Get Your Tickets Now for Next Month's Aura Festival



All the funky dancers are getting ready for the next stop on the Southeast fest lineup: The Aura Music and Arts Festival!

It's happening February 15-17 this year at the Spirit of the Suwanee Music Park in Live Oak, Fl. 

Although the festival has been happening in Florida since 2010, this is the first year it is being held at Spirit of the Suwannee, a most excellent venue. 

This is a camping fest, and features an eclectic mix of live electronica, funk, jazz, rock, reggae, jam and hip-hop. Three-day tickets, which include primitive camping, are $119 online right now. (They started at the sweet early bird deal of $75) Single-day tickets are also available. Gate price is going to be $150, so buy now to save.  

It's usually an awesome time for camping in North Florida, and although festgrrl has not had the pleasure of attending Aura before, fellow festivarian reviews of past Aura fests have been wildly enthusiastic. 

Aura headliners include national touring bands Perpetual Groove, Conspirator, Papadosio, and the Heavy Pets. (festgrrl likes the funk -- her pick is Kung Fu's tribute to Stevie Wonder with Dumpstaphunk's Nigel Hall Saturday afternoon in the ampitheater; also Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band out of North Carolina.) 

Late-night will feature DJ's Silent Disco.

You can check out the full lineup below, and the schedule here.
