Suwannee Springfest Tickets Increase Next Week

Tickets for the magical Suwannee Springfest increase in price from $155 to $170 on Feb. 13, so get 'em now.

For lovers of stringed instruments and players who can really play,  this an experience not to be missed. This is the festival's 18th year, and the lineup is fantastic. It's four days of camping (March 20-23) at Spirit of the Suwanee Music Park in Live Oak. The campground all-night jams are legendary.

Some of the best newgrass acts in the nation will grace the moss-draped stages: incredible North Carolina singer-songwriters and kick-ass performers The Avett Brothers, as well as The Punch Brothers (a band of virtuoso players fronted by MacArthur Genius Grant award-wining mandolin player Chris Thile.) Also on tap is the man considered the father of newgrass, Sam Bush., who always puts on a great show, Donna the Buffalo, The Duhks,  The Del McCoury Band, Greensky Bluegrass, and more.
