Hulaween has officially unveiled the complete lineup for its 2026 return to Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, putting the finishing touches on one of the year’s most anticipated festival rosters. The beloved Halloween destination festival will return to Live Oak, Florida, from October 22–25, 2026, bringing together an eclectic mix of electronic, jam, indie, funk, rock, and experimental artists for another unforgettable weekend beneath the Spanish moss.
The festival’s final lineup announcement introduces several exciting additions, including KETTAMA, The Warren Haynes Incident, Frost Children (DJ Set), and Dean Turnley, while also revealing a special expanded performance from EOTO & Friends featuring Scott Metzger (Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, LaMP) on guitar and Kyle Hollingsworth (The String Cheese Incident) on keys.
For dance music fans, KETTAMA’s arrival is one of the biggest late additions to the bill. The Irish producer has become one of the hottest names in underground house and techno, known for his rave-inspired sound and energetic festival performances. Dean Turnley also joins the lineup following a breakout year fueled by his viral hit “Actin’ Tough,” while Frost Children will bring their signature genre-bending blend of indie-pop and electronic music in a special DJ set.
Jam fans have plenty to celebrate as well. The Warren Haynes Incident promises to be a can’t-miss Saturday night Shebang performance celebrating the music of The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers Band—a fitting tribute considering Warren Haynes’ deep history with both legendary groups and the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park itself. Meanwhile, the newly expanded EOTO & Friends collaboration continues one of Hulaween’s favorite traditions of creating once-in-a-lifetime performances exclusive to Suwannee.
These final additions round out an already stacked lineup featuring Pretty Lights, My Morning Jacket, Excision, The String Cheese Incident (performing three nights), STS9, Of The Trees, Daily Bread, Green Velvet, Ben Böhmer, Big Gramatik, Levity, Crankdat, Hamdi, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Geese, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, and dozens more artists spanning nearly every corner of the modern festival landscape.
Beyond its impressive artist roster, Hulaween continues to evolve the festival experience itself. One of the biggest programming highlights returning in 2026 is a series of curated artist takeovers, including Green Velvet presents LaLaLand, Of The Trees’ Memory Palace, and the Def: Off Limits Stage, each offering attendees immersive, artist-driven experiences throughout the weekend.
The festival is also introducing several fan-focused improvements this year. Four-day General Admission passes start at $469, representing a price reduction of more than $75 compared to 2025. Hulaween is also bringing back the full Spirit Lake 360° Experience, restoring the complete walking path around its iconic immersive art installation after attendee feedback.
VIP guests can expect expanded amenities as well, including a new Meadow Field entrance, the return of the River Road VIP Lounge access point, additional shuttle service throughout the park, and upgraded VIP welcome packages. New glamping accommodations and preset RV camping options are also being introduced, making it easier than ever for travelers to arrive with their accommodations already set up.
Now entering its 13th year, Hulaween has cemented itself as one of North America’s premier destination festivals. While many festivals lean heavily into a single genre, Hulaween has always embraced musical discovery, seamlessly blending electronic music, jam bands, indie rock, funk, bass, and experimental artists into a weekend that feels uniquely Suwannee.
Of course, the music is only part of what makes Hulaween special. Spirit Lake remains one of the most celebrated immersive art experiences in the festival world, transforming the forest into a surreal landscape of interactive installations, projection mapping, live performers, and hidden surprises waiting to be discovered after sunset. Combined with the legendary camping culture of Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, Hulaween has built a reputation as much for its community as its lineup.
With the final artist additions now announced, the countdown to Halloween weekend officially begins. Whether you’re planning to catch three nights of The String Cheese Incident, dance until sunrise with Pretty Lights, experience KETTAMA’s Suwannee debut, or lose yourself in Spirit Lake, Hulaween 2026 is shaping up to be another unforgettable chapter in one of the country’s most beloved festival traditions.
Hulaween 2026 takes place October 22–25 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida. Tickets are on sale now through Hulaween’s official website.
