News/Announcements: Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival Announces 2026 Second Wave Lineup

Founded back in 2015 by acclaimed DJ and producer Rechluski and a group of music industry veterans, Soundslinger, is an independent real estate and live event company dedicated to developing music, art and lifestyle experiences that create lasting value for both fans and the community of Okeechobee, FL.

Soundslinger is dedicated to shaping and enriching Florida’s cultural landscape through its events that thoughtfully blend music, the arts, nature, and camping for an unparalleled experience. The Okeechobee FL-based company has curated Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival (OMF) since 2016, drawing over 175,000 attendees and showcasing an eclectic and impressive roster of more than 750 renowned artists across multiple stages in its almost decade-long history. Past headliners have included globally renowned acts like Mumford & Sons, Kendrick Lamar, Skrillex, Usher feat. The Roots, Snoop Dogg, Tame Impala, Kings of Leon, Post Malone, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Sven Vath and GRiZ among a list of others.

Founded in 2016 with a mandate of authenticity, kindness and respect between each other and the environment we inhabit, OMF returns to celebrate the spirit of music, arts and community with epic live perfomances and “Only-at-Okeechobbe” immersive experiences unlike those found at any other festival across the globe.

Earlier today, Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival organizers announced the star-studded second wave lineup, celebrating the festival’s 10th anniversary — and its return from a three-year hiatus — will take place March 19, 2026 – March 22, 2026 in Sunshine Grove, Soundslinger’s picturesque 830+ acre property, which is a roughly a one to two-and-half hour drive from Orlando, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Miami and Fort Lauderdale among other cities.

The newest editions to OMF’s 10th anniversary edition include Cage The Elephant, Knock 2, LCD Soundsystem, Freddie Gibbs, Japanese Breakfast, Paris Texas, Beltran, Dirty Heads and Empress Of.

OMF organizers also announced the first-ever Aquachobee Dub Reggae Takeover, featuring reggae legends Mykal Rose and Sister Nancy, Subatomic Sound System, Screechy Dan, Scientist and Papa Michigan. There will also be an Opening Ceremony with a traditional Rastafarian Drum Circle led by the artists and special guests.

OMF 2026 will also present Incendiary, a four-night inferno of underground energy, bass and special guests curated by Renegade NYC, a leading culture-driven experiential production agency and a defining nationally-recognized cultural influencer and tastemaker, known for creating transformative experiences that resonate on a visceral level.

All of this is in addition to previously announced headlining sets from The Lumineers, T-Pain, Fisher and GRiZ, who will be performing two sets, including a “Chasing The Golden Hour Set.” The festival will be rounded out by sets from Alison Wonderland, Big Gigantic, Big Wild, BigXthaPlug, BLAAP, flip turn, Ganja White Night, Goth Babe, Gramatik, IAN, LP Giobbi, LSDream (including LSDream presents LIGHTCODE), The Disco Biscuits, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Tractorbeam, Tycho and Young The Giant. Many of these ads have played the festival multiple times, including GRiZ, who will be making his fifth OMF appearance — continuing the festival’s legacy of community and tradition.

The 10th anniversary edition of OMF will see the return of one of the festival’s defining moments, the PoWoW!, an all-star jam session pairing unexpected collaborations for a variety of live mashups filled with creativity and imagination.

For those who want to keep rocking out until the break of dawn, OMF 2026 will keep those vibes going with the Jungle 51 Stage, which will feature extended sets from internationally known and recognized DJs from sundown to sunrise, capturing club energy — but in a verdant jungle. During the daytime hours, Jungle 51 will morph into a wellness forest where attendees can participate in yoga and other mindful programming, or simply lounge around in the shade and enjoy the tropical surroundings.

Many other “Only at Okeechobee” experiences will also be available during the festival’s run, offering enrichment and exclusive happenings that are intrinsically connected to the surrounding ecosystem, including the fully reimagined Chowbewobee Village, which meshes interactive art, surprise spectacles, environmental inversion and sonic takeovers and the Farmers Market, where attendees can buy fresh local produce, food and drinks from the festival’s neighbors. The festival will embrace local Florida culture with the participation of several area collectives including Disolypso, Zey Zey Miami, Mad Radio, and Alegria Community.

OMF 2026 organizers also include a new range of elevated dining experiences including the Speakeasy Experience: Champagne Problems, which is open to all ticket types and VIP Dining Experience: The Grove Table.
