With just weeks to go until Hulaween returns to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, the festival has revealed its stage lineups and immersive themes for the 12th annual celebration. Running Thursday, October 30th through Sunday, November 2, the event continues its tradition of uniting global talent, cutting-edge production, and artistic spectacle for one of the country’s most distinctive music festivals.
At the center of the experience is The Meadow, the festival’s main stage. Anchored by six sets from The String Cheese Incident, The Meadow also features two sets from Goose along with performances by ILLENIUM, Parcels, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Molly Tuttle, Grace Bowers & The Hodge Podge, and Shadowgrass. Known for its fireworks, large-scale visuals, and natural backdrop, The Meadow remains the focal point of Hulaween’s biggest performances.
The Hallows balances improvisational jam with experimental electronic music, offering a lineup that highlights The Disco Biscuits with two sets, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead with a two-hour performance, and a guided Lightcode meditation from LSDREAM. The stage also showcases Glass Beams, LSZEE (the collaborative project between LSDREAM and CloZee), Arc de Soleil, Franc Moody, Jade Cicada, Mersiv, Tape B, and a joint set by Mersiv B2B Tape B.

Other highlights include Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Dogs in a Pile, and High Fade. The stage transforms through projection mapping, large-scale fire effects, and interactive sculptures, creating an environment where visual art is as important as the music itself.

Beyond the music, Hulaween 2025 builds on its reputation for creative theming. This year’s four immersive concepts invite attendees into entirely different worlds: “Beyond the Radiant Veil: There’s No Place Like Home” reimagines Oz in masquerade, “The Mad Hatter’s Purple Ball” offers a cosmic gala of whimsy, “Vampires, Sinners, & Saints” blends darkness with redemption, and “Wicked Dark Disco Circus” closes the weekend in glitter and spectacle. Each theme integrates music, costumes, and visual design to encourage full participation from the Hulaween community.
The festival has also introduced new on-site amenities, including Wizard Pass glamping packages designed for comfort with furnished tents, portable cooling units, and curated details. Merchandise collaborations include limited-edition prints with acclaimed artist Sangho Bang, with exclusive designs available online and on-site.
With expanded ticketing options, from multi-day passes to single-day entry, Hulaween 2025 continues to position itself as one of the most inclusive and multifaceted events in North America. By pairing its signature jam roots with forward-thinking electronic programming and immersive art, the festival maintains its reputation as both a cultural landmark and a transformational experience for fans. All tickets and camping packages are available now via hulaween.com.
Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
