Okeechobee 2017 (March 2-5, 2017)

I'm starting to consider this fest for 2017. How much were last year's tickets/was there a camping fee?

We are talking about budgeting this in, once the first wave drops. Hopefully, the lineup will be enticing enough to make it happen.

This fest is tits. Its at the perfect time of year. The hottest it got all weekend was a breezy 85. It sat in the 70s for most of the day and dropped into the 60s past midnight. On Friday it even dropped into the 50s.

Showers are hot and well pressured, with reasonable lines unless you go right as the showers are opened. Vendors EVERYWHERE offering EVERYTHING imaginable. There is shade in basically all of the campgrounds. Extremely well laid out with easy-to follow paths.

Oh, and the main venues are located at the center of the festival, unlike Centeroo which is kindve in a corner. The farthest possible walk to the main stages is 10-15 minutes.

Any idea on the dates for next year?

My way too early prediction is Stevie Wonder (legacy act) and Arcade Fire (Rock) as headliners

All in on this. Got a group going to make the drive down from Baltimore. Actually, probably going to make a whole trip of it and make some stops in Atlanta on the way down and Miami on the way back. Hell yea.

I've seen Stevie twice (ACL,Hangout) and I will always be happy to see him headline. Okee is definitely on the radar.

Curious about this too, because I am going to put in my vacation now.

Giving this a little bump up. I'm thinking dates are released at the end of this month/beginning of September and a first wave right after ACL to dominate what should be a quiet time for festival news.

Drake - Arcade Fire - Lana del Rey - Pretty Lights w/ Band
Kygo - Chance - The National - Flume - HAIM

Then bonnaroo books the majority of these same people for 3 months later...

Replace Tool with Arcade Fire for my own personal tastes and that's a dope mock.

Do you think LCD would play in Florida again so soon after playing III Points this fall? I have no idea what to expect from them as far as touring goes next year.

My mock based on their lineup last year + maybe a slightly bigger budget with higher attendance.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Frank Ocean - Flume

Kygo - The National - Chance the Rapper - The Chainsmokers

The Offspring - Haim - Ryan Adams - Young Thug

I'd have to disagree with you on that. I have a bunch of diehard Suwannee fans who go to every festival there and they all jumped ship to Voodoo once they saw that Tool was playing. I'm 21 and have never went out of my way to listen to them and I know at least 7 or 8 songs.

I just hope they get more great acts like Marcel Fengler, Voiski and Derrick May for the Jungle Stage.

I didn't include him but I could definitely see G eazy doing this. Also I avoided the chainsmokers but they are probably a lock as well.

I forgot how EDM top heavy the lineup was last year. Same with Rap. Even then it still had a good bit of diversity. Hit almost every genre point somewhere. Hope they do the same this time.
