Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival Returns for 2026
After a two-year pause, the Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival is making its long-awaited return. Organizers have confirmed the four-day, camping-friendly event will once again take place at Sunshine Grove from March 19–22, 2026.
A Decade of OMF Vibes
The 2026 edition will mark the festival’s 10-year anniversary, a milestone celebrated by Soundslinger, the original team behind Okeechobee. Festival founder Rechulski emphasized the festival’s creative roots, saying, “OMF has always been about more than just music — it’s a celebration of creative expression in all its forms.”
This reboot will stick to its beloved multigenre lineup, featuring artists from electronic, hip-hop, rock, indie, and more. While the official lineup is still under wraps, Ben Baruch and Dave Niedbalski, the original bookers, are back at the helm — setting the stage for a powerful artist roster.
From Insomniac to Independent Again
The 2020 and 2023 festivals were produced under Insomniac, the company behind Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC). However, Insomniac is no longer involved. Soundslinger has reclaimed full control, returning the event to its indie roots.
Camping and Presale Details
With few hotels nearby, camping is the move. A new option — the Okee OG Campground — will be available for veteran attendees. Presale access will roll out in waves:
