Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival takes place March 4-6 in Okeechobee, Florida. The festival is co-founded by Paul Peck, the producer behind Bonnaroo's famous SuperJams. His new festival has just announced their inaugural all-star jam (called the PoWoW!).
Miguel and Arcade Fire's Win Butler will lead the PoWoW! as co-creative directors, with John Oates (of Hall & Oates) serving as music director. Kamasi Washington, the Meters' George Porter Jr. and Zigaboo Modeliste, members of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, DJ Chris Karns, and Soulive's Eric Krasno will also participate. Special guests are promised.
Okeechobee's lineup also includes Kendrick Lamar, Future, Skrillex, Fetty Wap, Ween, Big Grams, Mac Miller, Mumford & Sons, Youth Lagoon, Hundred Waters, Shabazz Palaces, Robert Plant, the Avett Brothers, Odesza, Dungen, and more.
“This is a group of artists, each at the pinnacle of their respective genres, but this performance will obliterate genre barriers and create an epic dance party under the stars at Okeechobee 2016,” said Peck in a statement. “I love surprises, so you can be sure we’ve got a few major tricks up our sleeve.”
