The Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival is going down March 4, 5 and 6 and tickets have gone on-sale today. What is especially nice is that they also released the first wave of their lineup at the same time. Maybe because they are a first-year festival, they didn’t have the pull like Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza to start selling tickets before announcing a lineup.
The festival is going to be held on what was supposed to be a big housing development that never came to fruition after the housing market collapsed years ago. Instead, all that was developed was the land and some roads, which makes it perfect for a music and arts festival.
The Okeechobee Festival came out swinging with a set of headliners that cannot be more eclectic. Mumford and Sons, Skrillex and Kendrick Lamar pull from three different genres and guarantee something for everyone. Odds are there will be another announcement with three more headliners to go head-to-head with one another each night of the festival.
