Deluna Fest Coming Soon to Pensacola

Florence
Pearl Jam, Florence and the Machine, Foo Fighters, Jimmy Cliff, Joan Jett,  the Zac Brown Band, Ben Folds Five, Dumpstaphunk and many others converge next month on the sugar-white sands of Pensacola Beach for Deluna Fest, which happens Sept. 21-23.

This festival started in 2010, and it's an eclectic mix of big-name rockers, New Orleans power bands and Southeastern tour stalwarts. It's not a camping festival, so you'll have to find lodging or get a spot in one of the state parks or private campgrounds.

Three-day tickets cost $234 (that includes taxes and fees) and single day tickets are $75.

The weird aspect of this fest is no one is allowed to bring any chairs.You can't bring an umbrella either.Or a camera with a "detachable lens." You can't swim in the ocean at the concert site, even though you're standing right there on the beach. Like I said, weird.
