Langerado Music Festival

Posted by Pro Music World Published in Music Events, Music News

The Langerado Music Festival is coming to the Everglades on March 6-9, 2008 and, as usual, features a huge lineup of artists. Now in it’s 6th year, the Langerado Music Festival has become the unofficial “kickoff” to festival season in the United States. Langerado was begun by promoters Mark Brown and Ethan Schwartz as a way to bring the exploding jam-based live music scene to South Florida. Over the course of its existence, Langerado has transformed from a genre-based festival to a more eclectic event that now spans the boundaries of the live music experience. Never afraid to take chances, Langerado has featured an incredible array of the best in live music in its 5 years.

Relocated to the magical Big Cypress Reservation, Langerado continues the process of introducing incredible musical acts to the South Florida community, as well as to all those who travel from across the globe for the beautiful weather and friendships made under the crystal clear skies of Florida’s Everglades.

This year, one lucky band will get the opportunity to once again open the Langerado Music Festival on Thursday March 6th. Submissions will be accepted through February 20th, and the band will perform prior to Les Claypool on the Sunset Stage as the opening act to the 2008 Langerado Music Festival.
