As Suwannee Hulaween 2024 kicks off its 11th annual celebration, this year marks a momentous milestone in the festival’s history. Returning once again to the enchanting Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, this edition brings with it a new era. Hulaween’s original co-founder, Michael Berg, alongside industry visionaries Chris den Uijl and Aaron Ampudia, has reacquired ownership of the festival. Together, they are steering Hulaween forward, preserving its legacy as one of the country’s last truly independent, large-scale music festivals.
After last year’s sold-out 10th anniversary, Hulaween is back, bigger and better than ever, with a multi-genre lineup that promises an extraordinary musical journey. Headliners like Black Pumas, Sublime (featuring original members Eric & Bud with Jakob Nowell), electronic giant Chris Lake, activist-rapper Killer Mike, and sonic wizard Tipper lead the charge. Festival favorites such as Tash Sultana, Chase & Status, the brilliant CloZee, Greensky Bluegrass, and bass titan Liquid Stranger will also grace the stages, delivering unforgettable performances.
However, the pinnacle of Hulaween 2024 is undoubtedly the world premiere of The Bobby Weir Incident. In an unprecedented collaboration, Grateful Dead co-founder Bobby Weir and long-time festival icons The String Cheese Incident will join forces for two historic sets, offering festival-goers three hours of Grateful Dead classics in what may be a once-in-a-lifetime performance.
This year also introduces a fresh evolution in Hulaween’s musical journey with the highly anticipated OFF LIMITS Stage, a groundbreaking partnership with the women-led DEF collective. Designed to offer an intimate, immersive, 360-degree fan experience, this stage will feature the underground’s most sought-after acts from across the electronic spectrum, including house, techno, drum and bass, UKG, and bass music.
Debuting at Hulaween and the OFF LIMITS Stage, a new generation of trailblazing electronic artists will push the boundaries of sound. Azzecca brings her distinctive house rhythms, while Ian Asher and Will Clarke promise to light up the dancefloor with infectious beats. Bass enthusiasts can expect powerful sets from GUDFELLA and Bou, the UK drum and bass pioneer.
For fans seeking genre-blending sounds, Taiki Nulight will fuse bass and garage into a thrilling performance, while rising stars AYYBO and Eazybaked bring their cutting-edge bass music to the stage. The futuristic duo CHROMEBODIES will captivate with their otherworldly performance, and the b2b set from Justin Jay and Nala is poised to leave a lasting impression with their dynamic, genre-defying collaboration.
And the excitement doesn’t end there. Rounding out this spectacular lineup, Hulaween will also feature debut performances from some of the electronic scene’s most exciting rising stars. New York-bred underground maestro &Friends, house music ace Airrica, and melodic house powerhouse Cassian are set to electrify the audience. Experimental bass wizard G Jones, genre-fusing German artist BUNT., and LA-based house queen J Worra will each bring their own unique flavor to the stage. Fans will also be treated to vibrant performances from Chicago’s electronic trio Levity, trap DJ/producer LYNY, and the German techno duo Township Rebellion. To top it all off, The Disco Biscuits’ Marc Brownstein will perform a special set under his solo alias, DJ Brownie, offering a one-of-a-kind experience.
The OFF LIMITS Stage will not just be a stage—it’s where innovation meets community, designed to foster a sense of connection between artists and fans, breaking down barriers in the underground music world. This immersive space will elevate the energy of the festival, and is a testament to Hulaween’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of music and experience.
As attendees gather for this historic weekend, Hulaween 2024 invites everyone to celebrate not only the iconic headliners like The String Cheese Incident and Bobby Weir, but also the new wave of electronic talent making their Hulaween debut. In every corner of the festival, from the band-driven stages to the electronic underground, Hulaween continues to evolve, staying true to its roots while embracing new artistic frontiers.
Prepare yourselves, Hulaween family, because the energy, the sound, and the magic of Suwannee Hulaween 2024 are just getting started. Welcome to the next chapter of Suwannee Hulaween. Welcome to OFF LIMITS!”
