That will be a great time of year for a fest in FL. I wonder if they will keep basically the same setup as before or if they are revamping anything. I'd love to read an interview with someone that new what was at least hypothetically in the mix.

Here's the press release:
MEDIA ALERT For Immediate Release Langerado Music Festival Returns to South Florida
Limited Number of Early Bird Tickets on Sale March 9th
After a two-year hiatus, the Langerado Music Festival returns to South Florida in 2011 with a fresh infusion of energy and a diverse, powerful lineup. During its initial six-year run, Langerado delivered the music festival experience to the region, spawning a legion of loyal, passionate fans that have actively called for its return. The wait is officially over.
Langerado 2011 is making its return October 8-9 to beautiful Markham Park in Sunrise, Florida. Serving up a diverse collection of artists from indie rock to electronica to modern roots, the Festival will showcase 22 artists over two magical days. More than just the music, Langerado will fill the senses with other flavors of the region like an art market featuring the creative wares of local artists and artisans. Between sets, fans will also be able to recharge and fill up on some of the best eats around.
The reinvented Langerado is being produced by C3 Presents, in conjunction with Boros Entertainment. C3 is the force behind two of the country’s top destination music festivals – Austin City Limits Music Festival and Lollapalooza, and has a proven track record of revitalizing music brands and delivering events that are as memorable as they are successful. “Much like our other festivals, we want Langerado to be an experience, not just a concert,” says C3 Partner, Charlie Jones. “The environment and the community are critical to that experience, so it’s important to us to create an event that the fans and city will embrace.”
Rumors abound about the musical might that may land in Markham Park, but fans will have to wait until June 1 for the official lineup release. For those willing to take a leap of faith, a limited number of deeply discounted $75 2-Day Early Bird tickets go on sale at 11 a.m. ET on March 9th at www.langerado.com.
Once this allotment disappears, additional 2-Day tickets at the Advance Price of $150 (inclusive of all fees) will be available in conjunction with the official line-up announcement on June 1. For tickets and show information, visit www.langerado.com
The 2011 Langerado Music Festival is generously sponsored by Toyota and Sweet Leaf Tea.

Considering they'll be half price, I'd probably go ahead and try to get a ticket tomorrow, if I weren't planning to volunteer.
EDIT: This is the weekend before Deluna Fest in Pensacola (and Yonder Harvest in Ozark, AR). So it is looking more likely that I'll do this and Deluna in October instead of Yonder Harvest fest.
That will be a great time of year for a fest in FL. I wonder if they will keep basically the same setup as before or if they are revamping anything. I'd love to read an interview with someone that new what was at least hypothetically in the mix.
It is a great time of year except that it falls on Yom Kippur. oops.
Yes. There was a fenced off camping area, a short walk from the concert area. It didn't look like there was any shade, but the place was packed full of tents/people. In 07, it kind of felt like half the crowd camped/half drove in.

I live driving distance but I would definitely camp. I'm so happy about this announcement. Between this and Orlando Calling the Florida festival scene is really shaping up
Pre-sale sold out in a few seconds. I was in a meeting, but my wife said she couldn't get them and she tried right when it went live. Scalpers? Or did anyone on here get one?

Judging by facebook they only had 5 tickets or so for the presale. Now when the regular sale rolls around people will flip out and buy their tickets right away so it does not sell out. Then they might be able to get financial backing to book some artists.

1. Deluna Fest in Pensacola is gonna be the business. Much love for my hometown still trying to rep a festival (R.I.P. springfest)
2. Pssssshh i wish radiohead. C3 knows they're following the lineup for the year that never completed, 2009. Here's my hope/guess. Modest Mouse is currently touring (jealous of you Sasquatchians) maybe they shall grace us. fingers crossed. rumor started =P
Details remain a little murky as to how exactly the deal with C3 went down. “I didn’t have anything to do with the name transfer, that was all my former business partner,” says Ethan Schwartz, the co-founder of Langerado with his former partner, Mark Brown, whose Cloud 9 Adventures also puts on the Jam Cruise that leaves from Port Everglades each year. “I’m thrilled that Langerado is coming back. It was and always will be one of the most-important things I’ve ever been involved in. Knowing the kind of lineups that C3 is capable of putting together with Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, I think it’s safe to say that they’ll put something together that will blow South Florida audiences away. I will be attending, and I’m excited that I will actually get to see music at Langerado instead of running around working.”
Brown, Schwartz’s former partner, remains understandably tight-lipped about the sale. “I am not in a position to discuss the details of how the festival changed hands, but I am proud of all the hard work that went into building this great event for over six years and I am glad to see the festival come back to life,” he says. “I wish the new producers and the fans of Langerado many great times to come and hope South Florida embraces the opportunity to welcome great bands back to the festival platform.”

^Not anymore so than bonnaroo has the chance to be a wet fest.
South Florida weather is unpredictable.
But as far as being hit by a hurricane- I'm not too worried about it. What are the odds? We haven't had a hurricane in years, and maybe 1 tropical depression or tropical storm a year
Bummer! They must of had a VERY limited amount of tickets!
