora of genre-crossing artists at the Spirit of the Suwannee’s idyllic grounds, which serves as the perfect setting for attendees to fully immerse themselves in Florida’s lush, enchanting nature.

Hulaween’s Spirit Lake is heralded as one of the leading immersive art experiences across American festivals, brimming with talented sculptors, fire/metal workers, painters, performance art thespians, and lighting designers. Attendees can revel in lakefront holographic projection mapping, hypnotizing light shows, and interactive installations.

Hulaween offers a variety of ticketing tiers for the 2024 festival including the newly-added GA+ which offers a dedicated lounge with a private bar, access to air-conditioned restrooms, and a concierge service. Primitive camping is included with GA, GA+, and VIP ticket options with car/RV camping passes available for an additional purchase. VIP ticketing tiers include VIP admission, indoor bathrooms, VIP viewing areas, swag bags, complimentary golf cart rides, and VIP primitive camping for Mummy and Werewolf. The Witch VIP package also includes a pre-set glamping tent and 2 VIP admission tickets plus catered meals. The Goblin and Vampire packages include VIP amenities plus an RV pass and VIP admission for 2 or 4 people, respectively. The Zombie package includes a VIP cabin on-site at the festival, VIP amenities, and VIP admission for 4 people. Attendees can also opt to purchase early arrival passes to set up their campsites ahead of the festival opening on Thursday.

Tickets will be available for purchase on Thursday, June 20 at 10 am EST with an exclusive pre-sale for members of the 2024 Hula Waitlist community starting at 9:30 am EST via https://suwanneehulaween.com/

Stay tuned for additional Hulaween announcements, including the OFF LIMITS programming by DEF for the 2024 edition.
