Amongst today’s corporatized concert landscape, Suwannee Hulaween is one of the last truly independent, large-scale music festivals around. The thriving Hallow’s Eve gathering has unveiled its historic, genre-crossing lineup to celebrate the festival’s tenth-anniversary celebration edition, returning home to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida.

Following a five-year hiatus, electro-soul pioneer Pretty Lights will headline two nights as his only East Coast festival performance on his Soundship Spacesystem Tour. It’s been nearly two decades since Pretty Lights started originating his signature, sample-heavy sounds that redefined America’s electronic music scene, and his exclusive East Coast festival set at Hulaween promises to showcase vibrant, bass-fueled sounds to the festival’s feverish audience.

Known globally for his playful demeanor and rip-roaring sets, tech-house maestro John Summit marks another Hulaween headliner. The Beatport chart-shredder will host Hulaween’s first-ever takeover by Off The Grid, Summit’s party-starting imprint, which will offer up sets by label favorites famed for igniting dance floors. Other electronic music heavyweights headlining Hulaween include Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist/producer Elderbrook, producer polymath Big Wild, and revered house producer/vocalist Channel Tres.

On the jam side of the lineup, Hulaween founders The String Cheese Incident will serve up three nights of headlining performances. Phish-offshoot Trey Anastasio Band and critically acclaimed indie-jam five-piece Goose will play consecutive sets on the same night, following their joint tour across the North East last fall. Other headlining bands include Hulaween staple Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (2 sets), the Hulaween debut of Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, and legendary roots-rock outfit Dispatch.

The festival will present a bevy of in-demand, electronic music support acts, including underground bass purveyor Eprom, ascendent bass producer ISOxo, genre-bending producer Manic Focus, ascendent trailblazer Moore Kismet, bass-focused producer supergroup Lab Group, and future-funk maestro Yung Bae.

Staying true to its band-focused roots, Hulaween will boast a medley of celebrated acts including funk-fusion ensemble Lettuce, funk-jam group Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and critically-acclaimed, and more.

After selling out its last five editions, the festival is commemorating a decade of success with its most impressive lineup yet. Hulaween takes place from Thursday, October 26 – Sunday, October 29, 2023.
