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, bass and jam across 83 acts.

Three nights as Hulaween's resident hosts — bluegrass roots stretched through funk, calypso, and full-blown electronica, costumes strongly encouraged.
A one-off collision: the festival's house band handing its stage over to a guitarist raised on Allmans-scale blues — jam-summit history in real time.
Osaka-born cult selector Yousuke Yukimatsu — genre-shredding DJ sets that went from viral clips to worldwide bookings, anything-goes technique with total joy.
Deep, dubwise bass music built on space and restraint rather than impact — subterranean low end and meditative pacing in the West Coast deep-dubstep lineage.

AK Sports
Anthill Cinema
ASYDEQUEST
American duo folding South Asian melodic and rhythmic material into deep, warm house — club music built from a specific diasporic record collection.

Gudfella
Neon no-wave that turned genuinely poppy without losing any of the nervous energy — DIY-scene veterans reborn as day-glo dance-punk evangelists.

Hershe
Heyz
HHUNTER

A bassist-bandleader playing exploratory rock with the grin of someone who cannot believe this is the job — a jam-scene favorite on pure charisma and chops.
Melodic techno with actual vocal hooks — built for the moment the lights come up over a field, performed as a live duo rather than a DJ set.
Irish rave-house heat — big-room energy with underground credentials, breakbeats and pianos at full sprint, Galway-to-warehouse momentum fully underway.

The Ain't Sisters
Deep-crate boogaloo and soul-jazz played by a band that has been doing it since the acid-jazz era — grooves aged like good vinyl.
The Yeah Babys
Tini Gessler
Spanish DJ closely tied to the elrow party universe — tech house pitched at confetti-strewn, costumed rooms rather than the back of the club.
Tire Fire
Instrumental Seattle soul with a horn section that plays like a single instrument — pocket-first funk with zero filler.
