Legandary lineup

With a lineup that included surefire
contemporary acts such as Skrillex,
Kendrick Lamar, Bonobo, Bassnectar, and
Big Gigantic; and an array of legends like
Robert Plant, Hall and Oates, and Kamasi
Washington; Okeechobee had something
for everyone. Nobody was bored with the
constantly shifting and genre-bending
sounds resonating from the Grove.

Zones W/ Personality

Okeechobee was comprised of a handful of distinct areas
offering attendants different ways to escape from reality.
There’s nothing more relaxing than waking up, making
a mimosa, and meandering the length of Aquachobee
beach zone, but if you’d rather start your day with group
yoga, Yogachobee offered classes throughout the day
free of charge. Okeechobee also featured the bazaar-like
Chobewobee Village – a gypsy paradise filled with art, goods,
and unique experiences. The Grove is the official grounds
for Okeechobee’s main acts and headliners, but if you’re
still thirsty for bass once the Grove closes at 2 a.m. There’s
another 7 hours of jungle raving going down in Jungle 51
(just watch out for the aliens).

Big Fest Small feel

30,000 people has never felt so
big and so small all at the same
time. When everyone gathered
for some of the show stopping
performances like Bassnectar,
it felt like one huge family of
ravers. However, from moment
to moment, the festival was an
intimate meeting ground perfect
for learning more about yourself
and others.
