The recent lineup announcement for Wakarusa 2015 has many fans stirring in anticipation for this years festival. Wakarusa has evolved into the epitome of eclectic festivals with genres ranging across the spectrum. It is a festival just big enough to bring in past acts such as STS9, Umphrey’s McGee, Bassnectar and The Flaming Lips and it is not so big that it has become an obnoxious commercialized festival. Rain or shine, dedicated fans have gathered at Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas to celebrate music, art, dance, food, friendship and life.
2015 will gladly see the return of several artist such as STS9, The Revivalists, Minnesota, Quixotic, Rebelution, Glalatic, Ozomatli and many more. A favorite addition to this years lineup is The Nth Power, a love-soul-funk-jam formed at an impromptu late night jam at New Orleans Jazz fest in 2012. This band has been taking the U.S. by storm and will surely bring the funk to Wakarusa. And let’s not forget to mention THE ROOTS!! Funk and hip hop will shake the grounds at Mulberry Mountain this year as the Philly born band that has rocked world since 1987 will bring the party for all dance-aholics!!
Jam, Funk, EDM, Folk, Rock, Americana, Electronic, Soul, Singer Songwriter or whatever floats your boat, WAKA will provide. There are still many lineup additions to come, so stay tuned and get ready for 2015 festival season! It’ never too early to plan ahead so grab some tickets for Wakarusa 2015, check out the full festival guide and past photos.
