Get Your Wanee Tix Before the Price Goes Up

Ticket prices increase on March 28 for the 10th annual  Wanee Festival, which happens April 10-12 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Fl. A weekend ticket, which includes camping Thursday to Saturday, is $228 (plus fees) advanced.VIP tickets are sold out. 

This is one of the biggest festivals at Spirit of the Suwannee, hosted each year by The Allman Brothers. And this year will be bittersweet for Allman fans because Gregg Allman has announced that The Allman Brothers Band will stop touring after 2014. Gregg Allman has been suffering health problems, and this week, Gregg's illness forced the band to reschedule its Beacon Theater run in New York.

Like I said, this is a big, rowdy festival, and one that's not so easy to bring little kids to. The trick for Wanee is to be as self-sufficient in your camp as you can, and get there as early as you can. 

There's a Wednesday pre -party for an extra charge. 

Here's a look at the 2014 Wanee lineup: 

The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Trey Anastasio Band, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Gov't Mule, Jaimoe's Jasssz Band, Umphrey's McGee, Ziggy Marley, Blues Traveler, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Hot Tuna, moe., Rusted Root, Dumpstaphunk, Soulive, Royal Southern Brotherhood, Walter Trout, Rob Garza, Blind Boys of Alabama, Melvin Seals & JGB, Bobby Lee Rodgers, Futurebirds, Matt Schofield, Break Science, Sean Chambers, The Yeti Trio
